Kinesis Freestyle2 Blue Ergonomic Keyboard

If your computer is not Bluetooth equipped you will need to add the Bluetooth adapter option, which connects to a USB port.
Kinesis Freestyle2 Blue Ergonomic Keyboard
Add numeric keypad
The Kinesis Freestyle2 Numeric Keypad is a great complement to your Kinesis Freestyle2 Adjustable Split Keyboard. This keypad has the same low-force keys and slim design as the keyboard, and can be placed on the left or right of your work area to keep you in your neutral reach zone. It features embedded hot keys and two USB ports for added speed and convenience. Be advised: the numeric keypad is not wireless, and will connect to your wireless keyboard using a USB cable.
Jar Opener
Don't let a jar of pickles, olives, or your grandmother's jam cause pain or injury. Trying to open a stubborn jar requires high hand forces which lead to unnecessary strain. A jar opener decreases the grip strength necessary to open the often-stuck jar. Keep your hands safe with an UPLIFT jar opener, free with your purchase.

Wrist Saver
Owned: 2 years. Usage: at least 5 hours 4-5 days/wk. Also purchased: Freestyle2 VIP3 Accessory Comments: Connects easily to 3 different devices at one time and moves seamlessly through the 3 channels. Keys are very responsive and have a perfect feel when tapped. I keep the two boards about 1" apart. Doesn't seem like a lot, but it was exactly what I needed. VIP3 accessory was a must. I use at the lowest level. The rest is perfect for my wrists. I am a legal nurse consultant. I work 5-10 hours at a stretch. I was having extreme wrist/shoulder/neck pain prior to obtaining this keyboard. I would not have been able to continue without this keyboard. Additional aids: I use a lapboard with keyboard and mouse on the lapboard, keeping my shoulders, elbows, and wrists in the neutral position. Also use a vertical mouse, perixx permice-715 and have an LG ultrawide screen set to keep neck in neutral position. With these 4 aids, I experience only mild wrist/shoulder/neck pain after typing for 5-10 hours at a time.
This product comes standard with a 2-year limited warranty.
