Last post I wrote about the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB Keyboard, an ergonomic gaming keyboard that is nice but expensive. Know that if you are purchasing the Freestyle Edge, you are paying for the luxury of RGB backlighting. You can see my full review of the Freestyle Edge here. For a more affordable option, consider the Kinesis Freestyle2. Before I begin, I would like to mention that I am not a doctor, and this review is based on my personal experience. For medical advice, always consult a doctor. This is not a paid review, but I will be using affiliate links to the products. If you choose to purchase anything I recommend, I get a small commission if you buy using my links. It isn't much, but every little bit helps. The Kinesis Freestyle2 is a wired split keyboard designed for ergonomics. The keyboard comes in a nine-inch split and a 20-inch split variation. I have the nine-inch split version, and I don't feel like I need any more. Plan for your setup. I have wide shoulders, and the split design has allowed for a more comfortable position. My only complaint about the Kinesis split keyboards is that they do not come with the optional tenting kit. Kinesis offers an optional tenting kit for all their split keyboards for a more ergonomic experience. I used the Freestyle2 without the kit, but I am so used to the tilt that I had to buy the kit for this one as well. Most people should be fine using the keyboard without the kit, but personally, the tenting kit makes long typing sessions a lot more comfortable. The Freestyle2 has two options for tenting, a 15-degree variant ($40 on Amazon) and a 90-degree variant ($200 on Amazon). I use the 15-degree variant and think it is perfectly fine, but the 90-degree is a solid option if you prefer a vertical keyboard. I don't have any experience with the 90-degree version and can't speak on how sturdy it is. The main differences between the Freestyle Edge and the Freestyle 2 are the switches and backlight. The Freestyle2 is a membrane keyboard with no backlight and it honestly doesn't need either. The key presses are soft and responsive, but they aren't customizable. I have been using this keyboard regularly for two years and haven't seen any visible signs of wear and tear. Unfortunately, Kinesis doesn't offer keycap replacements keycaps or mac conversions for this keyboard. The Freestyle2 also comes with a few preprogrammed macro keys for productivity. I haven't found too much use for these with my workflow. I used to use a cheap flat keyboard for work that left my hands useless by the end of my shift. There were days when I couldn't finish my work because the pain would be unbearable. Since making the switch to the Freestyle2, I haven't had any issues with pain in my hands and wrists. I recommend taking regular breaks and looking into stretches for added comfort. My only other complaint about this keyboard is that there is no number keypad. I don't really need one for my workflow, the number line works well enough, but the split design makes using numbers a slower experience. It isn't unmanageable, but people who work with numbers should look into getting a separate keypad. Kinesis offers a Numeric Keypad for those interested. If you are looking to make your setup a bit more ergonomic, consider the Kinesis Freestyle2 Keyboard. This is the perfect option if you don't care about a backlight, customizations, or key switches.

While doing a complete overhaul of my home office recently, one of my top priorities was getting a truly split keyboard. Very specifically, I needed a keyboard I could set very widely apart, as I have broad shoulders, and putting my hands together in front of my stomach to type was absolutely killing my wrists. I always had so much tension in my shoulders and back. But you'll find from a quick Google search, there aren't many obvious options for such a keyboard. The Kinesis Freestyle 2 with the 20" cable was one of the first and only options to come right up. I was pretty skeptical about the Kinesis keyboard series in general, if I'm honest. I just found the cost to be outragious for a membrane keyboard. Particularly, I scoffed at the cost of some of the accessories, like the num pad. But, compared to every other truly split keyboard on the market (the few there are), it was the most affordable choice by far. And after a couple weeks, I have to admit that I was really wrong: this keyboard has been fabulous. I highly recommend getting the keyboard AND the VIP3 accessory with the adjustable risers and wrist rests. To be honest, the VIP3 is not great as a standalone purchase. Only two of the three height options are very stable, and none of the materials seem very premium at first. But it really does complete the keyboard setup for me. The rests and the adjusted angle really make the keyboard very, very comfortable to use. And as I spend most of each day working at my computer, I am repeatedly surprised by how relaxed my upper body feels typing with my arms spread out. It's exactly what I had hoped for. I am actually typing this on a regualr Lenovo keyboard at my work office (as opposed to my home office - we have a hybrid schedule) and the differene is so pronounced. My wrists are really missing the Freestyle 2. I've been typing for less than an hour and my wrist already hurts. I encounter no such pain on the Freestyle 2 at home. A few extra notes: - The features are great. The additional keys for copy/cut/paste and more on the left side are really handy. And the numerous alternate functions (labeled in blue and toggled with a single key on the left side) are really helpful. In fact, I was planning on getting an additional num pad, but using the alternate function, there is a really serviceable num pad built into the Freestyle 2. I find it more than sufficient for my needs. - I find myself really grateful for the open space directly in front of me, between the two halves of the keyboard. I am using it all the time, for my notebook, for a drink (caution advised), for a project I'm tinkering with. It adds a whole degree of convenient usability to my desk. - The keyboard actually has some heft to it. It's not incredibly premium or anything, but it's definitely got a sturdy quality that instills confidence in its lifespan. - I really wish the connector cable wasn't built-in. It would be really nice if I could replace that cable myself. For one, it would be much more customizable, in terms of length and looks. But I have a feeling that cable is one of the most vulnerable parts on the keyboard to failure. I could prolong the lifetime of the device if I could change out the cable. But, at least the included built-in cable seems pretty robust. It's a chonker for sure. In conclusion, if you have broad shoulders/chest and are frequently uncomfortable typing at normal keyboards, and if you are able to afford it, the Kinesis Freestyle 2 is a really good purchase. It has really improved my desk experience. Your wrists and back will thank you. Read more

This was my first split-design keyboard so it took some time to get used to it. I decided to get this one in an attempt to provide some relief to my upper back stiffness and pain. I am a software engineer that works from home, so my keyboards are heavily used. Even though, my keyboards last for years and usually I get new ones just because I get tired of them and want a new look. Not the case with this keyboard. As reported by other users, with a little bit over an year of use, the keyboard started to present some issues like keys not responding or keys typing multiple times in a single press. It is one of the most expensive keyboards I had and definitely the one that lasted the least. I give it 2 starts because it helped me easy upper back pain tension but in my opinion, this product is not worth the price. Read more

Ordered this, made sure it was PC and US layout version. Received a "for PC" labeled box, with a "PC US BLK" sticker, PC version instructions but a "for MAC" version in the lettering on the Keyboard, also with MAC keys. Thinking it was a mistake I ordered a second one before returning the first one just to make sure I wouldn't receive the same one. Once order was confirmed, I returned the first one explaining in the comments that I received the wrong keyboard inside the correct box. Return was promptly accepted. I have now received the second order and got exactly the same thing... I confirmed that the keyboards had different serial numbers so it seems it might be on purpose or there is no quality check.
