Narrow foot print for comfortable mousing and keying. At only 15 3/8 inches wide the Freestyle2 provides for close placement of any pointing device reducing over reach issues. Pivot Tether™ Both modules are connected together by a flexible pivot tether allowing an infinite range of splay and greatly reducing ulnar deviation. Re-designed slide release button The slide release button has been re-designed, making for an effortless disengagment of the pivot tether from the keyboard module. Provides total separation of both keyboard modules Disconnecting the pivot tether allows up to 9 inches of complete separation of both left and right keying modules. Perfect for individual needs ranging from a narrow footprint to complete separation.
