Product Description

The most custom comfort available in a keyboard.

The Freestyle Solo in combination with the Freestyle Ascent accessory allow for an almost infinite range of flexibility in setup. The Freestyle Ascent accessory is not necessary to take advantage of the splayed typing position, though I do recommend using it to tent the Freestyle to the full 90 degree vertical position to allow for the most neutral typing position.

From Kinesis

The Kinesis Freestyle adjustable split 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. Four optional accessory packages, the Freestyle Incline, Freestyle VIP, Freestyle V3, and Freestyle Ascent Multi-Tent can be purchased to provide additional capabilities. These five configurations allow the user to choose features that offer complete separation, adjustable front splay, adjustable or fixed tenting, with or without 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 (PC only), low-profile design to promote neutral wrist posture, a Pivot Tether connecting the two keying modules together and quiet, tactile key switches.


Freestyle Incline Accessory

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 reducing pronation of forearms and wrists.
  • 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.



Freestyle VIP Accessory

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, positioning your forearms and wrists in a more comfortable position by reducing pronation.
  • 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".

Freestyle V3 Accessory

The V3 accessory attaches easily to the base of the Solo Keyboard allowing quick and reproducible slope settings of 5, 10 and 15 degrees without the use of integrated palm supports. Features include:

  • Left and Right V3 V-Lifters: the V3 V-lifter quickly and easily alternates the slope of the keyboard from 5, 10 & 15 degrees positioning your forearms and wrists in a more comfortable position by reducing pronation.
  • Unlike the VIP the V3 does not require the installation of palm supports prior to use.
  • 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".

Freestyle Ascent Multi-Tent Accessory

More than just a vertical keyboard
The new Freestyle Ascent accessory kit provides two multi-angle tenting* modules which attach to the underside of the keying modules, plus a linking plate which may be used to connect the two keying modules if desired.

Tenting angles may be independently set for each keying module in the range of 20 to 90 degrees, in 10 degree increments. Left/right separation is limited only by the length of the keyboard's linking cable. The standard 8" separation is adequate for most users, but the 20" linking cable is recommended for greater flexibility. Keyboards with the 8 inch linking cable may be upgraded to the 20" cable, please contact Kinesis technical support for further information.

The Ascent can also be used in conjunction with the optional Freestyle palm supports, most aptly suited for the lower tent settings of 20, 30 and 40 degrees.

*Tenting is the elevation of the center portion of your split keyboard. By raising your thumbs, your forearms muscles become relaxed reducing pronation, resulting in significantly improved comfort and blood flow.
