Product description

The Freestyle2 is the most versatile ergonomic keyboard on the market and is designed to adapt to your body type and preferences to increase your comfort and boost your productivity. Customize the position of the keyboard modules with adjustable split, splay and tenting to achieve natural positions for your hands, wrists, and forearms to reduce static muscle tension and strain.

Adjustable split boosts comfort and productivity for all body types

Adjustable Split

Separate the modules to shoulder-width to keep wrists straight (up to 9 inches).

Adjustable Tenting Included

Tenting enables 5, 10, and 15 degrees to reduce forearm pronation caused by flat keyboards.

Low Profile and Cushioned Palm Supports

Zero-degree slope and integrated palm supports eliminates harmful wrist extension.

Compact Design

Tenkeyless layout results in a smaller footprint for closer mouse placement to reduce over-reach

Flat keyboards cause painful forearm pronation

Pronation in the forearm and wrist occurs when typing with your palms face down towards the worksurface. Sustained pronation puts pressure on the forearm muscles and tissues which reduces blood circulation and can lead to fatigue and repetitive strain injuries (“RSI”).

Research demonstrates that a moderate elevation of the thumb side of the hand dramatically reduces the pressure on the forearm muscles.

What is tenting?

Backed by extensive research and testing

For 7 months the Atlas IPS firm conducted an independent study investigating the impact of the Freestyle keyboard’s unique split design on posture, comfort, and performance with 80 employees at a large U.S. software company.

Findings:

100% were back to full productivity after a brief adaption period 96% preferred the Freestyle over their conventional keyboard 79% experienced a decrease in neck discomfort 50% experienced a decrease in ulnar deviation
