Perixx PERIBOARD-409H Wired USB Mini Keyboard with 2 USB Hubs, Black, US English Layout

I love this keyboard. It's nice and compact with a low profile, easy to toss into the laptop bag and take on the road. The touch is nice and light, with well-sculptured key caps and a good amount of travel. The layout is very convenient, with the Home/End/PageUp/PageDown functions accessible as a vertical row at the right side of the keyboard without needing to use the Fn key. My only complaint is that the key legends are painted on and will likely wear off quickly; I can already see some fading after just a few days of use. If the key caps were double-shot molded, I would rate this keyboard as perfect.

If you need a keyboard on a stand to hover over other hardware then look to this one. Price is nice, feel is very good, keys work well, usb cord just the right length for computer hub and most important it has a small foot print. German engineered, this board is better than the keyboard on your laptop. It does not have a height adjustment kick stand legs but it is on an angle when layed flat. I used a cord to hold it to my height adjusting swivel stand. Perfect to turn it if i have to. My former key pad was too wide which is the main reason i made this purchase & i got this used but it looked brand new when it was shipped, on a sunday as well! Plastic was still on the top of the board with original package, box & etc.. good job from the seller. 2 days and im back to mixing & typing.

Like. Makes for a great backup keyboard given its small form factor. Nice aesthetics. I cannot comment on sturdiness, have not used it long enough. While it feels reasonably well made, I have my doubts as to the long-term sturdiness and expected longevity given the low price. My principal keyboard is a Logitech bluetooth wireless. Every so often, it disconnects from my computer preventing me from typing my password to login. So ...., one needs a backup wired keyboard to use for login and reinstalling the wireless keyboard driver. This happens too, periodically, with the wireless mouse. So best to keep a wired keyboard and mouse handy. Dislike. The wired portion is very stiff PVC vinyl so for those who will be using this item as their primary keyboard will have trouble keeping it straight. In other words, the wire is not smooth and floppy so all the kinks and bends will be noticeable (lots of cable clutter). The wire is also very long which will be great for people who like to sit far from the computer and monitor (???) but a drag for those looking to minimize cable clutter. Given this price point, this is a disposable consumer item. It does not look like it can be easily recycled (so 1 ⭐️ for its high environmental impact). Overall. Works great for my need (low cost, backup wired keyboard with low expected use). No conflict of interest: I received NO compensation (e.g., cryptocurrency, cash, wage, salary, coupon, gift card, item-in-trade, discount, reimbursement, free merchandise, or other financial inducement) whatsoever for this item and my review of same. I have NO affiliation whatsoever with the seller or manufacturer of this item. I purchased this item for personal use.

The problem I was trying to solve by buying this was that my old keyboard has a number pad on it and is really long. I don't need a number pad and there were times when there was too much distance between the right side of the keyboard and my mouse, which became very inconvenient. So I bought this keyboard. The price is good, the keys feel good when they type, and the key action is fine. The size of the keyboard is good. Sometimes I arrange things on my desk in several different ways, and the old keyboard was too long to fit in some of the locations where I was putting it. This is much smaller so that is good. Cord length is fine, and I was able to plug it in and use it immediately. I like the fact that the keys are dedicated and aren't sharing functions with other keys (there aren't 2 functions on the same key that you have to select from, like there are on some other keyboards). Basically it is good. The biggest downside that I see is that the location of the scroll lock key is such that somehow I keep hitting it by accident and a blue light comes on (out of the 3 lights that can come on at the upper left side, it's the one on the far right). Nothing bad happens as a result of this, just the blue light is annoying. To fix it I just hit the scroll lock key again and it's over. So it's easy to fix. But this does happen on a semi-regular basis. Sometimes the caps lock key comes on when I hit it by accident (center light), but that used to also happen on my old keyboard sometimes so I don't think there is any change in that compared to the old. Mostly it is the scroll lock key I hit by accident. I recommend that you don't throw away the little manual that comes with it, because the lights aren't labeled clearly, so if the scroll lock light comes on, you will have to look up what the light is in the manual in order to turn it off. I don't use the function keys that often so it's mostly irrelevant, but the function keys aren't labeled. But they also aren't labeled on a lot of other keyboards. So that's not different than my old keyboard. Overall, I am satisfied and this keyboard has solved my issue of removing the number pad and being able to fit better on my desk in certain configurations. I've only been using this a few days so this review is based on using it that length of time. If there was more space between the main keys and the scroll lock key so I don't keep hitting it, I'd say this is almost perfect. But it's fine and I like this better than the old keyboard so I'm satisfied with it.

I bought this for my daughter to use with our laptop. She gets a little rough with the keys while playing her games. This keyboard is nice and well made. I waited a bit to make a review to have her use it for awhile. I have grown to use it now myself and I have no complaints! It plugs in and works right away and I haven't had a single issue. Even after my daughter using it like crazy. We even have a wireless mouse and I have that plugged into the keyboard and again, no issues.

It's a very compact keyboard with a laptop look and "flat" keys feeling. I was going to return mine as space key didn't work properly - it worked only if pressed in the middle of the long space key. It was easy to pull that key out and I found that metallic bar inside was not properly inserted under the plastic hooks on the keyboard base. It was relatively easy to assemble that key back in a proper way so now I'm typing using that keyboard without problems but with that flat buttons feeling. It contains 2 extra usb ports which I need, so I'll try to work with it for 1-2 weeks to decide if I can tolerate that flat feeling.

I like the feel and action of they keys. More comfortable than the chiclet style keys. Wish it was backlit but the price was right.

My son has a computer desk with one of those drawers that slides out for the keyboard/mouse. Unfortunately, we had a full sized keyboard with a numpad, and it left very little space for the mouse to move around. This keyboard allows him to have a lot more space so he can still play games and not have to put the mouse on top of the desk. It too can fit on the little keyboard tray side by side with this smaller keyboard. Additionally, the 2 USB ports on the back of the keyboard make it easy for him to connect a Game Controller or Jump Drive (as he has an older computer without front-usb ports, so it's hard to get to the ports that are only accessible on the back of the PC)
