Wireless Split Keyboard with Bluetooth Multichannel Technology

The Kinesis Freestyle2 Blue is the wireless evolution of the popular Freestyle2 split keyboard—delivering the same ergonomic benefits of adjustable split design, now with Bluetooth multichannel connectivity that lets you seamlessly switch between three paired devices with the press of a button.

Why Freestyle2 Blue is the Wireless Ergonomic Choice

• Bluetooth Multichannel: Pair up to 3 devices simultaneously and switch between them instantly—perfect for multi-device workflows
• Adjustable Split Design: Separate keyboard halves from 0-9 inches apart to match shoulder width and eliminate ulnar deviation
• Wireless Freedom: Bluetooth connectivity eliminates cable clutter and allows flexible positioning on your desk
• Rechargeable Battery: Built-in lithium battery provides 3+ months per charge—no disposable batteries required
• Low-Profile Membrane Keys: Quiet, tactile typing with minimal key travel—ideal for open offices and shared workspaces

Clinical Benefits for Wrist Pain & RSI

Traditional keyboards force hands close together, causing ulnar deviation (wrist bending toward pinky) that leads to carpal tunnel syndrome and RSI. The Freestyle2 Blue’s split design allows shoulder-width hand positioning, eliminating ulnar deviation and promoting neutral wrist alignment. The wireless design enables optimal keyboard placement without cable constraints.

Who It’s Built For

Essential for multi-device users who switch between desktop, laptop, and tablet throughout the workday. Ideal for office professionals, programmers, and writers experiencing wrist pain or seeking ergonomic improvement. Perfect for hybrid workers, hot-desking environments, and users who want cable-free desk aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Freestyle2 Blue good for carpal tunnel syndrome or wrist pain?

Yes. The split design allows shoulder-width hand positioning, eliminating ulnar deviation—the primary mechanical driver of carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist RSI. Many users managing wrist pain report significant relief within the first 1-2 weeks of use. For users with active symptoms, we recommend pairing with a professional ergonomic assessment.

Is this good for a herniated disc or neck pain?

Indirectly yes—by allowing optimal keyboard placement without cable constraints, the Freestyle2 Blue helps reduce the forward head posture and shoulder tension that aggravate cervical disc issues and neck pain. For a full workstation assessment, our certified ergonomic specialists can help.

What is the difference between the Freestyle2 Blue and the Advantage360 Pro?

3+ months of typical use (8 hours/day) per charge. Full charge takes 3-4 hours via USB. Battery indicator LED alerts when charging is needed.
