    They clearly have a corner on the market as evidenced by the price and the fact that it feels like a concept piece It works and does what I wanted it to do. I've got serious forearm pain. Now I can type with the keyboard halves in the vertical position, which prevents me from continuing to aggravate my muscles and tendons. For that reason I was willing to pay the outrageous price for this item.They clearly have a corner on the market as evidenced by the price and the fact that it feels like a concept piece. with a little R&D the overall design and construction could be improved, but there's no competition to make that happen.It weighs a ton which helps to keep it in place. Once you find the right placement, don't plan on moving it.After having it, I now realize that I could have just Velcro'd the keyboard halves to heavy book ends.While this produce does as advertised, I can't give it more than 3 stars due to the high price for such a seemingly low cost device. 3Perfect! It is rugged and heavily! 5Super Expensive, Super Durable, But not very flexible This was a great idea that never got completed. This tent puts your keyboard up as the picture described but the setup seems to very unnatural. Realistically you need to be able to rotate the keyboard pieces along 3 axises to get it to conform to the natural position your hands want to be in when typing like this. 1Nice, but $$$$ Works great. My only gripe is that I put the tenting at about 45 degrees, and the base of the unit sometimes slides out so the tenting drops to about 30 degrees every once in while. Oh, 2nd gripe, can't believe the cost is almost $200 for a piece of medal. Guess they know they have you by the you know what when you buy the keyboard. 4Expensive but awesom It's expensive. But using the kinesis with it is about 900 times better than using it without it.A couple comments suggest that it cannot be rotated. To clarify: you can rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise. Just don't attach the spreader bar. (I personally don't use the spreader bar, or really see the point of it.) You can tent it up or down as much as you like. You cannot tilt towards you or away from you, but I can't begin to imagine why anyone would want to do that.It's a quality addition to the kinesis freestyle, albeit a bit pricey. 5Does what it says, but not what I want I want to be able to rest my wrists on my desk and type with the keyboard vertical, but the keyboard with this tent doesn't let me do that; the problem is that the keyboard doesn't have the home keys at the bottom, but at the top, so to use it in the vertical I need to keep my arms floating which is tiring. And it is difficult to find the home keys if you lose them--the notch at the bottoms of the F an J keys are very small and hard to find (and it is not easy to look at the keyboard when you have it in the vertical).I disagree about needing to be able to adjust along all three axes; I do find that I need to rotate the keyboard so its angled away from me to be comfortable, but I think I would find tilting it towards or away from me just frustrating.I don't understand why the horizontal spreader bar is included; it is too short for what I find is a comfortable distance for me.The workmanship on this is very high though--very solid steel. I cannot say whether or not it is worth the money for you, but at least you don't need to worry that you're going to end up with something flimsy. 3Solid, Well-Built, Worth It Solid, well-built, highly adjustable. Not expensive if you compare it to the price of just one doctor visit or day of pain or disability. 5my only complaint is that when you use angles that approach 90 degrees there is no longer enough weight pushing down to hold the This stand is really expensive; twice as expensive as the keyboard itself. However, it does work well when combined with the keyboard to relieve my wrist pain. At first I was reluctant to buy it and when I first got the keyboard I just taped it to an empty box of printer paper as you can see in the picture I posted. That worked well enough and I used it that way for about 5 months. Since it fixed my wrist pain I decided to buy the real stand. It is very flexible, especially if you don't use the spreader bar which isn't really needed.Besides the price, my only complaint is that when you use angles that approach 90 degrees there is no longer enough weight pushing down to hold the keyboard perfectly still while you type like a horizontal keyboard would be. It is sturdy enough to use but there is a bit of bounce. This is a design issue that they could have solved by using closer tolerances in the stand (especially the hinge) or by adding some bushings. One side appears to be a little worse than the other. Since I don't intend to change positions a lot I may put some hot glue in there to stabilize it a bit more.If I were to get one of these keyboards for home use I would make my own stand out of cardboard like my prototype was because this is just too expensive. 3Expensive, but works This is unbelievably expensive for what it does. But this is the only thing that works for me. I felt that the natural resting position of my wrists was vertical. None of the other keyboards have a gradient that was "vertical" enough for me. This did. Deducting one star because of the price. 4Works for Me I never review things, but I feel the need to defend this product because it does not deserve a one star.I own two of these, I have one at work, and one at home. These keyboards definitely do conform to the natural position of my hands, especially relative to the way normal, and most ergonomic keyboards are designed. It is really that simple. 5
