Review on Enhance Comfort and Productivity with KINESIS Freestyle Pro Ergonomic Split Mechanical Keyboard - KB900-brn by Shannon Williams

Getting Freestyle Pro up and running has been quite an adventure. First, I decided to swap out the keycaps, install the layout on the Mac, and get to work. no The first problem is that, unlike on Windows, the 64-bit SmartSet application must be downloaded separately and then explicitly activated. Second, if you get anything even slightly wrong, the Command and Option keys will fold over. Third, the indicator lights are for Windows users, not Mac users - NumLock never lights up properly, and neither does ScrollLock. Fn sets NumLock, which is fine, but why isn't the NumLock indicator lit? And if you're not careful, everything will reset and none of the keyboard macros will work anymore, requiring you to restore the Mac backup layout. It's a hectic, sub-par experience for Mac users. On the plus side, I like the brown cherry keys or whatever they're called. The ergonomics are really good, got better after I bought/installed the lift kit. Overall I'm happy with the purchase, but it took a lot more hacking than I expected.
