Kinesis Corporation has combined the advanced versatility of their Freestyle2 Keyboard with features and functions expected by Mac users in this high performance Mac-focused model. The Freestyle2 for Mac is an adjustable, separated keyboard offering considerable ergonomic benefits. The Freestyle2 is divided into two separate modules connected by either a 9" (the most common) or 20" cable. This separation enables individuals to position the left and right sides of the keyboard shoulder width apart, allowing the shoulders, elbows, arms and wrists to relax in an anatomically neutral position. This greatly improves posture and blood flow in the upper body, prevents undesirable rotation at the shoulders, and eliminates ulnar deviation at the wrist.

The compact symmetrical layout is achieved by removing the numeric keypad found on the right side of most keyboards. This reduces the reach for the mouse for right-handed individuals and optimizes the workspace for everyone. The Freestyle2 Keyboard provides access to numbers along the top row or if needed an external numeric keypad can be added. (Please see the Numeric Keypads category for external numeric keypads that are compatible with the Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac.)

The Freestyle2 Keyboard features low-force, tactile membrane keyswitches. At only 45 grams, this is at least 25% less force than most traditional and even many other ergonomic keyboards. Rated at 10 million actuations, the keyswitches on the Freestyle2 will provide years of quiet, comfortable typing. As an added convenience for Mac users, the Mac version of the Freestyle2 is equipped with a dual USB hub to expand connection options for low-power peripherals such as mice, flash drives, or an external numeric keypad.

Note: The Freestyle2 Keyboard comes with a component that secures the two modules together at a pivot point. Although this Pivot Tether is intended primarily to secure the two modules during transport, it can be used, to create a splayed (i.e. joined at the centre top) keyboard. However, this configuration will significantly limit the ergonomic benefits.

The Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac can also be further customized with one or more Accessory Kits. (Note: Accessory Kits sold separately. See Detailed Specifications for more information.) With the addition of the appropriate Accessory Kit, this already highly configurable keyboard can be customized to provide even more ergonomic benefits.

Kinesis Corporation a combiné la versatilité avancée de son clavier Freestyle2 avec les caractéristiques et fonctions attendues par les utilisateurs de Mac dans ce modèle haute performance de Mac. Le Freestyle2 for Mac est un clavier ajustable et séparé offrant des avantages ergonomiques considérables. Le Freestyle2 est divisé en deux modules séparés reliés par un câble de 9po (le plus commun) ou de 20po. Cette séparation permet a l`utilisateur de positionner les côtés gauche et droit du clavier à une distance égale à la largeur des épaules, ce qui permet aux épaules, aux coudes, aux bras et aux poignets d`être relax dans une position anatomiquement neutre. Cela améliore considérablement la posture et la circulation sanguine dans le haut du corps, empêche une rotation indésirable au niveau des épaules et élimine la déviation ulnaire dans les poignet.

La disposition symétrique et compacte est obtenue en enlevant le pavé numérique qui se trouve sur le côté droit de la plupart des claviers. Cela permet de réduire la distance nécessaire pour faire la souris pour les droitiers et d`optimiser l`espace de travail pour tous. Le Freestyle2 Keyboard permet d`accéder aux chiffres de la rangée en haut ou, si nécessaire, d`ajouter un pavé numérique externe. (Voir la catégorie des Pavé Numeriques pour les pavé numériques externes qui sont compatible avec le clavier Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac.)

Une caractéristique du clavier Freestyle2 Keyboard est des interrupteurs de type membrane sensible avec clic audible tranquille. A seulement 45 gramms, cela est au moins 25% de force moin que sur les claviers standard et même beaucoup de claviers ergonomiques. Évalué à 10 millions activations, les interrupteurs sur le clavier Freestyle2 vont pouvoir offrire des années de dactylo plus agréable et tranquille. Pour le confort des utilisateurs de Mac, la version Mac du Freestyle2 est équipée d`un double hub USB qui permet d`étendre les possibilités de connexion à des périphériques à faible consommation tels que des souris, des clés USB ou un pavé numérique externe.

Veuillez noter: Le Freestyle2 Keyboard vient avec un accessoire pivot qui sécure les deux moitiés du clavier ensemble. L`accessoire est crée principalement pour sécure les deux moitiés du clavier ensemble durant le transport. Il peut être utilisé, si désiré, pour créer un clavier ébrasé (relier en haut du clavier, au centre), cependant limitera considérablement les avantages ergonomiques.

Le Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac peut également être personnalisé avec un ou plusieurs Accessory Kits. (Veuillez noter: les Accessory Kits sont vendus séparément. Voir le Detailed Specifications pour plus d`information.). En ajoutant un Accessory Kit approprié, ce clavier déjà hautement configurable peut être personnalisé pour offrir encore plus d`avantages ergonomiques.

The Savant Elite2 family of programmable USB foot pedals is available in configurations supporting up to four switches. These switches can be employed to reduce wear on the fingers by offloading repetitive actions such as mouse-clicks or keyboard shortcuts to either one or both feet. Programmed to function as modifier keys (such as Shift, Ctrl, or Alt) the switches can also assist in maximizing productivity by facilitating virtually uninterrupted typing. This is accomplished by transferring activation of the modifier functions to the feet.

Commands are also easily customized to create individualized functionality and the switches can be reprogrammed at any time. Savant Elite2 foot pedals are ideal for intensive keying tasks such as programming, data entry, or word processing where repetitive sequences of characters are entered throughout the day.

The Savant Elite2 Triple Action Foot Pedal is pre-programmed with Left, Double, and Right mouse clicks, enabling transfer of the three most common mouse actions to one or both feet. The standard model features three front-hinged foot pedals secured to a solid steel base. This serves well for those who wish to pivot their foot from the heel for activation of the pedals. The FP30AJ model features an additional input jack that accommodates the connection of another stand-alone foot pedal or other any switch equipped with a 0.125" mini-phono plug. This additional switch can then be positioned adjacent to the primary pedals or placed remotely for access by the other foot (or hand). See our range of switches in the Switches category.

The Freestyle2 Ascent Accessory Kit is a specialized accessory for the Freestyle2 Keyboard. The Freestyle2 Keyboard with Ascent accessory is an option for those who prefer or are unable to pronate (i.e. who cannot hold their hands in a "palms down" position without discomfort or pain). The Ascent Accessory allows the left and right modules of the Freestyle2 Keyboard to be tented independently of each other, in 10° increments from 20° to 90°. This provides a solution for those who require a keyboard tenting angle greater than the 15° offered by the V3 and VIP3 accessories.

Individuals who choose this solution must be touch typists (as they will be unable to see the keys). It is also strongly recommended that the arms be supported while typing to avoid straining the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the shoulders and upper back. Arm support is especially important at higher degrees of elevation, 40° and over.

The Ascent Accessory can be used with Freestyle2 Palm Supports (sold separately) at angles up to 40°. At higher elevations alternative types of arm support become necessary.

While the standard 9" separation will work for those who are using the Ascent at the lesser angles, the 20" separation model of the Freestyle2 is typically recommended for use with the Ascent accessory. The greater cable length offers much greater flexibility in positioning of the modules, especially if greater angles of tenting are desired.

The Ascent Accessory modules can be positioned completely independent of each other for the broadest range of positioning. If increased stability is desired the included width-adjustable linking plate can be utilized. The metal plate adds rigidity as well as increased mass to ensure keyboard stability, even at the greatest angles.
Note: The Ascent Accessory is compatible with the Freestyle Solo, the Freestyle2 Keyboard for PC, and the Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac.
Note: The Ascent Accessory is NOT compatible with the Freestyle2 Blue (Bluetooth) models (KB800PB-BT & KB800MB-BT) due to a metal base in close proximity to the wireless transmitter, or with the Freestyle Pro (KB900-XXX) series.

The Freestyle VIP3 Pro Accessory Kit adds a tenting option of 5°, 10° or 15° with integrated Palm Supports to the Freestyle Pro and Freestyle Edge Mechanical Keyboards. The Palm Supports attach directly to the keyboard and move in tandem as the keyboard is adjusted to the desired tenting angle. This versatile add-on reduces pronation and prevents wrist extension while typing, reducing the risk of fatigue, stiffness and pain in the wrists, forearms and elbows. If desired the VLifters can be removed independently, without removing the Palm Supports. The Freestyle VIP3 Pro Accessory Kit includes one set each of VLifters, Palm Supports, and Palm Pads.
If Palm Supports are not required and only tenting is desired consider the Freestyle V3 Pro Accessory Kit.

Note: The Freestyle VIP3 Pro Accessory Kit is only compatible with the Freestyle Pro and Freestyle Edge mechanical keyboards (KB9XX Series). It is NOT compatible with the Freestyle2 (KB8XX Series) or Freestyle Solo (KB7XX Series) keyboards.
