I play games a lot on my computer and do love the Freestyle keyboard, which allows me to have a more natural tilt to my wrists and forearms, as well as a good separation of my hands. However, they don't last long at all before the keys start becoming inoperable, even after being cleaned. My first Freestyle lasted eight months and my second one lasted only five months.

Over the years I've owned Fujitsu keyboards, IBM model M, Northgate Omnikey ultra, logitech, and various newer ibm and dell keyboards. As a programmer, I began to develop a mild case of RSI. I never liked those microsoft ergo keyboards, so I decided to try one of these kinesis freestyles. I'm glad I did. Best Keyboard I've ever owned, both in terms of tactile feel, and ergonomics. You need to buy the VIP kit though. I'm not really a fan of the angle attachments, but the wrist extensions are absolutely essential. Having the angle attachments is nice though, because sometimes you just need to switch things up a bit to minimize fatigue. Ever since I bought this keyboard the RSI symptoms have completely disappeared. I've since bought the same keyboard to use at home as well as at work.

I've been a transcriber for many years now. I've long been experiencing pain in my fingers, wrists and elbows caused by repetitive strain, carpal tunnel and "tennis elbow". Each day I work leaves me feeling like I want to cut off my arms rather than type another letter.
In an effort to extend my career and continue to support my family, I decided to make an investment in the Freestyle keyboard. It's like typing on a cloud! It has taken a little to get used to, both the soft touch and the different (ergonomic) angle, but this keyboard has now found a permanent place on my desk. I was a bit leery about spending so much on a keyboard but it's worth every single penny. Very high quality, very comfortable feel, coupled with the VIP accessory you just cant go wrong.

I work in product design, and most of the workspaces I see are set up one of two ways: With the mouse dead center (or off a little to the right) and the keyboard above it OR with the keyboard dead center and the mouse way off to the right. Both are compromises.
Most keyboards have the cursors and the number pad in the most advantageous position possible for solo use of the right hand. Sadly, that leaves the mouse out of the picture. With a standard keyboard, suddenly the mouse (which you use all the time) is way off to the right. By foregoing the number pad, your mouse hand will be happier. If you're an accountant or a number cruncher, put a separate number pad in a prominent position. If you're someone who works in a graphic discipline, put the pad out of the way, not the mouse. And if you're like 90% of the population who doesn't know how to use a ten-key by touch, don't even use the number pad.
For those reasons I'd suggest this keyboard over Kinesis's more expensive Contour keyboard (which has a huge learning curve, and is hard for big handed people like me). For the Freestyle, because you can adjust the angle, it's comfortable for me with my wrists back on the pads, or for small users who've sat at my desk closer together. And it can be pushed together to mimic a normal keyboard for traditionalists. The accessory kit makes the keyboard however. I would not recommend it as a standalone.
The construction is sturdy except for the pin that connects the two parts, which fatigues when the accessory kit is used. Keytouch is light, so people are correct that it doesn't respond with a clackity clack. For that, get the DAS keyboard. Your co-workers or spouse will want to kill you, but you'll get the feel of an old IBM selectric.
I've tried at least 15 different keyboards and maybe the same number of mouses/trackballs. This is the only keyboard that had the right balance of ergonomics with traditional layout such that a 20 year touch typist like me didn't need to relearn too much, but that my wrist and shoulder pain quieted. I bought another for work on my own dime. It's that helpful.
ADDENDUM: This keyboard is extremely water sensitive. It's awesome, but even if just a little bit of water is spilled on a counter where it comes into contact with the bottom of the keyboard, the whole keyboard will fail permanently. Not for messy surfaces.
