Set Contains: 1 x Keyboard Review: Got the MAC version when clearing ordering the PC version ... twice - Ordered this, made sure it was PC and US layout version. Received a "for PC" labeled box, with a "PC US BLK" sticker, PC version instructions but a "for MAC" version in the lettering on the Keyboard, also with MAC keys. Thinking it was a mistake I ordered a second one before returning the first one just to make sure I wouldn't receive the same one. Once order was confirmed, I returned the first one explaining in the comments that I received the wrong keyboard inside the correct box. Return was promptly accepted. I have now received the second order and got exactly the same thing... I confirmed that the keyboards had different serial numbers so it seems it might be on purpose or there is no quality check. Review: 重いので、持ち運びには向いていませんが、家で仕事をするには良いと思います。仕事で肘と腕を傷めてしまい、以前から気になっていた分割キーボードを購入しました。 US配列しか無いので、慣れるまで少し不便ですが、ブラインドタッチが出来るのであればすぐに慣れると思います。 指や腕を傷めている場合は極力キーを押す力が軽めの方が負担が無いのですが、少しキーの厚みがあるように感じるので、もう少し薄めの方が良いのですが、押し心地は軽いと思います。 軽度の肩こりとかであればこの商品があれば大分軽減されるのではないかと思います。普通のキーボードのように真ん中にぎゅっと両手を寄せて巻き肩にならなくても作業ができるので、肩と手首は大分楽です。 別売りの附属品も購入しましたが、リストレストは確かにあった方が良い気がしますが、傾斜を付ける部品は人によっては不要かも知れません。傾斜をつけると手首の自然な角度が保たれるので楽な気がしますが、劇的なメリットはそれほど感じられないかも知れません。 ## Features - Dramatically thinner that its predecessor the Freestlye2 still retains the same proven ergonomic benefits and features as it's predecessor. - Ideal for both office and travel use the Freestyle2 can easily be adjusted to meet individual's user requirements. - USB connected ergonomic split keyboard in black.

Not sure I want to may 20 dollars more for 10" of cable..** A: If you are wanting to type with your hands completely straight forward, the 20in is very useful unless you are of small stature. My shoulders are rather broad, and I found that with the smaller cable, I still had to bend my hands inwards slightly to type. With the 20in, I can space the keyboard out far enough that my hands can simply rest on my chair's arms and type. **Q: Does this keyboard have chiclet type keys or the big, regular keys?** A: Dear Furiae, They are regular keys as this is considered a full sized keyboard, even though it has a smaller footprint. **Q: Does this keyboard use USB or bluetooth to connect to computer?** A: The "Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard" uses a USB cable. The very similar "KINESIS Freestyle2 Blue Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard" uses Bluetooth. https://www.amazon.com/Freestyle2-Wireless-Ergonomic-Keyboard-Separation/dp/B00NMVJYEW?ref_=ast_sto_dp **Q: Are these chicklet keys?** A: No, they are regular keyboard keys ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Got the MAC version when clearing ordering the PC version ... twice *by J***G on 16 August 2022* Ordered this, made sure it was PC and US layout version.

I decided to get this one in an attempt to provide some relief to my upper back stiffness and pain. I am a software engineer that works from home, so my keyboards are heavily used. Even though, my keyboards last for years and usually I get new ones just because I get tired of them and want a new look. Not the case with this keyboard. As reported by other users, with a little bit over an year of use, the keyboard started to present some issues like keys not responding or keys typing multiple times in a single press. It is one of the most expensive keyboards I had and definitely the one that lasted the least. I give it 2 starts because it helped me easy upper back pain tension but in my opinion, this product is not worth the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - KINESIS Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard for PC (9" or 20" Separation) (9" Separation) - KINESIS VIP3 Tenting Accessory for Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard (AC820) - KINESIS Freestyle2 Keypad for PC & Mac --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/256474651-kin-fs2-01us-us-layout-new-freestyle2-keyboard](https://www.desertcart.de/products/256474651-kin-fs2-01us-us-layout-new-freestyle2-keyboard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
