Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard w/ VIP3 Lifters for Mac (9" Separation)

The delivery took too long and by the time it arrived I was used to another keyboard. Cons: - So many cables, in these days we’re Mac computers have everything wireless, having a keyboard with so many cables feels counter intuitive. - Too many keys. I type without looking at the keyboard and having that many keys make it hard to actually map it in your mind. - The design feels like is from the 90s, is just ugly compared to the sleek designs from the competition. - It does not feel stable when is in the highest position. - I didn’t like the sound. I don’t need no sound and for that price I wish I could choose to have quiet keys. Positives: - It has all the possible keys you may need, I think if you take the time to learn all of them then it can be a boost in productivity. - Zero configuration needed. Keys are exactly like what you expect from a Mac. That is just great. - Price is not bad for all that your getting. - is very reputable brand and you know you are not getting a weird faulty electronic.

Fantastic! have high sensitivity in my tendons from past carpal tunnel and bilateral tendonitis injuries.

The product is really good. Took some some days to get fully adapted to the new configuration, but now i can see how uncomfortable was the previous setup. The positioning lemme adjust my shoulders position, I’m no longer feeling them tired in the end of the day.

It seems I type all day, and have gone through keyboards, have broken keys, and have particular criteria I need in a keyboard, and specific things I don't want. Important to me: ergonomic is #1. And part of that includes NOT having a numeric keypad attached. It means I have to over-reach and take my hands off the keyboard to use my mouse which slows me down. I've used the Microsoft Sculpt and loved it -- that is, until the doggle (?, the USB thing you plug into your computer) stopped communicating to the keyboard. So I bought another one. Except the new one had the same problem the old one developed after several years of great use. So I returned it. And the search was one. I got another one which had the same problem (the lag time between hitting the keys and it typing was either terribly slow, or the keys I typed never showed up. And then I started reviewing the reviews much more thoroughly, and it seemed NONE of the reviews of the ergonomic keyboards without numeric keypads had unanimously positive reviews. Except 2: one of them was about $200 + an additional $150 or $200 for the lifters. Well, if this thing works best with the lifters (which all reviews say it does), why would that not be included? Plus, it had features I didn't like and didn't really want, including bright red, blue and green lights on the keys, and keys you could program (largely for programmers, which I am not). Another feature I want is for the caps lock key to be backlit so I can tell at a glance if it's on or not. And then a friend sent me the link to this keyboard. It had all the features I wanted, none of the features I didn't want . . . at a fraction of the price. And the reviews were ALL positive. It's still costs more than the average run-of-the mill keyboard. But, when my friend compared it to when he buys a guitar.... he doesn't mind spending the money on a Les Paul. Well, my keyboard is how I make music!, and so I decided to go for it. It's my Les Paul! It was instant plug-and-play, I have the lifters in the halfway position, and am totally in love with it. It took zero time to get used to. So what that it has a cord. This keyboard is a dream. I'm so grateful to have found it!!!!!! You won't be disappointed. Oh, one more little thing. I use the little bumps that remind my fingers when they're on the home keys (or not!). These little bumps were rather little, and hard to sense. So I just added a little thing (a textured tape) to make the bumps bigger, and now my fingers find the home keys without my having to look!

The clip that holds the two keyboards together arrived broken. It seemed that this was a known defect with the keyboard as the broken clip was outside the plastic packaging of the keyboard itself.

The keyboard itself feels good, smart design. BUT key 'C' fails about 1/3 of the strokes. Checked the date of arrival, it has only been one and half months... Return window closed after one month. Left seller a comment but never heard back. How disappointing. Do NOT buy this.
