Clear Silicone Keyboard Cover Compatible with Kinesis Freestyle2 - Skin Protector for Split Keyboard - Anti-Dust, Waterproof, Easy to Clean for Kinesis Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboards

I'll start this review by saying I own two of these covers. which I bought for a Freestyle 2 keyboard (for work) and a Freestyle Edge (for home), so I'm writing this review for both. For the Freestyle 2 keyboard that the cover is specifically made for: the fit is perfect, and yes, it does add a little bit of resistance to the typing force needed, but just a little bit. It does what it's supposed to and keeps stuff from falling into the cracks between the keys. It's easy to clean and stays put on the keyboard while I'm vacuuming it off. I've now owned and used the cover for the Freestyle 2 for over a year with no noticeable wear, even with heavy daily use. For the Freestyle Edge, it fits mostly well, but: 1) it doesn't cover the four extra keys at the top of the keyboard (profile/macro/remap/settings), 2) the Caps, R Shift, and R Ctrl keys are wider on the Edge, so the cover doesn't fit over those keys and will bulge awkwardly in the immediate area, and 3) on the top row, the Edge has two small keys (Print Screen and Pause) in place of the wide Delete key on the Freestyle 2, so there will be two keys under the cover designed for one wide key, but the cover still lies flat, and both buttons are still usable. Of these issues, #2 is most noticeable/annoying, but the cover is still usable, and it doesn't significantly affect my typing speed or reduce protection of the spaces between the keys, so I'm fine with it overall, especially as a stopgap measure. I would have preferred a more perfectly fitting cover for the Freestyle Edge (and will very likely buy one if one becomes available), but as that doesn't seem to exist at the moment, this cover will do in the meantime, and I'm willing to put up with a slightly suboptimal fit to avoid another coffee-spill catastrophe. The mechanical keys still click satisfyingly while typing, as they should. That said, someone please make a cover specific for the Freestyle Edge!

id give this skin a solid 4 out of 5 - ive noticed on the kinesis freestyle 2 rgb keyboard the shift key on the right side of the keyboard and the caps lock key is a little off center causing it to rise a bit;. it seems like an easy fix and i guess i can cut some of it off to make it fit, but that defeats the entire purpose of a skin. its rather tacky feeling and i dont mind it all, makes it much easier to type than some of those slippery plastic ones and it does somewhat stay on the keyboard. just know that its a not a perfect fit and the price point is for a premium item .... very expensive for what it is.

Ita helpful, protects my keyboard and my fingertips.

It fits my keyboard perfectly and prevents stuff from getting in the keyboard. More importantly, my coworkers no longer have to hear my fingernails loudly clacking against the keys. It’s not as transparent as I would like and one edge has a little chunk missing/torn off, so I deducted one star.

Wanted to like this due to needing protection on an expensive keyboard, but it just does not fit.

Some of the bad reviews are due to not clearly reading what the product is. This is just a silicone cover for a specific keyboard: the Kinesis Freestyle2 or Kinesis Freestyle2 Blue. It is not the keyboard. I do think the price is a bit much, but since it is designed for a specific keyboard in mind it likely isn't a frequent seller the higher price due to lower demand. It works well if the keyboard is by itself or if it has the VIP lift kit and wrist supports. Fits perfectly, and I'm glad to have protection for an expensive keyboard.

The product itself seems solid, works good. Unfortunately I have a Freestyle Edge and the keys don't *quite* match properly. The Caps Lock, Right Shift, and Right Control keys on the Edge are a bit too big to be a perfect fit for this cover, leaving it kind of popped up in spots. Other than that, works great feels good. Would definitely 10/10 buy another if they make one for the Edge specifically

Kinesis keyboard is great, however this cover is not worth for me. First of all, covers are folded and squashed in package, hence leaving edge unflattened. Second, They are thick and semi-transparent, not easily see underneath keys. Third, only get keys covered, good fit, but leave top portion, LED indicators, and palm rest in the dust. No cover for my little sweetheart keypad. And just know that Kinesis doesn't make any keyboard covers. This overpriced piece is likely to get sticky and moldy over time. Better to clean keyboard regularly than use cover protection.

Sounds like the other reviewers are trying to use this cover for anothery Kinesis keyboard. I was surprised how easily it just fit onto my Freestyle2. Only complaint is you have to push harder on the keys. Still haven't gotten used to that yet and it might cause me only to use the cover when I'm eating, drinking or smoking, which is what I bought the cover for. The thing goes on and pulls off so quickly, that won't be a problem. UPDATE: so been about ten months of use now and I no longer consider having to press the keys harder an issue - have gotten used to it, plus I suspect as I wore the cover in, it's easier to press the keys. And I can see the letters on the keys just fine. Going to order a spare cause I find this invaluable, and whever I remove to clean, my keyboard looks brand new!

Mine was very poorly packaged, completely crushed the cover was half out the crushed package, box completely destroyed but, the cover was still ok and its a good product but it DOES change the look and feel of your keyboard, so if you bought the keyboard for the tactile feel, this will change that completely. You do kind of get used to it over time but you won't enjoy the feel.

Good fit, but it's only clear if you look straight down at your keyboard. Looking at it on an angle, it is a bit foggy.
