Evaluation Split Keyboard

23-04-2010

An intensive five-month study conducted by Atlas Ergonomics found that 96% of the participants preferred to use the Kinesis Freestyle keyboard over their initial keyboard, and 84% of those users preferred to completely split the Freestyle farther apart than the market’s best selling split design.

From May through November 2009, Atlas Ergonomics reviewed the impact of the Freestyle keyboard’s unique split design on posture, comfort, and performance among approximately 80 software manufacturing employees. The study focused on the positions of the hands and upper extremities during keyboard use.

Participants were provided with the Freestyle keyboard and VIP accessory that could be set in many different positions, from simply angled to widely apart, to suit each individual’s size, shape, habits and workstation. Data on posture and upper-body discomfort were gathered prior to use of the new keyboards, and employees were tracked for up to five months after the new keyboards were introduced.

With no decrease in performance or productivity, participants adopted a variety of positions, consistently discovering set-ups that significantly improved their posture (54% to 71% reduction in ulnar deviation) and reducing neck/upper extremity discomfort by as much as 79%.
