PERIBOARD-512

A fine ergonomic keyboard. Easy to type on at speed. No stress on hands / wrists after some hours of use.

Perfect keyboard to replace my more expensive MS split one. This is a QWERTY keyboard with UK layout, as in, the 'at' key, (symbol @) is in the normal place- centre row, third key from right. The keys make a noise when you press them, so if you want silent keys, don't get this keyboard. Wrist rest is hard plastic but is angled to make hands and wrists feel comfortable and the plastic of the entire keyboard is the same - as in, keys, wrist rest and frame - and is smooth to the touch. All keys are at the right angle to use The Home, End Delete keys etc, are vertical in two columns of three keys each, as opposed to three columns of two keys each, as on standard keyboards and so take a bit of getting used to - I've pressed page up instead of end, by accident a few times. Overall, I am keeping this keyboard as it is the cheapest split keyboard I can find, and it feels very comfortable to use for 'on and off' typing like browsing, shopping, emails etc. I have not typed for hours yet, so cannot comment on that. Was using this for a while before I noticed it has two feet underneath to raise up the keyboard, but I find it too high, so I leave it flat. Plastic of this keyboard feels warm after a while, so helps with my cold hands!!

I've been through three Microsoft natural keyboards, and with only relatively light use keys stopped working. With a recent need to work from home I needed another keyboard and thought I'd try the Perixx keyboard as an alternative to the Microsoft one. The layout is very similar. The positioning of the cursor keys could be better, but the main keyboard layout is good. The keys themselves are good and if anything feel better than the Microsoft natural keyboard. It could benefit from a support under the wrist rest to lift the front of the keyboard up a bit. If it lasts longer the Microsoft keyboards i'll be happy.

I purchased the Perixx PERIBOARD-512 Ergonomic Split Keyboard October 2022 for work and it is still going strong almost three years later. It is suitable for office, plug and play, and is of a 'standard keyboard quality'. It did not take me long to adjust to the split keyboard layout

Brilliant, keys a little noises, but that's probably my typing

I’ve had this keyboard for five and a half years and have used it every day at work. I work on it, and I like the layout as it helps me type quickly using touch typing. Everything still works, and the keys have not worn away, although it could do with a clean, lol! I would highly recommend it to anyone

I like the layout and size. My only criticism is the feel of the keys, as there isn't quite enough positive feedback and they feel a little "light", a little plasticky. But the keyboard is fine for typing at a decent speed (40-50 wpm), light gaming etc and the keys register correctly when pressed. The shape of the keyboard is comfortable and eases wrist strain. Very good for the price and no problems so far.

Like the others before me, I have compared this to the one I used before which was a windows ergonomic keyboard. I felt that this one appears slightly cheaper in quality but smaller and less bulky. The keys are definitely quieter than my older one. I also agree that the hand wrist support is odd, and needs getting used to. My older keyboard wrist support was higher and more cushioned. This one I feel is not really good enough based on the size of the keyboard itself, and yes your fingers seem to be higher than your wrists. So far, it just feels strange, so let's see if this causes any discomfort after time. My arms ache now but it might be because its new. Annoyingly the caps lock does work correctly though!! I do agree that the arrow keys and page up etc set of keys are in a strange position and will definitely take some getting used to. They seem to have been an afterthought and don't naturally fit with the feel of the keyboard itself. I type a lot, all day, most days, so I am hoping this offers the same overall support as my old windows ergonomic keyboard. But so far, so good.
