• Accommodates a wide range of humans
  From small to tall and body types in between, the Freestyle Solo allows for maximum flexibility catering to each individual's unique needs.

• Narrow foot print for comfortable mousing and keying
  At only 15 3/8 inches wide the Freestyle Solo provides for close placement of any pointing device reducing over reach issues.

• Pivot Tether
  Both modules are connected together by a flexible pivot tether allowing an infinite range of splay and greatly reducing ulnar deviation.

• Slide Release Button
  Each keyboard module incorporates a slide release button that allows the attachment of both the pivot tether and the Incline Accessory.

• Provides total separation of both keyboard modules
  Disconnecting the pivot tether allows up to eight inches of complete separation of both left and right keying modules. Perfect for individual needs ranging from a narrow footprint to complete separation. This design greatly reduces and/or eliminates ulnar deviation one of the leading causes of discomfort and pain while typing. Also available is a custom version that offers up 20 inches of separation.

• Sleek, low profile design
  Most keyboards including ergonomic models have a 10 degree positive slope from front to back. These designs tend to bend your wrists (extension). The Freestyle Solo has a zero degree slope which minimizes the height, effectively creating negative slope and reducing wrist extension.

• Left Side Driverless Hot Keys
  Driverless hot keys for commonly used mouse actions. (Internet Page Forward and Back, Beginning of Line, End of Line, Cut, Undo, Copy, Select All and Paste).

• Top Row Driverless Hot Keys
  Like the new iMac keyboards plus more! Esc/force quit, Brightness, Exposé, Dashboard, Play Audio, Audio Volume, Dock, Eject & Off/Sleep (not shown).

• Double wide Escape and Fwd Delete keys
  The Kinesis Solo for Mac employs double wide Escape and Forward Delete keys making for an easier target for your fingers to press.

• Familiar key layout
  Familiar key layout provides for minimal adaptation time.

• Quiet, tactile key switches
  The Freestyle Solo utilizes a quiet, low-force, tactile membrane key switch. The typical average maximum key force of a switch is 45 grams. This is at least 25% less than most traditional and many ergonomic keyboards such as the Microsoft 4000 with maximum key forces of over 60 grams.

• Warranty
  Two year limited warranty.

Compatibility of Kinesis FreeStyle Solo Mac Keyboard:

• Requires available USB port.

• Will operate on virtually any USB system.

• Driverless hot keys on left side only compatible with Mac operating systems.

Applications of Kinesis FreeStyle Solo Keyboard:

• Perfect for individuals requiring greater separation than what is provided by other ergonomic keyboards.

• The best choice for companies that want to standardize on one keyboard for all but the most extreme ergonomic requirements. The Solo serves as an enhanced traditional compact keyboard but offers users the additional ability to splay and separate the two keying modules. Coupled with the user convertible configurations possible with the optional accessory kits, the Freestyle family offers the most configurations of any ergonomic keyboard, and at a very affordable price.

• A great option for users that want to place a trackball, touchpad or a separate 10-key between the two modules.

• Integrates well with Contour Design's Roller Mouse.
