Man, I should of checked here first. I ordered keyboard, wrist pads and lift kit from Kinesis website Saturday for full price - 15% coupon.
Of course I don’t have to wait a month for it., but is costing me $45 more.

NateRulesI don't like how you go on their website and it looks really reasonable (£120 here in the UK) but then you need to add extra's to get what they advertised in the first place making it around £200 and if you want the kit to make it a vertical keyboard (which is just some plastic) is nearer £320 and that's before adding the numb pad

NateRulesI know, screw me for pre-ordering this back in November. Over $200 all-in.

AD2017amWe've heard that feedback a lot and we totally understand where its coming from. There are a couple of factors that caused us to make tenting and palm pads separate. We like to make things modular so people don't have to pay for pieces they won't use (On our Freestyle2 line only ~50% of users tent. That number has been much higher for the Edge so far, closer to 80%, which is quite incredible). The other reason is that in the next month or so, we'll be introducing a 2nd tenting accessory ("V3 Pro kit") that connects to the Edge to enable tenting WITHOUT the Palm Supports. Also complicating matters is the fact that the tenting accessories are manufactured in Taiwan, the keyboards in China, and the palm pads in the USA... Ultimately what people really want is just a lower price point overall, and that's something we hope we can acheive as our volumes increase. Having said all that, we'll pass along your feedback to the team. Regarding the Num Pad, the Edge supports an embedded numeric 10-key in the Fn Layer, which is more ergonomic than an external keypad you have to reach for (or full-size keyboard that pushes your mouse further from your body). With the embedded keypad you never have to leave the home row. Have a great day!

KinesisI skill think that the extra's - particulally the tilt kit should be cheaper, as it is literally a few bits of plastic and you are asking £30 for it , same goes for pretty much all of the add on's excluding the number pad

KinesisOmg. Thank you for this upcoming tent-without-palm-rests option. I have been dreaming of this for YEARS!
