Description

The Freestyle2 is an award-winning split keyboard designed to address the ergonomic risk factors related to typing by adjusting to your body. It features a familiar Mac layout, Mac shortcuts and hotkeys, and a 2-port USB Hub.

Features

Sleek, low-profile design: Most keyboards including ergonomic models have a 10 degree positive slope from front to back. These designs tend to bend your wrists. The Freestyle2 has a zero degree slope which minimizes the height, effectively creating negative slope and reducing wrist extension. The slim design provides a 2-in-1 office and travel keyboard.
Accommodates a wide range of individuals
Accommodates a wide range of individuals: From small to tall and body types in between, the Freestyle2 allows for maximum flexibility catering to each individual’s unique needs. Out of the box both modules are connected together by a flexible pivot tether allowing an infinite range of splay. Disconnecting the pivot tether allows up to 9 or 20 inches of complete separation of both left and right keying modules. Perfect for individual needs ranging from a narrow footprint to complete separation. This design greatly reduces and or/eliminates ulnar deviation.
Accommodates a wide range of individuals
Low-force, tactile key switches: The Freestyle2 utilizes a quiet, low-force, tactile membrane key switch. The typical average maximum key force of a switch is 45 grams. This is at least 25% less than most traditional and many ergonomic keyboards such as the Microsoft 4000 with maximum key forces of over 60 grams.
2-Port 2.0 USB hubThe 2-port 2.0 USB hub enables you to easily connect other input devices such as mice without having to access USB ports on your computer.
Left side driverless hot keys: Driverless hot keys for commonly used mouse actions. (Internet Page Forward and Back, Beginning of Line, End of Line, Cut, Undo, Copy, Select All and Paste). A vertical rib is located on the inside row of hot keys to provide tactile notification to the user
Standard key layout: Familiar key layout provides for minimal adaptation time.
Optional palm supports: Optional padded palm supports reduce wrist extension by keeping wrists neutral.Optional palm supports
