This truly split keyboard has an integrated [[trackpad]].

It was made to be mounted on a chair. A long coiled cable connects the two halves.
The host cable splits into two cable with a large DIN and a 9-pin DSUB. It could have come with adapters to PS/2.

One notable detail is that the numeric row's '''6''' key is present on both halves. 
There are normal indicator lights inside Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock keys, but also in the up-arrow key.

It is manufactured with [[Cherry MX Brown]] switches.
It has also been manufactured with [[Alps SKCM White]] switches.

The keyboard was originally by ''Workplace Designs, Inc.'' as the ''Floating Arms Keyboard'' (FAK).

==Programming==
Like many Kinesis keyboards, this keyboard is programmable. Here are some of key sequences to do that.
 
* scrlck-f12 <x> <y> scrlck-f12              : remap key y to key x
* scrlck-f11 <x> <y0> <y1> <y...> scrlck-f11 : assign macro <y0..n> to key <x>
* scrlck-shift-f10                           : soft reset (chord in that order)
* scrlck-f9                                  : ?
* powerup holding f7                         : reset all macros and keymaps
