Best Ergonomic Keyboards For Mac
Features Most keyboards including ergonomic models have a 10 degree positive slope from front to back. These designs tend to bend your wrists. The Freestyle2 has a zero degree slope which minimizes the height, effectively creating negative slope and reducing wrist extension.
There is also a version of the HiRise available for portable Mac laptops. This version can raise your MacBook up to 6” and serves not only an ergonomic purpose, but helps cool your Mac as well.

Testimonials Testimonials Freestyle Keyboard (All Versions) Consultant Diane R (USA) Freestyle2 for Mac Kinesis user since 2014I have used an ergonomic keyboard since the late 90’s.
I have arthritis in my hands and cannot use a regular keyboard. I had previously used the Microsoft Natural keyboard but the lettering wore off within months. Now I use the the Kinesis Freestyle2 which I prefer because it is adjustable and can be customized for my needs. I acclimated to the Freestyle2 immediately and the quality is excellent. Transciptionist Pam D (USA) Freestyle2 for PC with VIP3 Accessory Kinesis user since 2009I have owned the Freestyle and now also the Freestyle2, both with the lifters, for more years than I can count. I have tried many keyboards over the 20 years I’ve owned my transcription business, but since I found this one, I never use any other. Typing as much as I do, I have to use a keyboard that really is ergonomic, not one that just says it is.
I hope you continue to make it forever! Writer and Teacher Leland L (USA) Freestyle2 for PC with VIP3 Accessory Kinesis user since 2016I am a writer and teacher. For nearly 20 years I have suffered from episodes of debilitating tendonitis in my shoulders. I also have the beginnings of cubital tunnel syndrome (numbness in my ring fingers and pinkies which is now progressing on to weakness.) I recently purchased a Kinesis Freestyle2 keyboard with the VIP 3 accessory bundle.

I generally don’t wax particularly emotional over technology, but your product brought me real tears of joy and palpable relief. This keyboard has enabled me to move my arms down and around to my sides and angle my wrists in a more natural (and less painful) position. My sincerest compliments to your design staff. I am now able to remain on task longer and with a huge reduction of pain and fatigue.Unfortunately, this means I will be making fewer visits to my (cervical) chiropractor.
After I described your product to him, he displayed great interest and even seemed authentically happy for me. Though he evinced joy at my purchase, I detected a certain wistfulness. I can only interpret this to be a little sadness at his future decreased revenue. If the relief I feel from your product facilitates me missing two office visits to him, the keyboard will have paid for itself.Thank you for making my life much easier and less painful.
