Kinesis Freestyle2 Bluetm For Mac. Bluetooth Version Of The Kinesis Freestyle2 K

With the tenting accessory it's a great ergonomic keyboard. Native Mac layout and labels, with an additional forward delete key which is a plus for me. I also like the big Esc key after a couple days of adjusting muscle memory. Pressing FN switches between F1-F12 mode and special keys mode (volumes, play/pause etc.) with LED indicator which is also very nice. It does not have numeric key pad thus has smaller size, which is exactly what I want but might be a concern for some people.It connects easily with MacBook and can be used to wake up MacBook and input password. Also works with Windows but with Windows and ALT key in reverse positions. There're lots of ways to remap keys in Windows so if it's an issue it can be easily sovled.All in all, it has none of the different small issues I had with other wireless keyboards and I'm very happy about this.The best part is, it can switch between bluetooth connections with 3 different devices. I recently started using it with a MacBook and a Windows laptop connected with the same monitor. With 2 bluetooth mouses I can switch between two computers relatively easily. It works as well as a USB switch box and without wires the deal with. I used a few USB switch boxes before for keyboard and mouse, and they all had occational issues, but I have not had switching issue with this keyboard so far.It really satisfies all my needs and I feel lucky to find this one.

My wrists used to hurt with regular keyboards, but since I bought this keyboard, my wrists have stopped hurting. I like the separation and the tilt. It makes typing really comfortable. I also like how I can seamlessly switch from connecting to my macbook pro to my macbook air to my ipad. I'm very happy with this purchase. The only thing I am slightly unhappy about is how additional accessories need to be purchased. Without the additional accessories, the keyboard is too low and flat.

Good keyboard but waaay too much packaging. Looks and works well with the iPad. Looking forward to years of use

I bought this as a replacement for my years-old and worn-out Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard which unfortunately is not made anymore. I like the Kinesis keyboard's ability vary the separation between the left and right sides of the keyboard. I'm relatively big (6'3"/190cm) so that feature is appreciated. And having a keyboard specifically laid out for the Macintosh that connects via bluetooth is good too (the Microsoft Sculpt does not have Apple specific keys and requires a USB transceiver thereby using up a USB port).On the downside, the construction is not as sturdy as I'd like. For example, there is a bridge connector that joins the left and right keyboard sides which allows them to still move while being joined; however, it easily broke after a few days by me picking up one side of the keyboard (it's best to pickup both sides at the same time); while this does not impact the ability of the keyboard to function, I would have hoped for a more sturdy material. I attempted to contact Kinesis to give this feedback but never heard back. The under-keyboard lifters are a nice optional add-on since it tilts each keyboard side to my preferred angle; however, they, like the aforementioned joiner, are not that sturdy; they have not broken but I would not do anything that may impact the keyboard strongly such as playing an action video game with them on.

A great idea for a keyboard that suffers from over design. The things that make this a useful product are a great key touch, bluetooth connectivity, and the ability to move the halves of the keyboard around and to elevate them for comfort.If the designers had stopped there everything would be fine. But, succumbing to the "if we can do it we should" philosophy that seems to be all the rage these days, the designers didn't. Instead they decided the the keyboard should talk to three different devices, and they added two columns of keys - 10 in total - down the left hand side of the keyboard, ostensibly useful with Microsoft Office.*This is a Mac KB. I'm using OS 11. Each time I go to use the computer and the monitor has turned off, it takes two to four taps on one of the keys *after the login screen has come up* before the keyboard is actually talking to the computer so I can type my password and unlock the screen.More frustrating is that the keyboard frequently loses its link to the computer and has to be "re-paired" - turn the KB off, turn it back on, press the pairing button, several times, and wait for it to link up again.I suspect that these problems have to do with the fact that the KB is looking for one of the three machines it can talk to, despite the fact that it's only paired with a single machine.The extra keys on the left side of the KB are not to be touched except when one is using MS Office (or whatever they were intended to assist). Doing so will occasionally cause the KB to un-pair.Please note that I have none of these problems with the standard Mac bluetooth KB.* They also stuck the ESC key way off in left field, but that's a personal peeve that probably only affects people like myself who do a lot of work in the terminal.
