Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kinesis Corporation AC720-BLK Kinesisfreestyle Vip Accessory Black
Customer Review: Can't use without palm rests, and can't lock 15-degree position in place
Summary: 3 Stars
There are two attributes I was not able to determine either from Amazon's description, other reviews, or the Kinesis website product description: 1) It is not possible to use this kit without the palm rests attached; and 2) the folding legs won't stay locked in place when moving the keyboard sections.
The first is not a flaw, but it does require more room on your desktop than would otherwise be possible, so slightly disappointing. The second is a real problem. To switch between the 10- and 15-degree positions, the legs swing in and out on an up-down axis (i.e., draw a line from the space bar to the number row at top). But the legs don't lock in place at all. This is not a problem for the 10-degree position, because this is its natural resting position. But the 15-degree position remains solid only when the keyboard is not moved -- as soon as you shift either half of the keyboard slightly to the left or right, plops back down into the 10-degree position. Easy enough to put back, but annoying and extremely stupid from a design perspective.
Also, while the platform feels stable and solid in either position, note that there are 6 points of contact with the desk in the 10-degree position and only 4 points of contact in the 15-degree position. Again, it feels solid in either position, but very strange design decision. This is not a flaw, however. The non-locking position switching mechanism most definitely is a flaw.

?Max Height at 15 degrees slope: 3 1/16 inches ?Max Height at 10 degrees slope: 2 1/2 inches ?Weight: 1/2 lbs Freestyle VIPTM Accessory Features: The VIP (V-Lifter and Integrated Palm Supports) accessories attach easily to the base of the Solo Keyboard allowing quick and reproducible slope settings of 10 and 15 degrees. Features include: ?Left and Right V-Lifters: the V-lifter quickly and easily alternates the slope of the keyboard from 10 to 15 degrees, positioning your forearms and wrists in a more comfortable position by reducing pronation. ?Integrated, padded palm supports ensures that wrists are neutral while resting. ?Use with or without the pivot/tether. The pivot tether connects the two keying modules of the Solo keyboard together. Disconnect the pivot tether if greater separation is required. ?Provides a highly stable typing platform with no "bounce".Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
