Kinesis Freestyle Convertible Keyboard; First Mac keyboard that separates

Section: Mac + Computers, Peripherals, Keyboards Are you finding the traditional keyboard uncomfortable? Or, perhaps you are looking for something a little different for your iMac, MacPro, MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro. If so, you might want to check out Kinesis Corporation innovate keyboard. Recently, Kinesis unveiled the Kinesis Freestyle Convertible Keyboard. It’s not your traditional keyboard; it actually separates. It’s the first fully separating keyboard designed for Mac users. With the revolutionary Freestyle Solo Keyboard, the user has two accessory options the Freestyle Incline Accessory and the Freestyle VIP accessory. Kinesis president and CEO, Will Hargreaves, PhD, “We are very excited to provide the simplicity, comfort and flexibility of the Freestyle family to the Macintosh market. As consumers spend more hours at their home and office workstations, they better understand the importance of advanced keyboard design features in maximizing productivity, ensuring comfort, and avoiding overuse injuries.” Hargreaves added, “For too long, Macintosh users have not had the choice of an aesthetic, versatile, Mac-optimized alternative keyboard. We designed the Freestyle product family to provide a new level of elegance and comfort to Macintosh users everywhere.” You’ll find many additional features with the Freestyle Solo Keyboard, such as productivity-boosting hot keys, which will eliminate inordinate mouse clicking ( I really like this feature the less mouse clicks the better) and clumsy keyword combinations. The keyboard also boasts a low profile design, which helps encourage natural wrist posture. If you think that the backspace, delete, and escape keys aren’t wide enough on your traditional keyboard, you’ll fully appreciate the double-wide keys on this keyboard.  You don’t need special drivers since the Freestyle Solo Keyboard is fully compatible with OS X 10.4 and higher. This innovative keyboard was originally introduced to Windows in 2007, and has finally made its way to Macintosh models. You can purchase the Freestyle Solo keyboard for $99. If you want to purchase the accessories that accompany it, you will have to pay an additional $40. If you’re looking for a revolutionary keyboard, log onto Kinesis and check out the Freestyle Solo Keyboard. Full Story » | Written by Opal Tribble for Appletell. | Comment on this Article »
