provided tenting from 20–90° in 10° increments. Also that year, Kinesis released a version of the Freestyle for Macintosh. The different versions could be distinguished by model number (KB700PB for the PC version, and KB700MW for the Macintosh version) and color (black for PC, white for Mac). In 2012, the Freestyle2 (KB800) was introduced in PC and Mac versions; externally, the most visible improvement was a reduction in keyboard height/thickness. A matching low-profile numeric keypad was available. The Freestyle2 Blue was released in 2015, updating the Freestyle2 with a multi-channel Bluetooth wireless connection. Freestyle2 was released with an updated VIP3 (AC820) tenting accessory, but remained compatible with the V3 (AC730) and Ascent (AC740). The Freestyle Edge was created by the Kinesis Gaming brand as a Kickstarter project in 2017; it incorporated mechanical keyswitches into the split-module Freestyle design. Backers had a choice of Cherry MX blue, brown, or red switches in a keyboard with blue backlighting. Updates followed in 2018 (Freestyle Pro, which deleted the backlighting and was aimed at business/office users with brown and red keyswitches) and 2019 (Freestyle Edge RGB, which added RGB backlighting). The Edge and Pro were released with updated VIP3 (AC910/AC925) and V3 (AC930) tenting accessories, the former bundled with palm rests. Advantage 360 In 2021, Kinesis announced the Advantage 360, which combined aspects of the Advantage (contoured, linear key layout) and Freestyle (individual split left/right key modules). It is available as the standard version, which uses USB-C ports to link the halves to each other and to the computer, and the Professional version, which uses Bluetooth Low Energy to link the halves together and to the computer; for the Professional, the link to the computer can be made using a USB-C cable if desired. In addition, the Professional model uses an open-source ZMK programming engine, while the regular 360 uses the Kinesis SmartSet engine. The Professional has white backlighting, while the regular 360 has none. Preorders opened in December 2021, limited to 360 reservations. Applications The Kinesis line of keyboards are marketed to those who type throughout the work-day, and thus perceive a higher risk for such injuries as RSI. The Kinesis was first used among computer programmers, who continue to be the primary market for the devices. In popular media Kinesis keyboards have appeared in films and television shows, including: Contact (1997) Men in Black (1997) Flubber (1998) NetForce (1999) See also Physical
