@Kinesis will there ever be an RGB or just plain white led version?
I have one of these already and it's my favorite keyboard ever (and I have had 20+ mech boards now). I really want another one for my gaming setup (I used my current one for work) but honestly the blue LEDs just suck...
Please let us know If there are RGB or white led versions coming :-)

No issue kinesis edge keycaps have painted legends are easy to read with the back light off. I own a Kinesis edge, use it every day and unlike the most shine through caps (looking at massdrop ctrl) the Kinesis ones are very easy to see with out the back light. Kinesis has white paint over the keycaps legends / shine though. noted here: https://www.anandtech.com/show/11631/kinesis-freestyle-edge-split-gaming-keyboard-review/2

I got a Freestyle Pro with 'silent' red Cherry MX switches through German Amazon and the switches were so squeaky that I had to return it. My review for the FS PRO on amazon de contains a video illustrating this (there are only three reviews currently so it'll be easy to find).
I sure hope the non-silent switches offered here don't have the same issue!

Good for me: I bought one of these direct from Kinesis a couple years ago. Very cool keyboard and the onboard software is intuitive and clean. I really enjoyed being able to slide the right portion of the keyboard out of the way when it came time to game. I recommend the $50 worth of lift kit and palm rest components if you decide to get one. Having them all really brings out the full experiences intended in the keyboard's design.
Bad for me: Ultimately I ended up returning everything to Kinesis, which they kindly accepted for a full refund. I tried, but just could not deal with the solid blue backlight for the keycaps (!!!). I can't recall having met anyone who claims to have sensitivity to red light, but there are plenty of people, including myself, that are sensitive to blue light, particularly the intense kind emitted by LEDs. I don't understand manufacturers' insistence on embedding obnoxious blue LEDs in their hardware. I think Kinesis dropped the ball by opting for solid blue instead of user configurable RGB, or even just plain red. I would have paid an a bit more to keep the blue away.

Are red switches not available for this drop? The description still seems to imply that they are, but only blues and browns in the dropdown for me.

Absolutely love mine, though I'd love it even more if I could get some custom keycaps! At least for the spacebar(s), Esc key, etc.

I love my freestyle and my advantage, but my real end game is a split advantage! Please make one already!

ThallisSounds like you’re looking for an ergodox ergonomic keyboard.
Or maybe a dactyl for the curve similar to the advantage, though I don’t know if there are prebuilt versions of that
