Review on πŸ–₯️ Perixx PERIDUO-406: Wired Mini Ergonomic Split Keyboard and Vertical Mouse Combo with Adjustable Palm Rest, Tilt Scroll Wheel, and Low Profile Keys - US English Layout by Karen Gaiser

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not the best ergonomics on computer accessories and peripherals

Good: small footprint, shared style, no attached number pad (easy-to-reach mouse) Bad: everything else. It's a cheap copy of the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard, but it's not ergonomic. Split keyboard β‰  ergonomic. Not nearly as comfortable as the ergonomic Microsoft Sculpt keyboard. I've found myself having to constantly hit backspace and retype keys. This is because the buttons get stuck. Sometimes the Shift key works and sometimes it doesn't. The buttons stick depending on the angle at which you drag the button. For example, pressing the same key repeatedly works well, but when you reach for a key from somewhere else, its behavior changes. Due to inconsistencies (because of the super cheap quality) it is impossible to get used to the feel of the keyboard. The trend is to trample every key in anticipation of failure. *** THEY literally joked about the definition of ergonomics. *** I don't know who makes Perixx products, but this is a joke. The definition of ergonomics is that a keyboard should be comfortable to use and NO PAIN AS I FEEL NOW TO WRITE THIS REVIEW. The feeling is terrible and after 10 minutes of use my wrist literally hurts. *** NOT FOR GAME *** If you use it for gaming, you won't have the control you need. The buttons are sticky so you miss the crucial moment when you need to perform an action. Option: If you want a compact, ergonomic keyboard, get the Microsoft Sculpt L5V-00001. They are available on Revain. The reviews don't match the quality. If I had to put these keyboards side by side, Sculpt 7 and Perixx would get zero. Why zero? Because it doesn't even offer the comfort it's advertised for. DISCLAIMER: I have written hundreds of reviews for Revain but this product is at the bottom as I can't emphasize my disappointment with the quality. If they gave it to me for free I would just throw it in the trash.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
