Picture of Kinesis Freestyle Ascent AccessoryTwo New Freestyle Accessories by Kinesis - Ascent and V3 - Launched and now available in Canada!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to be launching the new Ascent and V3 accessories for the popular Kinesis Freestyle Solo separated keyboard. The addition of these accessories ensure that the Freestyle offers the widest range of possible configurations to meet all potential requirements.

The new Freestyle Ascent accessory kit (pictured at right) provides two multi-angle tenting modules which attach to the underside of the keying modules, plus a linking plate which may be used to connect the two keying modules if desired. Tenting angles may be independently set for each keying module in the range of 20° to 90°, in 10° increments. Left/right separation is limited only by the length of the keyboard's linking cable. The standard 8" separation is adequate for most users, but the 20" linking cable is recommended for greater flexibility.

The Freestyle V3 accessory (pictured at left) attaches easily to the base of the Freestyle Solo allowing quick and reproducible slope settings of 5°, 10° and 15° without the use of integrated palm supports. Features of this accessory include:

  • Left and Right V3 V-Lifters: the V3 V-lifter quickly and easily alternates the slope of the keyboard from 5°, 10° & 15°.
  • Unlike the VIP the V3 does not require the installation of palm supports prior to use making it ideal for use with central pointing devices such as the Roller Mouse Pro.
  • Use with or without the pivot/tether. The pivot tether connects the two keying modules of the Freestyle Solo keyboard together. Disconnect the pivot tether if greater separation is required.
  • Provides a highly stable typing platform with no 'bounce'.

For more information on the Ascent and V3 accessories for the Kinesis Freestyle Solo separated keyboard, see the Keyboards - Adjustable Category in our → Online Catalog.

It can be pulled forward over the keyboard to allow document editing or note-taking, thus increasing efficiency and reducing the need for reaching or twisting. The inclined surface also creates the correct angle for reading your documents. A storage space for pens and other supplies is built in under the writing surface.

Ergotech's DMS 500 System was created with the idea of ease of installation, expandability and adaptability. All of the DMS 500 models can be installed to any type of slatwall or flush mount using Ergotech's unique ratchet clamp bracket, which requires no tools. Ergotech's multi mount solutions are deployed in Financial trading, Command and Control, Security and Medical applications.

This unique product series allows blocks of information to move in and out and up and down on a single plane without alignment issues which affect independently adjustable multi-monitor configurations. Once the mounting bracket is in place, the monitors are simply snapped on to the horizontal adjustment bar using the "In-A-Snap" Quick Release mechanism. The Dual Mount System, Model 500-02 can hold one to two monitors. The dual unit may be expanded to hold three or four monitors by adding adjustable parabolic wings. The monitor cables are fed through the Cable Management System on the unit creating a clean, functional and expandable monitor system.

RollerMouse Bundle Promotion

Picture of RollerMouse PRO  with A Style Keyboard

The RollerMouse Pro is a unique and highly effective ergonomic pointing device that helps prevent strain and tension of upper extremity muscles including shoulders and elbows. It is a remarkable way to control the cursor without the need to grip or reach for a mouse, and requires minimal space.

Keyboards with a conventional rectangular design tend to work best with the RollerMouse product, and we have two options which offer unique features. The "A" Style keyboard (KBS720UB or KBS720B) offers an ultra thin design that's the correct height for integration with the RollerMouse PRO. Another benefit is the unique 'A' shape of the keys which promotes improved ergonomic positioning.

The Zeomi ZTab Keyboard in white features a triple-width TAB key under the cursor arrows, making one handed numerical data input a breeze. It partners nicely with the Classic RollerMouse (the first generation model) in white.

The normal price of the KBS720B is $20.00, and the price of the RollerMouse PRO is $210.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $220.00, a savings of $10.00 off the regular price!

The normal price of the KBS720UB is $25.00, and the price of the RollerMouse PRO is $210.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $225.00, a savings of $10.00 off the regular price!

The normal price of the Zeomi ZTab Keyboard is $55.00, and the price of the RollerMouse Classic is $205.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $225.00, a savings of $35.00 off the regular price!
