Kinesis Corporation has combined the advanced versatility of their Freestyle2 Keyboard with features and functions expected by Mac users in this high performance Mac-focused model. The Freestyle2 for Mac is an adjustable, separated keyboard offering considerable ergonomic benefits. The Freestyle2 is divided into two separate modules connected by either a 9" (the most common) or 20" cable. This separation enables individuals to position the left and right sides of the keyboard shoulder width apart, allowing 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.

The compact symmetrical layout is achieved by removing the numeric keypad found on the right side of most keyboards. This reduces the reach for the mouse for right-handed individuals and optimizes the workspace for everyone. The Freestyle2 Keyboard provides access to numbers along the top row or if needed an external numeric keypad can be added. (Please see the Numeric Keypads category for external numeric keypads that are compatible with the Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac.)

The Freestyle2 Keyboard features low-force, tactile membrane keyswitches. At only 45 grams, this is at least 25% less force than most traditional and even many other ergonomic keyboards. Rated at 10 million actuations, the keyswitches on the Freestyle2 will provide years of quiet, comfortable typing. As an added convenience for Mac users, the Mac version of the Freestyle2 is equipped with a dual USB hub to expand connection options for low-power peripherals such as mice, flash drives, or an external numeric keypad.

Note: The Freestyle2 Keyboard comes with a component that secures the two modules together at a pivot point. Although this Pivot Tether is intended primarily to secure the two modules during transport, it can be used, to create a splayed (i.e. joined at the centre top) keyboard. However, this configuration will significantly limit the ergonomic benefits.

The Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac can also be further customized with one or more Accessory Kits. (Note: Accessory Kits sold separately. See Detailed Specifications for more information.) With the addition of the appropriate Accessory Kit, this already highly configurable keyboard can be customized to provide even more ergonomic benefits.

Kinesis Corporation a combiné la versatilité avancée de son clavier Freestyle2 avec les caractéristiques et fonctions attendues par les utilisateurs de Mac dans ce modèle haute performance de Mac. Le Freestyle2 for Mac est un clavier ajustable et séparé offrant des avantages ergonomiques considérables. Le Freestyle2 est divisé en deux modules séparés reliés par un câble de 9po (le plus commun) ou de 20po. Cette séparation permet a l`utilisateur de positionner les côtés gauche et droit du clavier à une distance égale à la largeur des épaules, ce qui permet aux épaules, aux coudes, aux bras et aux poignets d`être relax dans une position anatomiquement neutre. Cela améliore considérablement la posture et la circulation sanguine dans le haut du corps, empêche une rotation indésirable au niveau des épaules et élimine la déviation ulnaire dans les poignet.

La disposition symétrique et compacte est obtenue en enlevant le pavé numérique qui se trouve sur le côté droit de la plupart des claviers. Cela permet de réduire la distance nécessaire pour faire la souris pour les droitiers et d`optimiser l`espace de travail pour tous. Le Freestyle2 Keyboard permet d`accéder aux chiffres de la rangée en haut ou, si nécessaire, d`ajouter un pavé numérique externe. (Voir la catégorie des Pavé Numeriques pour les pavé numériques externes qui sont compatible avec le clavier Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac.)

Une caractéristique du clavier Freestyle2 Keyboard est des interrupteurs de type membrane sensible avec clic audible tranquille. A seulement 45 gramms, cela est au moins 25% de force moin que sur les claviers standard et même beaucoup de claviers ergonomiques. Évalué à 10 millions activations, les interrupteurs sur le clavier Freestyle2 vont pouvoir offrire des années de dactylo plus agréable et tranquille. Pour le confort des utilisateurs de Mac, la version Mac du Freestyle2 est équipée d`un double hub USB qui permet d`étendre les possibilités de connexion à des périphériques à faible consommation tels que des souris, des clés USB ou un pavé numérique externe.

Veuillez noter: Le Freestyle2 Keyboard vient avec un accessoire pivot qui sécure les deux moitiés du clavier ensemble. L`accessoire est crée principalement pour sécure les deux moitiés du clavier ensemble durant le transport. Il peut être utilisé, si désiré, pour créer un clavier ébrasé (relier en haut du clavier, au centre), cependant limitera considérablement les avantages ergonomiques.

Le Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac peut également être personnalisé avec un ou plusieurs Accessory Kits. (Veuillez noter: les Accessory Kits sont vendus séparément. Voir le Detailed Specifications pour plus d`information.). En ajoutant un Accessory Kit approprié, ce clavier déjà hautement configurable peut être personnalisé pour offrir encore plus d`avantages ergonomiques.

The Super Mini Wireless Trackball Keyboard from Solidtek features keycaps with a horizontal spacing of just 15 mm, approximately 78% of the normal. The keycaps are also shallower in height, resulting in the rows being spaced just 14 mm apart, approximately 73% of normal. This reduced spacing makes the keyboard not only narrower but also shallower (front to back). The fully-functioning membrane keys have a shorter-than-average travel and include a scissors mechanism that enhances the smoothness and stability of keyswitches. Despite including the smallest "physically functioning" keyboard available, it also includes both an embedded numeric keypad to offer full 101 key functionality. The Shift, Enter, Space Bar, Caps Lock, Tab, and all bottom and top row keys are all significantly smaller than on a standard keyboard.

The reduced key spacing and small size of the key caps make the Super Mini Wireless Trackball Keyboard primarily suitable for everyday two-handed use by children or those with smaller-than-average hands. For one-handed typing by those with average to smaller hands the compact width can reduce the movement necessary to access all of the keys and the convenience of an integrated mousing device will provide fully computer access in a compact 11.5" width. However those with larger finger tips will still have difficulty activating just a single key and would be better served by a compact keyboard with full-size keycaps and standard key spacing.

Although not ideal for daily use by many individuals the portability of this keyboard does make it suitable for short term use with portable devices. It can be powered the included USB cable, alkaline batteries, or rechargeable batteries.

NOTE: If the mini-USB cable is being used to power the keyboard, DO NOT USE the alkaline batteries at the same time, as the keyboard will ATTEMPT TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES. Use rechargeable batteries instead or uninstall the alkaline batteries during corded use.

With a width of just 11.2", the R-Go Compact Keyboard is suited for both left- and right-handed typists who wish to keep their mouse close at hand. The compact dimensions are achieved by eliminating the dedicated numeric keypad and clustering the navigation keys in closer on the right-hand side. Numeric entry is still possible through either the upper-rank numeric keys or by using the embedded numeric keypad that is integrated into the right half of the keyboard as an alternative to the missing discrete numeric keypad. The minimal footprint will work on any desk or keyboard tray.

The chiclet-style keycaps feature standard spacing with the low-travel scissor switch mechanisms offering a feel and function very similar to that of laptop keyboards. The R-Go Compact Keyboard features a slight positive incline, rising from just 0.25" at the front to 0.6" at the rear. The compact dimensions also make this keyboard easily portable and well-suited to improve ergonomics when working on a laptop.

This wired keyboard is compatible with Windows and Linux.

Le R-Go Compact Keyboard est conçu pour réduire la distance de s`étirer pour atteindre la souris en la gardant dans la zone de confort de l'utilisateur. Un pavé numérique intégré est également inclus avec ce clavier afin que l`utilisateur puisse facilement accéder aux touches numériques selon une disposition similaire à celle d'un pavé numérique discret. Les touches chiclet ont la même taille, sensation et fonction d'un clavier d`ordinateur portable, tandis que son profil mince rend ce clavier facilement portable entre différents lieux de travail.

Ce clavier est seulement disponible en couleur noir, et avec fil. Il est compatible avec Windows et Linux.

The Compact Keyboard with Trackball from Solidtek is an 89 key mini-keyboard with a small (0.8 cm diameter) built-in optical trackball and buttons. All alpha-numeric keys are standard size; the rest are smaller than normal, including the Enter, Shift, and Space keys. There is also an embedded numeric keypad (legended in blue) instead of a discrete numeric keypad.

The UltraBoard 950 compact keyboard from Bakker Elkhuizen reduces the reach to the mouse by repositioning the navigation keys and removing the numeric keypad. The result is a keyboard with a width of just 11.22". This compact design reduces the distance the right hand must move when switching between keyboard and mouse usage by at least 6" (when compared to a standard full-size keyboard). In doing so it reduces the potential for associated shoulder issues that can arise from repetitive overreaching.

The UltraBoard 950 also features a low profile with a maximum height of just 0.75" to reduce the potential for wrist extension. The scissor-stabilized switches are topped with slightly concave keycaps to help guide the fingers to the optimal keying position. The light colour keycaps are matte finish to reduce glare and are printed with high contrast darker colours to optimize viewing under all lighting conditions. Convenient dual USB-A ports are located on the left and right of the keyboard housing for connection of a mouse, USB stick, etc. The compact dimensions and low weight of the UltraBoard 950 make it very suitable for mobile computing.

If numeric entry is required the UltraBoard 950 does include an "embedded" numeric keypad or it can also be easily accessorized with the matching Ultraboard 955 Numeric Keypad or the S-Board 840 Design Numeric Keypad and Calculator. Both of these convenient accessories can be positioned wherever most convenient. Those who want to reduce their reach but prefer to still have an attached numeric keypad may wish to consider the UltraBoard 960 Compact Standard keyboard.

The Silicone Industrial Waterproof Compact Keyboard from Solidtek features a "slightly compact" layout with 17 mm key pitch spacing and large oversized legends. The result is an overall keyboard width of just 10.75". The Function Keys are just a 10 mm keycap but do offer access to media controls, email, and calculator as well as other commands. The "soft touch" rubberized surface is easy on the fingers and also keeps the keyboard firmly positioned. Numeric entry is accommodated by the embedded numeric keypad.

This keyboard from Solidtek is designed for use in wet or dirty environments that would quickly render traditional keyboards inoperable or greatly shorten their life expectancy. It is fully enclosed in silicone and meets IP68 standards for protection from dust and moisture. Potential applications might include manufacturing equipment data input, medical or dental environments in which equipment must be sterilized, and any location where data entry is necessary but where moisture or dirt are prevalent. Key activation provides distinct tactile feedback that may be necessary where gloves might hide more subtle response.

The small footprint means that this keyboard can be deployed where space would not accommodate a full-size keyboard, while still providing full functionality. The slightly compact key pitch will still work for most individuals but the closer spacing needs to be considered when determining the suitability. Keying accuracy can be ensured if a two-fingered typing style that eliminates the chance of overshooting the targeted keys is adopted. For these reasons this keyboard is more suitable for short bursts of data or numeric entry than for periods of extended typing, exactly the type of use that is required in keyboard unfriendly environments.

The Freestyle2 Blue Keyboard combines the full range of ergonomic benefits offered by one of the most versatile keyboard designs currently manufactured with convenient multi-channel Bluetooth functionality. The Freestyle2 Blue Keyboard is divided into two separate modules connected by a 9" cable. This separation enables individuals to position the left and right sides of the keyboard shoulder width apart, allowing the shoulders, elbows, arms and wrists to relax in an anatomically neutral position (with full separation the distance between index finger to index finger on the home row is approximately 11.5"). This greatly improves posture and blood flow in the upper body, prevents undesirable rotation at the shoulders, and eliminates ulnar deviation at the wrist.

The compact symmetrical layout is achieved by removing the numeric keypad found on the right side of most keyboards. This reduces the reach for the mouse for right-handed individuals and optimizes the workspace for everyone. Of course, access to numbers is retained via the top row.
Note: Unlike the wired Freestyle2 for PC, the Freestyle2 Blue does not include an embedded numeric keypad.

The Freestyle2 Blue features low-force, tactile membrane keyswitches. At only 45 grams, this is at least 25% less force than most traditional and even many other ergonomic keyboards. Rated at 10 million actuations, the keyswitches on the Freestyle2 will provide years of quiet, comfortable typing.

Note: The Freestyle2 Blue ships with a Pivot Tether that secures the two modules together at a pivot point. Although intended primarily to secure the two modules during transport, it can be used to create a splayed (i.e. joined at the centre top) keyboard. However, this configuration will significantly limit the ergonomic benefits.

The Freestyle2 Blue Multichannel Bluetooth Keyboard can also be further customized with one or more Accessory Kits. (Note: Accessory Kits sold separately. See Detailed Specifications for more information.) With the addition of the appropriate Accessory Kit, this already highly configurable keyboard can be customized to provide even more ergonomic benefits.

The Goldtouch Go!2 Mobile Keyboard strikes a balance between the opposing demands of ergonomics and portability. Like the Goldtouch desktop keyboards, (GTN-0099, GTU-0088, GTN99-FC), the Go!2 Mobile Keyboard can be splayed to reduce ulnar deviation; tented to reduce pronation; or both tented and splayed. Weighing only 1.1 lbs, and only 13.5" wide when in use, the keyboard is easily folded in half for compact storage and transport. Quiet, full-sized, low-travel scissor-switch membrane keys are legended for both PC and Mac operating systems. While the surface of the keyboard is flat, the housing of the Goldtouch Go!2 Mobile Keyboard has a slight positive incline when the keyboard is not tented.

The Goldtouch Go!2 Mobile Keyboard is available in both wired and Bluetooth models. The Wired model (GTP-0044) offers Secondary Function access to an embedded numeric keypad for those using a Windows OS and multimedia controls in both Windows and Mac OS. The Bluetooth model (GTP-0044W) do NOT have an embedded numeric keypad. Both models offer several other functions in Windows OS (see the User Manual.)


Warning: Do Not Plug your USB Goldtouch Keyboard into the Goldtouch Numeric Keypad. Your PC will not recognize the device. The keyboard should be plugged directly in the computer or a USB hub.

The Wireless Ergonomic Mini Trackball Keyboard from Adesso has a tenkeyless layout and features a fixed split design with integrated cursor control and clicking. The compact width of just 13.8" and incorporated cursor control reduce the risk of overreach not uncommon with full-width keyboards. This keyboard employs moderate resistance tactile membrane keyswitches to provide feedback while typing and the centrally-positioned 0.875" diameter trackball provides smooth and accurate cursor control while eliminating the need for extended reach to the mouse on the right or left. Vertical scrolling is provided by a scroll wheel positioned just above the trackball and between the left and right space bars. All of the alpha-numeric keys are standard size, unlike many similar keyboards that have wider keys to create a more symmetrical appearance. This means that a consistent target is present for the fingers on all keys. The Function row of keys are half-height, to help reduce the depth of the keyboard footprint. The keycap legends are twice the size of standard legending, making this suitable where higher visibility is required.

While the keyboard does offer a split layout, the separation in the middle is quite limited when compared to other split keyboards, even earlier models from Adesso. The minimal separation limits the benefit that the split could otherwise provide. The splay angle is also less than most other fixed-splay keyboards, only around 24°. The minimal separation and the reduced splay will result in some degree of wrist deviation for all except those of very slender build.

The Wireless Ergonomic Mini Trackball Keyboard includes an integrated sloping palm support. Composed of hard plastic that is fairly slippery, this can result in the hands slipping back off the keyboard. The shallow depth of the supports will most likely exacerbate this, so only those with the smallest of hands will actually be able to benefit from the proffered support. Both left and right Space Bar keys lack stabilization which leads to a variance in activation feel over the width of the spacebar.

The left and right alpha-numeric key groupings also feature slightly differing angles and keycap elevation. The left has both a slightly steeper angle and greater keycap elevation from row to row than the right key group. While the variance is not pronounced there may be those who find it significant enough to affect their positional proprioception.

At last, the TypeMatrix alternative layout compact keyboard is available in native USB! This latest offering retains the features which this line has been known for including an innovative orthogonal layout and crisp scissor-switch membrane keyswitches in a minimalist housing (12.75" W x 5.25" D x 0.5" H [32.4 cm W x 13.3 cm D x 1.3 cm H]), allowing for easy storage and transport as an external keyboard for your laptop.

This newest version of the 2030 TypeMatrix keyboard has a redesigned layout for both the QWERTY and DVORAK models, and now also comes in a BLANK unlegended model. Unlegended keyboard skins are available for the QWERTY/DVORAK models (to protect the keyboard from debris and spills), and QWERTY and DVORAK legended skins are available for the unlegended keyboard model. Now there is more customizability for the TypeMatrix users than ever before!
