KINESIS USB Freestyle2 Keyboard for Mac (20" Extended Separation)

Not sure why they decided to break with the standard layout and put a set of keys on the left side of the keyboard. If you touch type you will keep accidentally hitting these keys. My solution was to cut out and gaffer-tape a piece of card over them. Not very elegant and after two years of having to re-tape the card I am now searching for another brand- A split keyboard that sticks to a standard layout. If you need to look at the keys when you type you might find these extraneous keys useful.

A bit of a learning curve as the B is the on the opposite side I used to use, but other than that being able to spread and fan the two halves of the keyboard into an ergonomic position has saved me from a lot of wrist pain.

It's a good keyboard, but there are dozens of different versions and mine didn't include the tenting parts. At this price not including them is absolutely ridiculous for a plastic keyboard who's only special feature is the split and no tenting.

四十肩になり、分離型キーボードを探してました。 強めにタイピングする方だと思いますが、キーが軽く、音も静音だと思いました。 肩が楽になった！

設定も簡単ですぐに使い始めることができました。体への負担が軽くなり、概ね良好です。難点は、数字もブラインドタッチなので６が右側にあってくれるとよかったのですが…。

The Kinesis Freestyle2... Pros: The 20" split is wonderful for sitting at a desk. You can put the laptop in the middle, and connect up the keyboard at shoulder widths. I never would have thought shoulder-width typing would be as comfortable as it is! Key action is really quiet for office work, but not super mushy. They just do a good job of connecting the rubber membrane to the plastic keys, so it doesn't make noise when you type, yet still feels like a decent typing surface. Cons: Some of the UI buttons are out-of-date and don't work. A few of the non-typing keys are in weird places, like the escape & delete keys. A 10-key would be really nice. I had to tape a separate 10 key pad to the right side. Having a bar for cut / copy / paste / etc is nice, but a 10 key would have been much better. Even longer than 20" would be better, for cable management purposes. As much as the Kinesis has some cons, the pros are really nice. The typing action is decent and really quiet, the split feeling is amazing, and in general it's just a joy to type on. Now, I did immediately turn around and pick up a V3 kit for the additional comfort of the tilt. And there are a few clear ways to make it better (full wireless, including the center wire? Updated or remappable function keys? A 10 key?). But until those future updates happen, this clearly will be my favorite keyboard.
