KINESIS AC930 V3 Pro Lifters (Tenting for Freestyle Pro & Edge), Black

I have been using the Kinesis Freestyle 2 for years and recently upgraded to the Freestyle Pro keyboard. I tried the "wrist rests + lifters" in the past and knew that I just wanted the lifters only for the Freestyle Pro keyboard. I was happy with the old "lifters only" version and I'm again satisfied by the new lifters. They are very sturdy for my typing 6+ hours a day. It's unfortunate they cost so much and are not included and are not compatible with the wrist rests if you decide you want them later. However, one thing that is very important to me is that the keyboard be near the front edge of the desk as close to my body as possible and if you get the wrist rest version, you are placing the keys several inches farther away and that would not work for my setup, so keep that in mind if it's important to you. With the lifters-only version (this one I'm reviewing), you can put the keyboard right on the front lip of the desk. In summary, yes these are expensive for what they are and are fundamental to the keyboard being ergonomic so it's disappointing to have to pay extra, but it really is worth it once you have it. I've been using these lifters on the Freestyle 2 and Freestyle Pro for years and my wrist pain is gone (yes it sounds like an ad, but it's true). Typing is much better using these and I like the biggest angle these offer which is 15 degrees, but I like that it gives you the options of 10 degrees or 5 degrees too. Nice design. I highly recommend these if you're getting a Freestyle Pro keyboard.

So comfortable and easy to use it really is a must have for the keyboard. Only wish is that it would integrate with the included palm rests. Can't have both, can only use one or the other, so the palm rests had to go

I'm sure the lift kit is fine for use without the palm rests, but why would you not use the palm rests!? This item should not be recommended for the Freestyle Edge or there should be much more clear that the palm rests prevent them from being attached. Practically false advertising.

The product info said it was compatible with the freestyle edge, but apparently not when you use the integrated palmrests. Back to balancing them in the other set that also doesn’t work with the keyboard.

As soon as you open the package, they make it clear that you have to buy a different set if you want to use your palm rests. Why was this not conveyed earlier. Is there some pretense that I expect to modify my keyboard after paying for discrete feet?In any case, this feels extremely predatory, and now I have paid $65 for some lift, which kinda feels like the intention. Good job swindling me, caveat emptor.In retrospect this is mentioned on the page under style. Kinda hard to know what you dont know and I think the listing could be impressed.Build quality is lovely (I work in hardware) and someone has done a very good job.

Great and easy to install.

As many have said, tenting should be included in a $200+ keyboard. Additionally, the fact that you need separate tenting options depending on if you want a palm rest or not is disappointing. However, if you know you want to rent the keyboard without a palm rest, this works very well

At first you might find that 10 and 15 degrees fall down too easily. I mistakingly thought that this product was unusable, but after I looked up the manual online, I found out that you have to fold AND snap the leg pieces together in order to make 10 and 15 degrees secure. This is in addition to snapping the lifter pieces onto the keyboard itself. It takes quite a bit of force to snap the legs together, so it's not very obvious. Also, my unit did not come with an instruction manual since I bought it used. But after you do this, the 10 and 15 degrees will be very secure.Original Review:I wanted to like this, but the 10 degrees tilt falls down way too easily with the slightest amount of pressure on the keyboard. You basically can't rest your hands on the keyboard at all, or it will fall down all the way to 5 degrees. The angle of the legs in 10 degree mode is just too unstable. The rubber legs need to be a lot wider to prevent it falling down.5 and 15 degrees are very stable, but I find 5 degrees to be too low to be any benefit, while 15 degrees is too high. 10 degrees gives it roughly the same angle as my Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic keyboard, but the instability is very annoying.
