perixx PERIBOARD-413B UK, Compact Wired USB Split Keyboard, Ergonomic Design, Tenkeyless for Desktop and Laptop Users, UK QWERTY - Black

I ordered this keyboard as a replacement to my old keyboard which was slightly different to this one. This keyboard is wired and Initially I was worried it wouldn’t be as comfortable as different design, however this one is much more confortable. Easy to set up. Only down side was the noise of the keys when pressed, however takes no time to get used to it and I quite like the noise now and don’t notice it. Keys are raised so makes it easier for me to use. Looks a lot more expensive than what I paid for it and it fits perfectly on my desk, great size.

This is a great keyboard for someone who wants an inexpensive ergonomic layout, and has nostalgia for classic style keyboards. Keys are reasonably stiff and don't have a particularly deep action (but better than most laptops these days), but otherwise pretty comfortable to tap - particularly since they are full size. Unfortunately they are quite loud - both when pressed and when bottoming out - so not ideal in a shared workspace. The case is hard plastic, so the wrist rest is not padded, and the fixed angles mean that you may find yourself hitting the wrong key if you have already been using a split keyboard, particularly if you lack the habit of maintaining contact with the F & J home keys to situate your fingers. However, a fixed split/tent means the keyboard is easy to move around if you have to relocate your workspace frequently.Compatibility wise the keyboard paired up straight away with OSX but layout identification doesn't seem to be perfect: most special keys work fine (and keycaps are provided for swapping in CMD/Opt for Windows/Alt keys) but strangely Home and End don't work on all apps.

Super comfortable keyboard that I take with me when travelling. Very reliable 2.4ghz connection via the dongle means that I've never had any noticeable issues with it in use, which I can't say the same about other wireless devices I've had before, and so makes for an easy choice over Bluetooth when connecting to a laptop where you can just plug an go.

This is a great ergo keyboard for £25. Yes it's loud, yes it doesn't have a lot of fancy features, yes it's plasticy. But it's actually still a huge improvement from a regular keyboard for comfort, personally I find the sound level to be absolutely fine during the day. You just won't get this comfort / ergonomic value anywhere else for this price. Amazing value product and very happy with my purchase until I can afford something a bit more expensive over £100. But I'm in no rush since this keyboard is great. :)

I liked it. I have been using the c. £100 Microsoft Sculpt for some time now. (Beware... it can be hard to go back to a "straight" keyboard once you become used to the MUCH BETTER ergonomic designs.)I also like the narrow design. Not narrow because of tight spacing of keys. Narrow by eschewing the numeric keypad that normal on the right hand side. If you really need a numeric keypad, they are readily available as a separate item.But.a) I couldn't get the Bluetooth to work with my Android. (And what I could find with Google Search not encouraging.) (Worked fine with Windows.)b) The keys are "clattery". Doesn't bother me, but not to everyone's taste.c) The faces of the keys are flat and semi-glossy. Who cares? I need to look at my fingers as I type sometimes, and it isn't always easy to read the legends because of reflected light.I've highlighted potential "problems". But I DO like the keyboard.The similar Perixx Periduo-406 is described as having a "membrane" keyboard, which nearly stooped me buying it... but membrane keyboards have come a long way... very happy with that, too.

Been using my laptop keyboard for a long time and finally wrists started to feel uncomfortable.. thought i would give ergonomic keyboards a try and they are surprisingly difficult to find. Also wanted one that didn't have the number pad so that it's a bit more condensed.For what i got for the price (white USB for £30 at the time) i think it's a steal. It feels really nice to type on - hand-wrist-arm alignment is great and feels pretty natural - and sounds lovely. I do touch type and it didn't feel like a big transition.Of course it's a windows keyboard so am using Karabiner to re-map keys on my Mac. You can get access to all the function keys which is better than with a much more expensive Logitech Ergo which i also trialled - had issues with remapping those, am sure it's possible but i gave up.Only downside for me is that the wrist pad area isn't padded but it's a very minor thing. Also if you want something that doesn't sound as 'clicky' or has a softer feel on the key presses, this probably isn't for you.

The only thing negative is that you can't remove the plastic 'rest' for your wrists and the keyboard is raised.but I've had this a month and used it - great.Also the keys are very retro - big chunky and noisy click click. I like it - but its not a quiet keyboard!

This replaced a Microsoft Sculpt that finally gave up the ghost.Unlike the Sculpt, it has full travel keys. They have a positive feel to tell you if you've hit the key or not (without being too clicky).Palmrest is hard plastic, rather than the soft pad that I'm used to on previous keyboards, but it's not the problem that I'd feared.PrtSc is shared with F9, but I suppose them's the breaks when you opt out of a number pad.Comically large Enter is super satisfying to hit when you're mad with people ;-)
