Replaced by the improved Freestyle2 Keyboard, the Freestyle Solo led the way in versatility of design and function. The low-profile keyboard was divided into two separate parts or modules, which were connected by an 8 inch cable. This modular design allowed individuals to configure the keyboard in an optimal orientation, either by splaying the modules at any angle or by adjusting the distance between the modules up to 8 inches. Different accessory kits offered additional keyboard configurations, including tenting the modules at set angles of elevation. The standard Freestyle Solo model was equipped with an 8 inch separation cable and was legended in English, but other models were also available, such as one offering a 20" separation cable, or one having a tri-color French Canadian bilingual legended layout.

ACCESSORY KITS

The VIP Accessory Kit for the Freestyle Solo allowed the user to create adjustable lateral sloping or tenting of the keyboard modules at 10° or 15°. Palm supports were included with this kit and installed with the tenting mechanisms. If a tenting mechanism without integrated palm supports was desired the V3 Accessory Kit was available, offering tenting of 5°, 10° and 15°, since it was not possible to use palm supports with the V3.

The more specialized Ascent Accessory Kit provided two multi-angle tenting modules which attached to the underside of the two keying modules. A linking plate could be used to connect the two tenting modules if desired. Tenting angles could be independently set for each tenting module in the range of 20° to 90°, in 10° increments. Left or right separation was limited only by the length of the keyboard's linking cable. The standard 8" separation cable was suitable for low elevations or minimal separation but the 20" linking cable was generally recommended for greater flexibility.

If a discrete numeric keypad was required, the Low Force Tactile Numeric Keypad by Kinesis (AC210USB-BLK), equipped with a built-in USB 2 port hub. was available. For more information see our Keypads category.

This Keyboard is no longer in production.The new Kinesis Evolution fully adjustable ergonomic keyboard offered a unique set of ergonomic features not found in any other computer keyboard.

It was also available in chair-mounted and desktop model. Please consider the Kinesis Freestyle line of keyboards as an alternative.

Up Your Game! with the Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Gaming Keyboard from Kinesis Gaming, now offering Great Looks, High-end Performance, and Advanced Ergonomics.

There is no longer a need to sacrifice performance in pursuit of ergonomics. The Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Gaming Keyboard from Kinesis Gaming integrates proven ergonomics and TenKeyLess design in a premium mechanical keyboard featuring fully addressable RGB lighting and packed with the latest in custom programmability and performance. The result is a keyboard that not only looks great and offers the advanced functionality and high performance that everyone demands but also provides the same ergonomic benefits that tens of thousands have enjoyed for years.

The Freestyle Edge RGB features fully addressable RGB lighting, meaning every single key can be customized. The Freestyle Edge RGB comes with each of the 9 layouts pre-programmed with one of the lighting effects. The SmartSet APP provides customization of individual key colours, speed, direction, and zone to create personalized visual effects. The lighting can even be synced to respond to sound from within a game.

But the Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is more than just kaleidoscopic colours. Based on the proven ergonomic design of the Freestyle2, the Freestyle Edge RGB is an adjustable, separated keyboard that offers significant ergonomic benefits. The Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is divided into two separate modules. The two halves are connected by a linking cable that can be adjusted in length from 12" to 20". This separation allows individuals to position the left and right halves of the keyboard shoulder width apart, permitting 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. For gamers this separation offers the additional advantage of being able to position a mousing device, joystick or other controller centrally located between the keyboard halves. As well, for games that rely primarily on left hand controls the right half can be positioned out of the way to the right and with the left module and mouse or controller being brought in to a more central location.

The Freestyle Edge RGB Keyboard includes detachable cushioned Premium palm supports for those who wish to eliminate wrist extension and reduce the potential for development of painful and debilitating repetitive strain injuries. There are also two "Tenting" accessory options available for the Freestyle Edge RGB Gaming Keyboard. The first is the Lift Kit that attaches to the Keyboard and Palm supports and provides the 5°, 10° and 15° tenting (with the palm supports in place). The second accessory is the Freestyle V3 Pro Accessory Kit that can be used when the palm supports are detached. It attaches directly to the keyboard and offers the same 5°, 10° and 15° degrees of tenting (without palm supports). Tenting reduces the forearm pronation that can also lead to conditions that can make keyboard and mouse use extremely painful.

The symmetrical, compact design (achieved by eliminating the 10-key numeric pad) reduces the reach for the mouse on both the left- and right-hand. Numbers can be generated on the top row of keys. Those who want a stand-alone numeric keyboard have the option of adding either the Mechanical Keypad for PC or the Freestyle2 Keypad for PC and Mac.

The Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is available in four models that each feature different premium Cherry Mechanical keyswitches - Cherry MX Blue, Cherry MX Brown, Cherry MX Red, or Cherry MX SPEED Silver. These premium keyswitches are topped by full height concave laser etched keycaps equipped with RGB backlighting featuring 9 custom lighting modes.

The Freestyle Edge RGB Split Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is packed with power. The 4MB onboard memory can store up to 9 dual-layer fully programmable layouts for instant access to game or program-specific commands. Programming can be done directly to the keyboard or through the the graphical interface of the SmartSet APP (Available for Windows and Mac). The left hand module also features a convenient "Game Bank" of 8 programmable keys that gamers, graphic designers or programmers can all employ for triggering macros and custom key commands. Full NKRO mode and 100% Anti-ghosting design means no lost commands, regardless of how fast and furious the action gets. Macro delays, tap-and-hold actions, mouse clicks, and more can be easily assigned. As for speed, a 1MS response time (1000mhz polling) means that the best player wins - not the best hardware (not that the hardware doesn't matter - might as well have that advantage as well). Media controls are easily accessed via the embedded FN layer that remains available regardless of which custom layout you are currently working with. And it doesn't matter the platform used - the Freestyle Edge RGB will fully function with Windows 7-10, Mac OSX v10.6+, Chrome OS, or Linux. Just one full-size USB port will give any gamer everything they have always wanted - and more.

Attention à tous les joueurs, graphistes et programmeurs! Il n'y a plus besoin de sacrifier la performance à la recherche de l'ergonomie.

Le résultat est un clavier qui offre les fonctionnalités avancées que les utilisateurs de haute performance exigent, tout en offrant les mêmes avantages ergonomiques que des dizaines de milliers d'utilisateurs d`ordinateurs ont aimer pendant des années.

Basé sur la conception ergonomique éprouvé du Freestyle2 et de son prédécesseur, le Freestyle Solo, le Freestyle Edge Gaming Keyboard est un clavier ajustable et séparé offrant des avantages ergonomiques considérables. Le clavier Freestyle Edge Gaming Keyboard est complètement divisé en deux modules. Les deux côtés sont reliés par un câble de liaison ajustable en longeur qui peut être ajusté entre 12po à 20po. Cette séparation permet aux utilisateurs de positionner les côtés gauche et droit du clavier au largeur des épaules, permettant aux épaules, aux coudes, aux bras et aux poignets de se détendre dans une position anatomiquement neutre. Cela améliore grandement la posture et la circulation sanguine dans le haut du corps, empêche une rotation indésirable au niveau des épaules et élimine la déviation ulnaire au niveau du poignet. Pour les joueurs, cette séparation offre l'avantage supplémentaire de pouvoir positionner une souris, un joystick ou un autre contrôleur situé au centre entre les deux moitiés du clavier. Également, pour les jeux qui dépendent principalement sur les commandes de la main gauche, le module droite peut être déplacer pour permettre le module gauche aussi que la souris ou le contrôleur d`être mis dans un endroit plus central.

La conception symétrique et compact (obtenu en éliminant le pavé numérique à dix touches) réduit la distance de s`étirer pour chercher la souris pour les utilisateurs gauchers et droitiers. Le clavier Freestyle Edge Gaming Keyboard permet l'accés aux numéros le long de la rangée supérieure. Les utilisateurs qui veulent un pavé numérique séparer ont la possibilité d'ajouter soit Low Force Tactile Numeric Keypad ou le Freestyle2 Keypad for PC and Mac.

Le clavier Freestyle Edge Gaming Keyboard est disponible en trois modèles; le choix entre les différents interrupteurs de qualité supérieure de Cherry Mécaniques; Cherry MX Bleu, Cherry MX Brun ou Cherry MX Rouge. Les clés sont de pleine hauteur aussi que sculptés (y compris, concave). Ils sont gravés au laser et sont équipés d'un rétroéclairage bleu avec 12 modes d'éclairage personnalisés.

Mais ce n'est qu'un début! Le clavier Freestyle Edge Gaming Keyboard est riche en fonctionnalités puissants. Le moteur de programmation SmartSet prend soutient le remappage vite faite de n'importe quelle clé et de la mémoire de 4 MB intégrer dans le clavier (le v-Drive peut mémoriser jusqu'à 9 configurations à double couche entièrement programmables pour un accès instantané aux commandes spécifiques au jeu ou au programme). Un des caractéristiques de la côté gauche du clavier, une "Banque de Jeux/Game Bank" pratique de 8 touches programmables que les joueurs, graphistes ou programmeurs peuvent utiliser pour activer des macros et des commandes de touches personnalisées. Le mode complete de NKRO et la conception 100% anti-fantôme signifient qu'il n'y a pas de commandes perdues, quelle que soit la vitesse et la furie de l'action. En ce qui concerne la vitesse, un temps de réponse de 1MS (1000mhz polling) signifie que le meilleur joueur(euse) gagne - pas le meilleur matériel (pas que le matériel n'a pas d'importance - pourrait aussi bien avoir cet avantage). Les contrôles de média sont facilement accessibles via la couche FN intégrée qui reste disponible quelle que soit la disposition personnalisée avec laquelle vous travaillez actuellement. Et peu importe la plate-forme utilisée, le Freestyle Edge Gaming Keyboard fonctionnera pleinement avec Windows 7-10, MacOSX v10.6 +, Chrome OS ou Linux.
