Excellent ergonomics, much cheaper than doctor appointments
I type all day, every day. I got repetitive stress injury in my wrists from bad typing posture on a godawful generic keyboard.Then I got a Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard (the 2012-3 model), which ultimately traded one injury for another: my wrist RSI went away, but in exchange I got RSI in my thumb from the VERY stiff spacebar of the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard. (Over the course of 2 years, I probably pressed that spacebar a million times. Once per word....)Microsoft's keyboard is a lot cheaper, until I add the cost of the doctor's appointment plus a thumb brace I had to wear for a while. (Could've been worse if I'd have kept using it...stiff keys on an ergonomic keyboard is a BIZARRE design decision, Microsoft. I hope their latest model is softer.)Anyway, the Freestyle's keys are much softer, my thumb RSI went away. That alone was worth the price.It's much better for my wrists than Microsoft's was too, because it's so adjustable. It's a lot smarter (and cheaper) to be able to adjust your keyboard's width, height, etc, than adjusting the dimensions of the furniture around you! (The height of your office chair elbow rests, the spacing of your elbow rests, the height of your desk....)I tend to use it widely spread apart, so it's the same width as my shoulders, and my arms are straight. But I also change it from time to time, just based on whatever's comfortable in the moment, and I suspect that's ergonomically helpful, being able to adjust positions all the time. This keyboard never locks you in any one position.Been using it over a year now, no problems at all. Just plug it in and it works.

Stable, sturdy, and perfect fit for Freestyle 2 split keyboard.
Sturdy and well designed. Anyone who has the Freestyle 2 should get this to enhance the ergonomics and create an awesomely stable setup for typing. Highly recommend. all the stars.

An essential addition to the kinesys freestyle2 keyboard.
The quality of the plastic moulding is excellent. The precision of the fitment is the best I've seen - think LEGO. There are three tilt positions and personal preference will determine which is best for you. I had it on the highest (to relieve excessive pronation) for a while but lately I've changed desks and seating arrangements so am trying the 'flatter' setting . You cannot lock the lifters into position so if you bump the keyboard hard enough the legs will fold into a lower position - doesn't every keyboard do that? If you tend to adjust your keyboard position a lot you have to remember to lift the whole keyboard and put it down you can't just shove it across the table in its highest position or the legs will fold. That's because the rubber feet on those legs are quite tacky which ensures the keyboard stays exactly where it is while typing. The wrist wrests work well and support the weight of my manly wrists perfectly. They come with a stick on gel strip so that overall the wrist is in a good neutral position. if you're looking for a lot of elevation from the wrist wrest then you will need to tilt the whole keyboard, eg using an articulated pull out keyboard tray for example.

Worth the addition
Wrists pads are comfier than they look out the box. tenting is easy to install and change angles. not 5 stars because it’s a bit overpriced and should come with the keyboard

Pricy but worth it
If you have the keyboard this is a must. It makes it considerably more comfortable to use. I did not add the cushions though as they would just get dirty with time.

Perfect for adjusting Height
These were challenging to install, but installation was successful. They are great to adjust the height of the keyboard. Perfect wrist rest. Great addition to make the keyboard more user friendly and flexible.

It is actually worth the money
I know the kit seems expensive and I didn't want to buy it at first, but my wife convinced me. After trying it, I have to admit she was right. Tilting the keyboard makes all the difference and now my wrists don't hurt even when I use the keyboard for work for hours at a time. My wrists were hurting or my fingertips were going numb before. It made a huge difference and was well worth the money.

Seems Cheap AF. We’ll See…
I just purchased these for the Bluetooth Mac Freestyle2 because all the reviews recommend getting them asap.The base of the pads is nice, sturdy plastic to match that of a keyboard. It’s the pads! The pads seem so cheap and thin. They come with paper backing and you stick them onto the plastic base. The stickiness doesn’t seem like it will hold up over time. But the major pain point I have is that one of the pads I received has what looks like tape or some other plastic stuck to the corner, blocking the sticky side. So, the corner will probably peel up and this pad will be useless. We’ll see! I will update this review in a few months, if possible.The tenting accessory is really nice and well built. The angle options are great for neutral positioning or others based on injuries and comfort.
