You can also fit a beverage of your choice between the two parts if you move the keypad.Ĭontrary to what the company says on their website, the keys are quite loud.

After a couple of weeks of really easy work, all of my problems went away and I could get back to working full time. Fortunately, the new keyboard was a super medicine. I did some reading and changed everything I could about my work environment to make it more ergonomic. This was not only painful and unpleasant, but it also made it impossible to work, so I had to do something. A slightly tingling feeling in my right forearm got worse and worse to a point where I lost all strength in my forearm and hand and couldn’t type more than about 20 seconds at a time. I started getting problems with carpal tunnel syndrome. The number keypad has two USB ports at the back. The main keyboard has several extra keys with common shortcuts like cut, copy, paste, undo, etc. The height of the stands can also be adjusted to three different levels and the keyboard can be used without them, simply lying flat on the table.

With the additional palm supports and the sloping stands, your hands can rest easily and slightly slanted on the keyboard, alleviating or preventing carpal tunnel syndrome. This creates a more natural and ergonomic position mitigating stress on the back, wrists and lower arms. The Kinesis Freestyle 2 is an ergonomic keyboard that you can divide in half so that the two parts, and consequently also your hands, are right in front of your body instead of directed inwards. Price: Around 250 euros a year ago with palm supports, adjustable sloping ‘stands’, and number keypad.
