Perixx PERIBOARD-409H Wired USB Compact Mini Keyboard with 2 USB Hubs, Logo Free, UK QWRETY, Black

True it is just a very reasonably priced, compact keyboard and should be judged as such. I've given it five stars because it is well made and simply works well.

I’m giving this 5 stars because it did exactly what I needed it to do, and the price was very reasonable. The compact size was perfect for my setup, and despite being small, it’s comfortable to type on. It didnt give me the WOW factor but I cant think of anything to mark it down. It’s simple, effective, and worked straight out of the box without any issues. For the price, I couldn’t ask for more—it’s a no-frills keyboard that gets the job done perfectly. If you’re looking for something reliable and budget-friendly, this is a great option!

I've been trying to get a replacement for a USB mini keyboard for ages, since my original's right ctrl key packed up. Why is this relevant? Because this keyboard was all I could find that was similar: the 'Del/Home/PgUp/PgDn/End/-> column on the right side, small form factor, Fn key. It's got lots of sniny black bits and the keys are excellent, better than the old one. And the USB ports work fine. BUT No power button; not recognised on bootup; Fn+F1 (which did standby on the old KB) does nothing and can't be remapped; oh and the 'Num Lock' key is labelled 'Pause Break'. The lack of a Windows logo is a bit fishy too, not that I mind, it's just fishy. So altogether, it's not 100% satisfactory. If these things matter to you, be advised. The lack of a power function and non-BIOS is quite a biggie, actually. So once WinXP (yes, XP) had run through 5 or 6 install approval dialogs, presumably for the USB slots, I tried to enable Hibernate, to see if that made a difference to the power settings, because you see, there aren't any on this KB. This meant that (1) my triple-monitor display was messed up (2) Windows remapped all my USB drives and (3) I had to completely reinstall from a Macrium image. All for a keyboard. At least it was only £20. And the very next day, the one I'd been trying to replace for a year turned up on eebeeay. For £6. Ain't that the way?

I really like this little keyboard! The typing experience is great, and it fits on my small round dining table for my work from home days. The one thing that would improve it would be a small amount of separation between the main keyboard area and the column of keys on the right; so your right hand could hang slightly over the edge of the Enter key and aid with touch typing.

For what this keyboard is, it's actually really good. It's a basic membrane board with no frills, but boasts a more compact size due to lacking a numpad and squishing some keys to make it smaller than a tenkeyless (TKL) keyboard. The end result for the layout is that it is a little odd, but something that I can easily get used to. For example, the End key is right next to the up arrow - print-screen is above backspace and so on. The right shift key is smaller than usual to make space for the arrow keys. The spacebar is smaller too. I would have to say that the only issue I have is that you have to be a little heavy-handed when typing to get the keys to push the membrane down. This is to be expected. I do like the older style non-chiclet / island key style layout though, I'm not much of a fan of chiclet keyboards on desktops. Overall, for the price I think it's pretty good. It does lack adjustable feet though - or any feet at all aside from little rubber ones to stop it from sliding about - so bare that in mind. It has a slight raised inclination.

I needed a low cost and compact keyboard to connect via PS/2 connector to my old Minidisc deck, in order to easily be able to title tracks. This works perfectly and is literally just plug and play. It’s good value for money and well built. Annoyingly, I should have got the version with the number keypad to the right, with num lock, as without it, there are some functions on the minidisc player I still have to use the remote for. But this was my oversight, and is a minor inconvenience.

What I have used this product for is that all the USB drivers on my windows 7 crashed so I needed a PS2 keyboard. This product is perfect for what I wanted to try and recover and repair my system where a USB keyboard no longer functions. Simply plug into the back of the PC using the Green It is a lovely size as smaller than a keyboard with calculator pad built in. still had the standard essential keys that you need. For me this was a great utility product and I could also use it for day to day home office work - typing letters and emails it is great :) Just the calculator pad is not included on the right hand side as usual so for doing accounts number crunching it would not be the best but obviously you cannot have it both way. Nice light keys to the touch. Product was delivered without any damage and no recorded faults since I bought it Overall very pleased with my purchase and got my out a technical problem with my PC Very good.

Nice typing on it. 2 USB ports also on the keyboard. Very handy.
