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 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.
Freestyle Solo - Perfect for individuals requiring greater separation than
what is provided by other ergonomic keyboards.
- Up to 5.25" of complete separation of both left and right keyboard
modules (this means approximately 7" between the center of the '6' and
'7' key)
- Infinite adjustment of splay (split) angle
- Adjusts for both shoulder width, arm and wrist to ensure complete alignment
of the fingers, hands, wrists and forearms in a neutral relaxed position
- Left and right keyboard modules can be attached with the included Pivot/Tether
Pin while still allowing up to 90 degrees of splay.
Freestyle with VIP (V-Lifter
and Integrated Palm Supports)
Accessory
The Freestyle VIP includes all of the features of the Solo and add the following
features:
- Left and Right V-Lifters are easily attached to the bottom of the Solo
allowing the user to quickly alternate the slope of the keyboard from 10 to
15 degrees whenever desired
- Left and Right Integrated Padded Palm Supports simply attach to the front
of the Solo, and are included to keep wrists in a neutral position while typing
at either tenting slope
Freestyle with Incline Accessory
The Freestyle Incline is the ideal replacement for fixed split and tented keyboards
such as the Microsoft Natural. The Incline accessory offers:
- 10-degree fixed tenting of both keyboard modules
- Adjustable splay (up to 30 degrees) of both keyboard modules
- Padded palm supports
- Keyboard modules may be unmounted from the base without tools for individuals
that require greater separation but no tenting
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, Light Touch 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

Summary of How the Embedded Numeric Keypad Functions
|
Legending: |
The Navigation Keys are not legended but are supported
as described below. The numeric keypad legends are on the top surface
of the keycap, at the bottom right corner of the keycap (see picture
at top of page). |
To Activate the Numeric Keypad:
|
Press and release the Fn (Function) key. The blue light
at the top right hand corner of the keyboard labeled Fn will
turn on.
|
To Deactivate the Numeric Keypad: |
Press and release the Fn (Function) key. The blue light at
the top right hand corner of the keyboard labeled Fn will turn
off. |
With NumLock On: |
If the Fn (Function) key is lit at the same
time as NumLock is active, the numeric keypad will generate
numbers. |
With NumLock Off: |
If the Fn (Function) key is lit with NumLock
off, the numeric keypad will perform its normal keyboarding functions. |
WHAT THIS MEANS |
|
To Get Numbers: |
Toggle Access (Press and Release Fn When Num Lock is
on) |
To Get Navigation: |
Toggle Access (Press and Release Fn When Num Lock is
off) |
|
The Low Force Tactile Numeric Keypad connects via the USB port on your
computer. An embedded 2 port USB hub allows you to plug your USB devices
(including the Maxim keyboard or your USB pointing device) into the keypad,
and then you have only 1 USB cable which needs to plug into your computer
for all your input devices. A great productivity enhancement if you work
with numbers!
