If you're looking for a mechanical keyboard with an ergonomic design, you'll want to check out the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB. It has a split design that may take some getting used to, but you can arrange either half to the angle and distance you prefer on your desk. Both halves also have a comfortable, detachable wrist rest to help prevent wrist fatigue.

We purchased our unit with Chery MX Brown switches which provide a great all-around typing experience. However, you can also get this keyboard with linear Cherry MX Red or clicky Blue switches, if you prefer. While this keyboard excels in an office and productivity role, it also has several gaming-oriented features, including full RGB backlighting, macro-programmable keys, and dedicated customization software, and its latency is much lower than other ergonomic keyboards.

Unfortunately, the keycaps are ABS plastic, and although they have a matte coating that gives them a slightly more grip, most users are likely to find them less satisfying than PBT keycaps. Also, this keyboard doesn't have any incline settings despite its overall ergonomic focus, and you'll have to buy a Lift Kit separately to adjust the incline angle. Aside from these minor shortcomings, this is a great ergonomic option for anyone needing a mechanical keyboard versatile enough for productivity tasks and gaming.

When you spend a good portion of your day at a keyboard, you'll want something that offers comfort. The best ergonomic keyboard for programming that we've tested is the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB. It has a fully split design, so you can place the halves anywhere you like, as long as they're within the reach of its 20 inch connecting cable.

The split design helps the overall comfort as you can place the halves to encourage a more natural posture for your wrists. Each half also comes with a magnetically attachable wrist rest for extra support. Along the left side of the board, there's a column of dedicated macro keys for easy access, but every key is macro-programmable, and you don't need the software to assign macros as you can do that directly on the board. Also, its latency is very low, so it's great if you're looking for a versatile option to use for gaming after you've signed off for the day.

Unfortunately, though it's an ergonomic board, it doesn't have any incline settings. Instead, you'll have to purchase a lift kit separately to be able to set the angle you prefer. The split design takes some getting used to at first, and it does encourage you to touch-type rather than look at the keys on the board. With that said, it's an all-around comfortable choice with great programmability if you're looking for an ergonomic keyboard for coding.

The best ergonomic wired keyboard we've tested is the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB. This TenKeyLess mechanical model feels sturdy and solid, with no sign of flex. It has excellent ergonomics with two detachable wrist rests and a fully split design that lets you position each half the way you want. Thanks to that, typing on it doesn't get too tiring, even if you're using it for long periods.

Our unit uses Cherry MX Brown switches, which feel light to type on and give good tactile feedback without being too noisy. If you prefer another feel, this keyboard is also available with Cherry MX linear Red, Speed Silver, or clicky Blue switches. It comes with the RGB SmartSet software, which gives you plenty of customization options like programming macros or customizing the full RGB backlighting.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have any adjustable incline settings, though you can buy a 'Lift Kit' separately. The keyboard is also quite large, especially if you decide to split the two halves, meaning it may take quite a bit of space on your desk. It's a great option that's very versatile, whether you're using it at the office or for gaming.

The best mechanical ergonomic keyboard for typing that we've tested is the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB. It's a full-sized keyboard split into two halves, and you can place either half anywhere you like on your desk, provided it's within 20 inches of the other half, as they rely on a wired connection.

We purchased this keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches, but it's also available with Cherry MX linear Red and clicky Blue switches. The Brown switches provide great typing quality and have a satisfying tactile bump to overcome during actuation. The keys feel stable, and the spacing is good. Also, despite being made of ABS plastic, the keycaps have a matte covering and feel good to type on. This keyboard also has full RGB backlighting, and you can assign macros to any key using the customization software that's compatible with both Windows and macOS.

Unfortunately, despite its excellent ergonomics overall, this keyboard lacks incline settings. You can buy a separate lift kit via the Kinesis website. While the split design may take some getting used to, this keyboard is an ideal choice if you're looking for a high-quality mechanical keyboard that lets you freely adjust the position and angle of your hands as you work.

Wirecutter

This mechanical keyboard is comfortable to type on and meets all of our ergonomic criteria: It’s fully split, has a flat slope, can tent, lacks a number pad, and lets you program it for further customizability.

The best ergonomic keyboard we've tested is the Kinesis Freestyle Edge RGB. This full-size mechanical unit has a suite of ergonomic features to keep you comfortable throughout the day. As it's a fully-split keyboard, you can place the two halves away from each other to keep your shoulders and elbows a more natural distance apart. Since the two halves connect with a cable, you have about 20-inches of tolerance to play with. Although mechanical keyboards tend to have a less ergonomic, high profile, the attached wrist rests do a good job of propping your wrists up high enough so you can easily reach the tops of the keycaps without strain. The Cherry MX Brown switches in our unit are light to press, so you're less prone to finger fatigue. You can also get this keyboard with clicky Blue or linear Red switches, both of which are fairly light to type on and offer a slightly different typing experience.

However, this keyboard takes up a lot of space on desks due to the extra macro and navigation keys, so if you're looking for something smaller and don't mind losing those keys, the Dygma Raise is another great option. This keyboard also has a split design, but the two halves fit together to form a single compact board, which offers an excellent typing experience and incredible comfort.

 Well, in an effort to reduce the board's overall footprint, so you don't overreach to operate the mouse, straining the neck and shoulders. So back to my point, then, if you were already a perfect by-the-book typist, the transition would probably be fairly easy. But if you also have to unlearn some nasty habits at the same time like using the wrong hand for the B key pen, your transition will likely be much slower. Another consequence of the concave design is that the keys are a bit closer to each other, which again seems legit for both speed and stamina

You wouldn't tolerate headphones that weren't, designed to fit the shape of your head or a chair that wasn't designed to comfortably hold your ass. So why, then, would you use a keyboard that wasn't designed to perfectly match the shape of your hands? Well, Kinesis. Doesn'T think that you should meet the freaky deaky advantage to a keyboard that aims to put ur gon na mix first without sacrificing productivity, but at a bank breakin three hundred and fifty dollars. Is there any reason for you to use one of these? Unless your doctor says you have to, let's figure it out: [ Music ] rose wills, Cullinan mid-tower ATX case features tempered glass panels for a sleek aesthetic, with ample expansion check it out at the link below

 The bottom feet: keep it in place on your desk. You can connect a foot pedal to it and all the switches are genuine mechanical Cherry MX or MLS. Okay, fine, so the build quality is good, but let's stop pussyfooting around and address the elephant in the room. Why does it look like that? Well, the advantage to layout is designed to mitigate the primary stresses that typing on a conventional keyboard imposes on the body

 Anyway, this split positions, the users hands closer to shoulder width apart, reducing something called ulnar deviation, which occurs when your wrists are bent outward next. They made the Kewell's concave to keep your wrists straight and sloped to keep your hands from sitting completely pronated. This increases blood circulation in your forearms and there are more customizations. The keycaps themselves are at varying heights so that your middle finger won't be over arched and your pinky can actually reach tough and the ctrl Keys that your we cast little finger would normally be responsible for have been offloaded to these clusters, where your thumbs can straight Up do work instead of sitting on the bench

The Most BIZARRE Keyboard...

 Between the keyboard halves works but it is awkward to reach in between the keyboard halves over and over again. Maybe implement a Thinkpad-like finger mouse, so one can do some mousing without moving hands off the keyboard?  - The tilt kit is overpriced as two simple pieces of plastic, although it is well designed. If Kinesis is finding that most people are buying the tilt kit at the same time as keyboard, include the tilt kit and reduce the total price.

  - redesign the plastic key caps so that the secondary characters are more clearly visible and readable when keyboard lit. Currently, secondary characters are dark when keyboard is lit.  - add a 2nd B key to right side of keyboard so B can be typed with either hand. There is room for an extra B key on the right keyboard half

 Use half-height short-travel non-mechanical keys or even a mouse-click switch under the four thumb keys so that the thumb keys can be activated as rapidly as possible, with the least amount of travel. (Thumbs are strong but slow.) This is crucial for fast accurate typing if modifier keys like ctrl and Shift are to be activated by the thumbs. My most common error on the Kinesis keyboard is not pressing the thumb fast enough to ctrl or Shift another key

  I feel that four changes, in decreasing order of priority, would change this good keyboard into a great ergonomic keyboard:  1. Split the large space key of each keyboard half into two separate keys, giving four keys altogether that the thumbs could type.  It would also be better to place the split thumb keys along a short arc of the thumb so one thumb key is a little bit to the right and closer to the wrist pad on the left keyboard half, and similarly for the right keyboard half. (Just splitting the thumb key in half as it currently exists would not be as ergonomic

Some weaknesses of the Kinesis Gaming keyboard, suggestions for improvements

.. You CAN do either of those things. What's cool is that the software tool for Windows is actually built right into the keyboard

 Or the fact that the halves don't snap together for some reason. And at this price we think it absolutely needs to include the lift kit., But of all the ergonomic keyboards. So far, we think this one has by far the most mainstream appeal

, But of all the ergonomic keyboards. So far, we think this one has by far the most mainstream appeal.. So if it goes on sale, I am ready to say `` pull the trigger now !''

Gaming Keyboard that’s SPLIT in HALF? -  Kinesis Freestyle Edge

Keychron Return Process Experience?

 - a warning to future users: the Kinesis keyboard takes up a lot of desk space when the two halves are spread apart at shoulder width, there is little room to refer to documents on the table. Also tricky is where to place a mouse. Between the keyboard halves works but it is awkward to reach in between the keyboard halves over and over again. Maybe implement a Thinkpad-like finger mouse, so one can do some mousing without moving hands off the keyboard? - The tilt kit is overpriced as two simple pieces of plastic, although it is well designed

If Kinesis is finding that most people are buying the tilt kit at the same time as keyboard, include the tilt kit and reduce the total price.

 Also, the funky technicolor backlighting is not really my taste. Hopefully I can make it just a regular color.  My touch-typing accuracy has gone down -- getting my fingers lined up on the home row is critical. However, once again, hopefully, this will bounce back once I have more hours with the keyboard

 I was in the middle of a meeting where I needed to be typing into a document that I was sharing and it was awkward to have to switch out the keyboard in the middle the meeting.  This keyboard had high marks for ergonomics and thought I would give it i shot.  I like the idea of having my arms out straight in front of me as opposed to scrunched and huddled over a single integrated keyboard. It feels much more natural

Will take some getting used to but think it will be an improvement.

It's a great size and has enough keys for anything I need (I also game from time to time and it's fine for that). The kinesis was an easy transition from a normal board as it has traditional stagger and familiar keys everywhere but it's pretty big.

I was looking at Ergodox and i wanted to know if [https://falba.tech/](https://falba.tech/) is a good shop for someone living within the eu. also if it is possibly someone to recommend me where to buy switches and keycaps for someone living in eu. this is my first buy. I have done soldering work before so my only problem is finding where to shop and what to shop. 

main goals is to get my first ergo board because i have reached a wall on what i can  do to reduce strain with my typing technic. i have even managed to minimize my mouse usage just to avoid it since i can feel it straining my hand. 

also build recommendation and stuff are welcomed. but the build is ergodox since i don't want to jump too deep from a full size keyboard with macropad to a 50 or less keys layouts. even if in my current workflow i am usually not using a lot more keys that that. I know of kyria someone recommended it ot me and if this transition is successuful maybe a kyria or similar reduced board for ergonomics on the go might be the next stop in a year time or so. 

thanks in advance for any responses and for taking your time to help me.

any tips for someone looking to build their first ergo keyboard?

 However, after spending so much on the keyboard itself, would it have killed the manufacturer to throw in the riser system? I guess that will be my next purchase. The cables are heavy braided cord and build quality feels solid. Wish it was bluetooth so that I didn't need to have a cord on my desk but that's life. I don't game so not really going to be using those capabilities too much
