Kinesis FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard

As the market leader in computer ergonomics, Kinesis has been designing and building premium-grade ergonomic keyboards for more than 25 years. The all-new FORM Split Touchpad Keyboard features a fixed split design with an integrated Windows Precision Touchpad, delivering a streamlined, all-in-one ergonomic solution that emphasizes comfort, efficiency, and long-term health. Built to support extended work sessions, the FORM merges the familiar, satisfying typing experience you expect from a high-end keyboard with the precision navigation of a built-in touchpad. It’s a thoughtfully engineered device designed to reduce strain, improve posture, and boost productivity across demanding tasks such as coding, writing, data analysis, and design work. Whether you’re aiming to eliminate tension in your shoulders or simply want a more natural typing posture, the FORM is crafted to fit into modern workspaces while empowering you to stay focused and comfortable throughout the day.

• Ergonomic fixed split design: The FORM Split keeps forearms aligned and wrists in a neutral position, promoting a natural typing arc that minimizes repetitive strain and supports comfortable use over long typing sessions. Its fixed layout eliminates the guesswork of adjustable tents or split angles, offering a reliable ergonomic baseline for consistent performance.
• Integrated Windows Precision Touchpad: A responsive, multi-touch touchpad is built directly into the keyboard, delivering precise cursor control and gesture support without the need to switch between a mouse and keyboard. This all-in-one setup streamlines workflows, enabling rapid navigation, accurate selections, and smooth scrolling with familiar Windows gestures.
• All-in-one productivity hub: Beyond typing, the FORM consolidates navigation, shortcuts, and macros into a single device. Use programmable keys and customizable shortcuts to accelerate common tasks, reduce hand movement, and keep essential commands within easy reach—ideal for developers, writers, analysts, and designers who rely on fast, efficient workflows.
• Premium build and durability: Crafted from high-quality materials, the FORM emphasizes stability, quiet operation, and long-term reliability. A thoughtfully engineered chassis and dependable key switches deliver a satisfying tactile feel, while a robust construction supports daily use in busy work environments.
• Simple setup and broad compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly into most Windows-based setups, the FORM offers straightforward plug-and-play use with optional software for customization. The combination of a fixed ergonomic layout and integrated touchpad makes it an attractive upgrade for professionals seeking an all-in-one ergonomic solution without sacrificing ease of use.
