The Freestyle Solo 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.
Two optional accessory packages, the Freestyle Incline and Freestyle VIP can be purchased to provide additional capabilities. These three configurations allow the user to choose features that offer complete separation and/or adjustable front splay, adjustable or fixed tenting, plus integrated and removable, padded palm supports.
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 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
- Optional Pivot Tether - Allows you to connect the two keying modules together, when desired
- French Canadian Legended Version - A version with French Canadian legends is also available. On this version, the standard letters are legended in white, the embedded numeric keypad and keys for activating the embedded numeric keypad are legended in blue, and the Alt Car characters (i.e. the unique characters which you get when you hold down the right ALT key in the French Canadian layout) are legended in red.

Kinesis’ “Freestyle” family of split keyboard designs offer intriguing layouts, but with the exception of last year’s gaming-focused Freestyle Edge, they unfortunately lacked mechanical switches. With the release of the new Freestyle Pro, though, the company has kept the more office-friendly look of the Freestyle2 but loaded it up with Cherry MX Brown switches.
Indeed, the Freestyle Pro is essentially an update to the Freestyle2, although Kinesis says that’s it’s also a sort of little brother to the Freestyle Edge. The split-style Freestyle Edge offered an ergonomics-inspired lift kit so you could prop up the two halves like a tent. It also had blue LED backlighting, palm rests, four dedicated buttons, and two vertical rows of macro keys on the left side. Compared to the Freestyle Edge, the Freestyle Pro lacks backlighting, and the palm supports (which you can buy separately for $24.95) are not included.
However, on the Freestyle Pro, that left-side bank of macro keys is loaded up with numpad functions, whereas they’re undefined (and simply numbered 1-10) on the Freestyle Edge. The Freestyle Pro is also pre-loaded with Mac and Dvorak layouts, has eight hot keys (for Desktop, Last App, Select All, Undo, Cut, Delete, Copy, and Paste), and includes four extra Mac keycaps.
Both the Freestyle Pro and the Freestyle Edge boast Kinesis’ SmartSet Programming software. Although you can do a fair amount of programming on the fly with the four buttons (the “Programming Cluster”) on the upper right side of these keyboards, the software gives you a handy GUI to work with. It lets you program and edit macros, remap keys, and more, and it lives on a 4MB “v-drive” on the keyboard itself instead of on your desktop (points for Kinesis!). You can see it in action here:
The Freestyle Pro is will lay completely flat, but if you prefer a bit of an angle, you can buy the lift kit (V3 Pro, $24.95) or the lift kit-plus palm rests (VIP3 Pro, $40).
You can get the Freestyle Pro for $179, which is $40 cheaper than the $219 Freestyle Edge.

Interesting tidbits:
Kinesis Freestyle Program Keys Pdf
- The “Programming Cluster” (the four dedicated buttons on the top right of the Freestyle Pro) have Cherry ML switches underneath. One would normally expect to see membrane switches. Points!
- Plug-and-play compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Chrome, although the pre-loaded SmartSet Programming app works only on Windows and Mac operating systems.
- The chassis are plastic. So much plastic.
- You can tuck most of the 20-inch cable that connects the two halves into the chassis to hide it.
