Kinesis Freestyle Keyboards
November 30, 2006, Las Vegas, Nevada: The Kinesis Freestyle Keyboard is voted by NECE attendees as one of the most likely products to increase productivity and profitability, while improving workplace health and safety.
The Kinesis® FreestyleTM convertible keyboard is a breakthrough in ergonomic design. Created with input from ergonomists and health professionals, the Freestyle adapts to the specific needs of each user, while providing a stylish accent to any workstation.
Featuring simple, sturdy adjustment mechanisms the Freestyle is intuitive to configure and use. Interchangable accessories provide features never before available from just one keyboard design - the Freestyle Solo™. Two optional accessory packages, the Freestyle Incline™ and Freestyle VIP™ can be purchased to provide additional capabilities. These three configurations allow the user to choose features that offer complete separation and/or adjustable front splay, adjustable or fixed tenting, plus integrated and removable, padded palm supports.
Other unique features of the Solo keyboard include driverless hot keys for mouse intensive actions, an embedded 10-key, low-profile design to promote neutral wrist posture, a Pivot Tether™ connecting the two keying modules together and quiet, tactile key switches.
Features
The VIP (V-Lifter and Integrated Palm Supports) accessories attach easily to the base of the Solo Keyboard allowing quick and reproducible slope settings of 10 and 15 degrees. Features include:
- Left and Right V-Lifters: the V-lifter quickly and easily alternates the slope of the keyboard from 10 to 15 degrees.
- Integrated, padded palm supports ensures that wrists are neutral while resting.
- Use with or without the pivot/tether. The pivot tether connects the two keying modules of the Solo keyboard together. Disconnect the pivot tether if greater separation is required.
- Provides a highly stable typing platform with no "bounce".
The Solo keyboard mounts easily onto the Incline base providing a moderate fixed tenting angle and adjustable splay of both keying modules. Features include:
- 10-degree fixed tenting of keying modules.
- Adjustable splay (up to 30 degrees) of both keying modules.
- Keying modules can be locked at any given splay angle.
- Markings in 10 degree increments are embossed on the base, to facilitate reproducible splay settings.
- Padded palm supports.
- The Solo keyboard can be easily removed from the base for individuals that require greater separation but no tenting.
