## Features

- ✅ [ Award-Winning Design ] The Freestyle Pro keyboard offers the same advanced ergonomic features of the Freestyle2 but with the additional benefits of full on-board programmability and low-force Cherry MX Quiet Red mechanical key switches. Instantly switch between Windows, Mac and Dvorak layouts or create your own. The FS Pro makes programming a breeze with onboard shortcuts and the no-install SmartSet App. And with a standard 20″ linking cable everyone can find their comfort zone.
- ✅ [ Zero Degree Slope Form Factor ] As with the Freestyle2 the FS Pro retains a zero degree slope from front to back. Most keyboards including ergonomic models have a 10 degree positive slope. These designs tend to bend your wrists. The FS Pro’s zero degree slope decreases the height, effectively creating negative slope and reducing wrist extension.
- ✅ [ Adjustable Linking Cable ] The two key modules are connected by a 20 inch linking cable that can be adjusted to suit your preferences and body type. The basic configuration allows up to 12 inches of separation. If you need additional separation, simply remove the cable compartment cover located on the back of the left key module and thread out more of the stored cable until you find your desired width.
- ✅ [ SmartSet Programming Engine ] Freestyle Pro features Kinesis’s all-new SmartSet Programming Engine that allows you to customize the keyboard’s layout without installing any clunky software or special drivers, or accessing the internet. Record macros, remap keys, and much, much more using convenient onboard shortcuts. SmartSet works on all major operating systems and enables users to easily create, view, edit, share, and backup their custom layouts.
- ✅ [ Mechanical Key Switches ] The Freestyle Pro (KB900-RDQ model) utilizes the newest Cherry MX Quiet Red stem mechanical key switches which have a linear feel, low activation force, and sound-dampening components to make them quieter than conventional mechanical switches.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this really worth the price? The freestyle2 is more than 2 times cheaper and lasts 3 years. Will this last 6.8 years?**
A: I'm don't have a "Freestyle2 Keyboard", but I'm a long term user of a Kinesis Freestyle Pro with Cherry MX Red Quiet switches.
The answer to your question is "It depends on your use case". The main difference between these two is that "Freestyle Pro" has mechanical switches.
The mechanical switches is a big game changer not only because it fells better but also because it is healthier for your fingers ergonomics. The problem of non mechanical switches is that when you type using it you king of strum your fingers on the desk which has a bad effect on your finger joints.
But still the question "Does this ergonomic improvements worth its money?" holds.
You need to consider your use case. I'm myself a professional programmer and I spend up to 10 hours per day typing on my keyboard. For my use case having mechanical key switches makes a huge difference. Also the high price can be easily justified by the fact that I can be productive for more amount of time.
Speaking of "how long this keyboard can last". In my opinion it can easily last for 8 years, even more, but only if you take care of it. But in my opinion, if you really use this keyboard intensively you will probably spill the coffee on it or drop it from the table or it gets worn out because you constantly carry it in your backpack from a home to an office. Therefore, even though technically it can last for so long, I wouldn't count on it just because in real life there are lots of thing which can happen with the keyboard during its usage.
Therefore, my opinion is that if you use a keyboard a lot it worth paying more for Freestyle Pro. Also, I highly recommend to buy this addition for "Freestyle Pro": https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CX5ZF3L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

**Q: Is this one a uk or us layout?**
A: It is a US layout.
