The Freestyle2 Keyboard provides access to numbers along the top row, as well as via an easily toggled numeric layer embedded into the right-hand module.
This reduces the reach for the mouse for right-handed individuals and optimizes the workspace for everyone. The compact symmetrical layout is achieved by removing the numeric keypad found on the right side of most keyboards. This greatly improves posture and blood flow in the upper body, prevents undesirable rotation at the shoulders, and eliminates ulnar deviation at the wrist. This separation enables individuals to position the left and right sides of the keyboard shoulder width apart, allowing the shoulders, elbows, arms and wrists to relax in an anatomically neutral position. The Freestyle2 Keyboard is divided into two separate modules connected by either a 9" (the most common) or 20" cable. One of the most versatile keyboards currently manufactured, the Freestyle2 is an adjustable, separated keyboard offering considerable ergonomic benefits.
