Many office professionals and gamers suffer from wrist strain and carpal tunnel symptoms due to poor typing posture. Maintaining a “bent” wrist position for hours at a time creates unnecessary pressure on the median nerve, leading to fatigue and long-term discomfort that can significantly hinder your daily productivity and well-being.
The Kinesis Freestyle2 Palm Supports & Pads (AC806) are specifically designed to transform your ergonomic setup. By providing a stable, cushioned surface for your palms, these supports allow your wrists to remain in a neutral, relaxed position. Engineered as the perfect companion for the Freestyle2 keyboard, this accessory is a must-have for anyone serious about creating a pain-free workstation.
Key Features

Why It’s Worth Buying
Investing in the Kinesis AC806 palm supports is an investment in your long-term health. Unlike generic wrist rests that move around on your desk, these supports lock directly onto your keyboard, ensuring they stay exactly where you need them. The cushioned pads provide the perfect amount of give—firm enough to support your weight, but soft enough to prevent pressure points. This setup is particularly effective when used with the Freestyle2 VIP3 or V3 lifters, as it maintains support even when the keyboard is tented, providing a comprehensive ergonomic solution.
