## Description

desertcart.co.jp: Kinesis Freestyle Pro Quiet Ergonomic Split Mechanical Keyboard (Cherry MX Silent Red Switches) : Computers

Review: No confíen en este vendedor. Teclado usado e incompleto - El teclado estaba usado, me di cuenta porque traia una macro pregrabada que hablaba de una Janet, dos correos y algo de una visa DS160. Aparte de esto no traía las teclas de Mac ni la herramienta para reemplazarlas. Y venía "sellado".
Review: Ergonomy and Flexibility at its Best - I really like the Kinesis brand. This keyboard has been an upgrade from Kinesis Freestyle2 Blue. I have been using the split keyboard(s) from this brand for 6+ years, and I am very much used to the split-keyboard concept. Complementing this with programmable and silent mechanical switches simply boosts the experience, especially in open-office workplace environments. Being able to choose among different pre-configured layouts and program useful macros for different computer settings is a bonus. The only downside I could see (compared to Freestyle Edge) is that the VIP3 kit is excluded. The kit should have been included already in the package.

The Freestyle Pro has No Backlighting, Palm Supports are sold separately, Standard Cables, 8 Pre-programmed Hotkeys (User can re-configure), Pre-configured Mac Layout and 4 Mac keycaps (Layout 2), Pre-configured Dvorak Layout (Layout 3), Pre-configured “embedded” Numeric 10-Key on the right side. If you have further questions we can be reached at 800-644-9525.

**Q: Is there a way to get keys with standard Apple Mac labels rather than the Windows labels? (option, command keys)**
A: They are included with the keyboard

**Q: I need a keyboard that responds fast and is ergonomic, which model would be good for a person who types all day and has to be fast?**
A: I use this at a tech support job typing for 10 hours a day. Zero wrist or finger issues! I can type at around 70-80 wpm on it

**Q: Can someone post pictures of the bottom of the freestyle pro? i want to see if it's modifiable to use with their ascent riser.**
A: I originally bought the Freestyle Pro ($169) and the Ascent riser. I decided to return the Pro and swap it for the Freestyle 2 ($89) keyboard. The Ascent riser worked fine on both of them. Hope this helps!

After one week of usage, one of the keys stopped working. I am very angry considering the cost of the keyboard.
