Compared to a standard keyboard, I found the basic Freestyle, with its adjustable splay, to offer a more relaxed typing position. But once you acclimate your hands to the different design, that design puts less stress on your wrists and hands. If you’ve never used a splayed/tented keyboard, switching to one does require an adjustment period. The VIP isn’t as sturdy but offers more flexibility. ![]() Kinesis says the Incline mount is best for people who need only moderate inclination but prefer the capability to adjust the splay. Both accessory kits provide large, padded wrist rests. VIP accessory provides individual tenting stands, one for each half of the keyboard, and lets you choose any degree of splay, up to several inches of separation, and 10 to 15 degrees of tenting. The Incline adds 10 degrees of tenting to each piece and allows splaying of up to 30 degrees once you find your preferred splay angle, you can lock the keyboard in place. Incline accessory is a large, solid base onto which you fasten the two halves of the keyboard. ![]() ![]() The result is that your hands are much closer to their natural position: straight out from your arms and vertical. With either accessory, you can still control the outward splay of the keyboard’s halves. For more healthy-hand goodness, you can separately purchase one of two ergonomic mounts for the Freestyle Solo that raise the middle of the keyboard to a “tented” position so the inside edge of each hand (the thumb side) is tilted upwards.
