Kinesis Freestyle 2 Ergonomic Split USB Keyboard, QWERTZ Layout, Black

Typing all day on a standard keyboard can strain your wrists, forearms, and shoulders, leading to discomfort and reduced productivity. The Kinesis Freestyle 2 solves this by separating the keyboard into two independent modules that can be positioned up to 9 inches apart, allowing your hands to rest at shoulder width and your wrists to stay straight. With a familiar QWERTZ layout, low-force membrane keys, and dedicated hot keys, it delivers ergonomic comfort without sacrificing efficiency.

Who is it for

Professionals who spend long hours typing—writers, programmers, data entry specialists, and office workers—will benefit from the Freestyle 2's adjustable split design. It is also ideal for users with German keyboard requirements, as it features the QWERTZ layout. Anyone seeking to reduce repetitive strain injuries or improve typing posture will appreciate its ergonomic benefits.

Tips

For optimal ergonomics, adjust the split width to match your shoulder width and keep your wrists straight. If you need tenting or tilt, consider the optional VIP3 or V3 accessory kit. The keyboard is plug-and-play, so no drivers are needed—simply connect via USB and start typing. To access multimedia controls, hold the Fn key while pressing the corresponding function key.
