Best Keyboard I've Ever Owned

This is the best keyboard I have ever owned. This keyboard doesn't have a fancy backlight or tons of extra keys*; it's "just" a keyboard. Of course, this isn't a cheap keyboard, which made me think twice before making the first purchase (now I have one in the office and one at home). This keyboard is of high quality. What I mean by high quality is that after two years of daily use the keyboard is working perfectly and looks great with almost no signs of wear. What I love most is the ability to…

Great keyboard and exactly what I wanted from my keyboard but the job found it too expensive and forced me to send it back.

Wanted to give positive feedback on this keyboard. Although I had to send it back. I've been using this keyboard for almost a full month and it has performed like a champ and felt great in my hands. The keys were just right, not too crisp to make me feel there but just enough that the presses were crisp and intentional. The angle of the keyboard is great and the keys seem to be right where your hands want them. This keyboard took the strain off my wrist and made typing a pleasure. My keyboard…

Pros
  • LOW-EFFORT SWITCHES: Freestyle2 uses a custom-engineered membrane key switch with low actuation force and tactile feedback to reduce finger fatigue, shock and strain.
Cons
  • No instructions

Very good, but there are issues and could be better

Pros: - Amazing ergonomics - Sturdy and well built - Works pretty well with MacCons: - Right side of the box, L, K, I, P keys didn't work properly. I remembered my old mechanical keyboards. I had to tap or hard press 4-5 times before these alphabets appeared. replacement ordered. I have to wait until July 16 for a full review. The palm rest that comes with the keyboard is usually snappy after a few hours of use. Right now the area where my wrist rests has a dent in that surface - bad material…

Pros
  • ADJUSTABLE TENTATION: The Kinesis KB820 keyboard comes pre-assembled with the popular VIP3 tent accessory, which allows you to pitch the tent 5, 10, or 15 degrees with built-in shock-absorbing palm pads to Keeping your forearms neutral and wrist support for optimal typing posture.
Cons

So far so good, snug fit for computers and accessories

I used to use the MS Sculpt keyboard, but my left wrist often hurt after a long day at work. Mac keyboards and realized they weren't compatible, so I went with this keyboard. I like that Kinesis is two-part and I like that it slopes slightly and naturally rather than being fully vertical, which seems to require a standing desk (because otherwise the angles would be too great for your elbow to rest on the table) . The extra keys on the far left are a bit annoying as you tend to get used to other

Pros
  • AWARD-WINNING SPLIT DESIGN: Unlike fixed ergonomic keyboards, Freestyle2 allows you to rotate and split key modules by up to 9 inches to create a natural hand, wrist and forearm position for your body type to reach.
Cons
