I have 3 of these. various models

I originally bought the Perixx-406 Ergonomic Mini Keyboard with flat, short-travel keys. I really liked it and didn't know there was a long travel version of this mini keyboard with curved keys. I prefer long-travel, curved keys for touch typing. Realizing that they also make the Perixx-413B, which has keys that look more like a regular keyboard but in a mini package, I ordered it and was hooked. It's about 75% larger than my regular ergonomic keyboard, and while it's larger than other mini keyboards I've bought for travel, I found the trade-off between functionality and portability to be worth it. It's quite comfortable in the backpack I carry my laptop in, but it's worth it and it's amazing. That being said, I was tired of having all the chords and having to wrap them around the keyboard as I put them together; So I bought the wireless model 613B. I like the wireless version; However, I've found that depending on the distance from my laptop/computer and the speed I'm typing at, sometimes the stroke doesn't appear on the document I print. I've never experienced this with any other keyboard and have since reverted to the wired version. All in all, the wired version with long-travel curved keys is my favorite of all the portable keyboards I own. and I have several. If you're looking for a very small portable keyboard, this isn't for you. If you're looking for a small, ergonomic keyboard with the same features as a full-size keyboard that you can take with you on the go, then this is a solid choice.

Pros
  • Keyboards, mice and accessories
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
