The Freestyle separated keyboard is the most versatile keyboard on the market today and represents a breakthrough in ergonomic design. The Freestyle adapts to the specific needs of every user with infinitely adjustable separation and splay and a design that will permit as much reduction in pronation as is required for most users. The layout incorporates unique features for performance and comfort, with almost no adaptation time. Featuring an undeniably modern contemporary look, this keyboard provides a stylish accent to any workstation.

The Freestyle Solo is intuitive to configure and use with simple, sturdy adjustment mechanisms (no more need for awkward or unwieldy adjustment levers, wheels or clamps) . Several interchangeable modular accessories provide features never before available from a single keyboard design.

Two optional accessory packages, the Freestyle Incline and Freestyle VIP can be purchased to provide additional capabilities. These three configurations allow the user to choose features that offer complete separation and/or adjustable front splay, adjustable or fixed tenting, plus integrated and removable, padded palm supports.

Features Found in All Configurations:

Sleek Low Profile - the keyboard has minimal height, effectively creating negative slope and reducing extension.
Compact Design - narrower than 'natural' style keyboards while maintaining full-size key spacing, minimizing adaptation time. In addition, the reduced footprint means your mouse is closer than with conventional keyboards.
Quiet, Tactile Full Travel Keyswitches - keyswitches provide a soft touch, reducing strain on your fingers while providing positive feedback required for touch typists and hunt-and-peck typists alike.
Embedded Numeric Keypad - simply toggle the keypad on with the left-front 'Fn' key, or get an optional numeric keypad (pictured below).
Innovative Yet Familiar Layout - Familiar key layout provides for minimal adaptation time while adding driverless hot keys for commonly used mouse and keyboard actions to improve productivity and comfort (Cut, Copy, Paste, Page Fwd, Page Bk, Home, and Search).
Instant, reproducible setup - of both split and tenting features
Flexibility in Configuration - User 1 needs a conventional keyboard without a palm support, no problem. User 2 wants a 'natural' style left handed keyboard, add the AC210USB numeric keypad, put it on the left, tent the keyboard to 10° degrees and adjust the splay, and you have a left handed 'natural' style keyboard. User 3 wants to tent it higher and remove the palm supports..all options are available with the Freestyle and its versatile accessories
Optional Pivot Tether - Allows you to connect the two keying modules together, when desired
French Canadian Legended Version - A version with French Canadian legends is also available. On this version, the standard letters are legended in white, the embedded numeric keypad and keys for activating the embedded numeric keypad are legended in blue, and the Alt Car characters (i.e. the unique characters which you get when you hold down the right ALT key in the French Canadian layout) are legended in red.
