Product Description
Attach the Lift Kit to your Freestyle Edge to “tent” the keyboard 5˚, 10˚, or 15˚. Tenting the keyboard puts your wrists in a more natural position which reduces hand and arm strain. Use the Lift Kit for maximum comfort during extended gaming sessions. Once you tent, you’ll never want to use a flat keyboard again!
*Lift Kit requires the use of the detachable Palm Supports. For tenting without Palm Supports choose the V3 Pro Lifters. Keyboard not included.*Elevate your game!
- Enhanced comfort
- Fewer breaks
- Increased stamina
- Quicker reflexes
The Science behind tenting
- Conventional flat keyboards force you play with your palms facing directly towards the deskop, a posture requiring static muscle tension.
- The more you play, the more that tension adds up. And over time, it can reduce your effectiveness or even knock you out of the game completely.
- The Lift Kit elevates the thumb-side of your hand which puts your forearm in a more natural position.
- Research has shown that tenting relieves forearm tension for maximum comfort and stamina.
Easy to install, easy to adjust
- The left and right v-Lifters clip into the bottom of the Freestyle Edge and can easily be adjusted to three different heights depending on your preference.
- Start at the lowest 5˚ setting to get acclimated, and then experiment with 10˚ and 15˚ to see what works best for your typing and gaming style.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I did read some negative reviews about the kit being flimsy but I have not found that to be the case. It snaps into place and is quite sturdy. I suspect the reviewers hadn't installed the kit correctly. That said, I'm not using this for gaming, just typing. Anyhow, if you're suffering from wrist pain or healing from broken wrists, I can't recommend this (along with the kinesis split keyboard) highly enough! Do wish the two came together though, it is kind of silly that you have buy this separate.
It works well, keeps the keyboard stable, and provides three different tenting angles--5, 10, and 15 degrees--that seem likely to satisfy most people.
If you don't need multiple angles, and have a 3D printer, you could save a few bucks by printing out your own supports and save the time needed to complain here about how expensive they are or the fact that they don't come with the keyboard.
Judging by the reviews, it bears mentioning that if you want to use the 10 or 15 degree settings you need to "snap together" the two leaves of the supports. They snap and unsnap easily.
Oddly, both sets I've gotten are a dark gray, rather than black like the keyboard they connect to. They are close enough to coordinate, but it won't matter because you'll never see this support, which sits underneath the keyboard.
Pros:
+ Improve ergonomics even further by allowing tilting of split keyboard halves
+ Further reduces shoulder strain, takes almost no getting used to
Cons:
- In their most 'stable' position (the 'middle' position), each side is only held in place by four tiny, cheap rubber pads that easily fall out if you slide the keyboard around too much
- In the other two positions (low and high), they are only held in place by two of these cheap rubber pads
- In it's highest setting, it just frankly doesn't stay put at all. Any amount of side to side pressure and it falls over. Any amount of trying to move it around on the desk makes it fall over. Just really disappointing as this is the setting I would prefer to use, but I just can't because it isn't stable enough to use
- To get past the low setting, you need to click the two floppy halves of these things together, and I really just can't stress enough how cringe inducing this is. You have to push incredibly hard to get it to pop into place and it makes such a loud noise that I thought I broke it the first time. I am not going to push my luck and test it, but I really don't imagine this joint would survive multiple openings and closings.
Really a shame that this is the only option out there for lifting this keyboard, because I love the keyboard itself.
