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 and splay to achieve natural positions for your hands, wrists, and forearms to reduce static muscle tension and strain. Add the VIP3 accessory for adjustable tenting of 5, 10, or 15 degrees with cushioned palm supports.
Freestyle2 at 10 Degrees of Tenting
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
The Freestyle keyboard family addresses forearm pronation with three different modular tenting accessories designed to work with or without palm supports. Quickly attach the tenting accessory to the bottom of the keyboard to elevate the inner edge of the key module. Tenting lets you type with your forearms in a more neutral and comfortable position.

Kinesis Corporation- The leaders in computer ergonomics since 1992
Kinesis Corporation was founded in 1991 with the objective of developing the first computer keyboard optimized for comfort and productivity. After extensive research, the first Kinesis contoured keyboard, the Model 100, was launched commercially in 1992. The success of the Kinesis contoured keyboard in solving intractable RSI problems has been remarkable and unprecedented.
REDUCE FOREARM STRAIN FOR MAXIMUM ERGONOMICS: Conventional flat keyboards force you type with your palms facing down. This harmful posture puts pressure on the forearm muscles and tissues which reduces blood circulation and can lead to fatigue and repetitive strain injuries (“RSI”) like carpal tunnel syndrome. Attach the VIP3 accessory to your Freestyle2 keyboard to elevate your thumbs for a significantly more comfortable and healthier typing position.
INTEGRATED PALM SUPPORTS WITH CUSHIONED PALM PADS: The VIP3 tenting accessory is designed for those typists who prefer the additional support of the padded palm rests. Choose the V3 model for tenting without Palm Supports
THREE ADJUSTABLE HEIGHTS TO CHOOSE FROM: Ergonomics is all about finding the right configuration for your body type and workstation. The VIP3 kit lets you choose from 5, 10, and 15 degree tenting heights for maximum comfort and easy reproducibility.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX: Left and Right v-Lifters, Left and Right Palm Supports, Left and Right Adhesive Palm Pads. KEYBOARD NOT INCLUDED.
COMPATIBLE WITH ALL FREESTYLE2 MODEL KEYBOARDS: The VIP3 (AC820) is compatible with all KB800 series keyboards from Kinesis. Not compatible with Freestyle Pro, or Freestyle Edge which have their own corresponding tenting accessories.
