Tenting without Palm Supports (AC930) : The V3 Pro tenting accessory includes left and right “v-Lifters” which easily attach to the base of the Freestyle Pro Keyboard allowing quick and reproducible slope settings of 5, 10 and 15 degrees without the use of integrated palm supports. ***The AC930 kit is not compatible with Palm Supports.*** Tenting with Palm Supports (AC925) : The VIP3 Pro Premium tenting accessory includes left and right “v-Lifters” and all-new cushioned Palm Supports which easily attach to the base of the Freestyle Pro Keyboard allowing quick and reproducible slope settings of 5, 10 and 15 degrees with the use of the integrated palm supports. *If you already purchased the Palm Supports (AC908) and want to add tenting separately. Just purchase the AC910 "Lift Kit". Easy to Learn. Easy to Customize. Familiar QWERTY layout with an "embedded" numeric 10 keypad and 8 additional hotkeys. Reprogram ANY key to build and record dozens of macros to build your own productivity-boosting layout. Or toggle to a pre-loaded Dvorak layout Premium Mechanical Switches | Choose Tacile or Quiet Linear Choose from Cherry MX Brand tactile Brown switches or linear MX "Silent" Red switches Incredible typing feel and performance Low-force for maximum comfort and ergonomics Rated for 50 million key presses for incredible durablility Full travel for reduced finger impact Up to 20" of Separation For All Body Types, INCLUDED! Out of the box, the Freestyle Pro supports up to 12 inches of separation which is more than enough to achieve shoulder-width typing for most individuals. If you need a little bit more room, access the cable compartment for an additional 8 inches of stored cable for an extra wide split to accomodate broad shoulders. Review: Great keyboard - I love this keyboard. It helps my hand posture by being split allowing it to be ergonomic. It does take time to train your muscle memory. At the time of this review, im still learning it's layout. One thing I suggest to the developer, keep in mind the muscle memory that we are most of us used too. The "ESC" key is too far and it wants to be where the F1 key is. Additionally, the left side shortcut keys are useful but perhaps try to see how will it work out if those where on the right side of the left keyboard. I feel that location will make ot easier to train our muscle memory. Designing around muscle memory can be very challenging but not impossible. Review: Fantastic ergo keyboard, accessories are a must - Been using this keyboard for work and it has been very nice to use. The switches feel great and being able to space out my hands while typing feels so much better than having my hands all scrunched up on a regular keyboard. I do miss having a number pad, but that was much easier to adjust to than I thought. I will say, do get the accessories for this keyboard. The additional wrist pads and lift kit are a must in my opinion and worth the additional cost. ## Features - AWARD-WINNING SPLIT DESIGN: Advanced ergonomics for all body types and preferences via adjustable split, splay, and tent (tenting accessories sold separately).

The switches feel great and being able to space out my hands while typing feels so much better than having my hands all scrunched up on a regular keyboard. I do miss having a number pad, but that was much easier to adjust to than I thought. I will say, do get the accessories for this keyboard. The additional wrist pads and lift kit are a must in my opinion and worth the additional cost. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good ergo keyboard, spendy for what you get *by N***K on March 27, 2021* Moved to this keyboard off of a 10+ year-old MS Ergo 4000. Compared to the MS keyboard, it is obviously much more flexible to position (especially with the VIP3 Pro kit - don't buy this keyboard without it or you just get a two-piece keyboard with no tilt adjustment or wrist pads), but the keys themselves are all square and not sloped or differently-sized for better ergonomics. So focus on this if positioning is where you need ergonomic support, but not if you also need a high degree of ergonomic adjustment for your hand/fingers. On the other hand, the mechanical keys do, as I hoped, feel great. I am certain that the strong key feedback makes my typing "crisper" so I hold my hands more appropriately, and my fingers literally are less tired when typing for extended times. The Cherry Red Quiet keys are fine for typing while on Zoom meetings, and the people I'm talking to do not report keyboard noise. There is, as mentioned in other reviews, a little reverberation as the keys hit the metal baseplate, which would be nice to have silenced, but I don't find it especially bothersome. The feel is good with no tacticle "click," which I'd assume you'd get on the Brown keys. This is NOT a clicky keyboard and if you want one, look elsewhere. Programmability is amazing, and I'd point you do the documentation on how wide it is. You have 3 layouts to customize, each with their own second "layer" by pressing the fn key. This means that in total you have 6 full keyboard layouts to work the way you want. The software to edit layouts is easy enough to use, and once you set things up, the layouts and macros are saved on the keyboard. So if you're using this with ChromeOS or Linux without native support, you can personalize on another machine and then use the full customizations on other computers. The VIP3 Pro accessory which, again, you just should buy to get the most of our the ergonomics of this keyboard, is cleverly built and gives you three different angles to tent your keyboard. I found myself tenting the left more than the right, and it's nice to have that option. It only does horizontal angling though, so you cannot tilt the keyboard vertically forwards or backwards. On the downsides, the rubber feet to keep the keyboard stable are not very sticky, and as a result, the tenting accessory ended up sliding around and sometimes flipping position on my very slick keyboard tray. I put some microsuction tape on the rubber feet and that resolved it. Overall I'm happy and can type comfortable and quickly on the keyboard. Took some getting used to with typing with my hands far apart, but once I got a few days' use under my belt, I was back up to my typical 100wpm, and my hands and wrists feel great after a long day of typing. If you cannot touch type, however, avoid this keyboard. Using a broadly split keyboard like this along with hunting and pecking would be incredibly frustrating. I'd also have a hard time endorsing this as a gaming keyboard for the same reasons (the same would be true of Kinesis' gaming version of this, which is the same except with fancy lights). Between the un-padded metal backplate, the lack of forwards/backwards tilting on the VIP3, and the slippery keyboard feet, the keyboard falls short of being a true best-of-the-best option, at at a little above $200 for the whole kit, that's a disappointment. But the options for ergonomic mechanical keyboards are limited, and I cannot fault the feel of the keyboard once I got it "just so." ## Frequently Bought Together - KINESIS USB-A Freestyle Pro Quiet Ergonomic Split Mechanical Keyboard (Cherry MX Silent Red Switches) - KINESIS AC930 V3 Pro Lifters (Tenting for Freestyle Pro & Edge), Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/94833905-kinesis-usb-a-freestyle-pro-quiet-ergonomic-split-mechanical-keyboard](https://www.desertcart.in/products/94833905-kinesis-usb-a-freestyle-pro-quiet-ergonomic-split-mechanical-keyboard) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
