Review on Experience Comfortable Typing With Perixx PERIBOARD-613W Mini Wireless Ergonomic Split Keyboard For Windows And Mac - Dual Mode Compatibility by Thomas Drew

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Does what you expect it to do.

I've used MS Sculpt keyboards for years. After my third one broke the other day I went to order another but they were out of stock. I pulled out an old MS 6000 ergo keyboard and realized I like the normal keyboard action more than the laptop-like keys on the sculpt. Since I hadn't looked in a while, I was going to check out some other keyboards and found this newly listed product.The keyboard is a little thick and bulky, which isn't much of a problem once you get used to it. I do find myself moving my hands a little bit, but that's probably because I don't use the keyboard 100% perfectly finger to key.As I used the Sculpt for years, I'm used to having no keypad, which is great. The keys strike okay for me, they do feel slightly slippery sometimes but that might be me. All in all this is a good keyboard with a shape similar to the MS Sculpts that's cheaper and doesn't have laptop keys. I think I can actually type faster with out pounding my fingers into the almost-no-action keys on the Sculpt.One revision that might be good. The Sculpt has a plastic bracket so you can tilt it forward (vs legs for tilting up). Some extra legs to do that on this keyboard would be nice.

Pros
  • Ergonomic design can reduce the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome
Cons
  • Not suitable for heavy typists
