Review on πŸ’» White Perixx PERIDUO-212W Wired Mini Keyboard and Mouse Set with USB Connection by Brad Bowers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ok cheap backup keyboard but not for regular use.

I'll update this review after some use. The weather got a little colder and the keys got pretty cramped. Shift stuck today (actually causing data loss due to poor interaction with my particular editor). In general, I find that keys often miss because they get stuck and don't go all the way if you don't press hard enough, so I have to press the backspace retype key many times. It's meant to be a great keyboard, for example for booting, or for minimal administration on a computer you don't normally use, or as a backup emergency keyboard (it's reliable in the sense that it works great for both fast and slow typing) , but I wouldn't recommend typing or working on it regularly. (I used it for my second computer, which I only use occasionally, but even there it's too annoying.) It deserves a downgrade to 3 stars because it's cheap. (It would have gotten 1 star for a higher price.) I am still looking for a replacement for my BTC 6100C which was the same price but has been used happily. [old review below] I use it as a secondary keyboard and mouse for conversations. to my Raspberry Pi and the like, which is good and very good. The keys are fairly deep with long travel for a thin keyboard and a bit sloppy, so not a very comfortable tactile feel if you don't like friction on keystrokes. But it still feels quite light, which is very good for its class. However, the keys on the edges require a bit more force to press due to the angle of attack, so the Shift key, for example, often misses unless I press very hard. It gets hard on little fingers over time, so I wouldn't want to type much. (But I don't know of a better keyboard in this price range.) I miss my BTC 6100C, which was thinner than this one with a light, friction-free and precise keystroke that is suitable for sustained use despite being fairly cheap. unfortunately it is no longer produced. If anyone can recommend a replacement for this, please say.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Hard to remember but it was
