Review on Perixx PERIBOARD-409WU US Wired USB Mini Keyboard - White For US English Layout by Shane Solorzano

Revainrating 3 out of 5

ok/usable keyboard, but not really quiet

This keyboard needs some debugging of the manufacturing process. It works, but it is not there yet.I recently switched to TKL keyboards, as I was not using the number pad too often, and wanted more space on my desk and a shorter flight distance to my mouse.I was thinking that this keyboard would be useful during conference calls, when I might need to type something.The main issue is that more than half of the keys make a loud and annoying slapping noise while typing, when they reach the bottom. I am no pressing too hard by any means. Some keys are fine, considerably more quiet, without the slapping noise. E.g. G and H are very loud, H less so, and J is quiet. The Enter key is nice and quiet, the space bar is not.Additionally, the back of the keyboard could use some legs, to raise its height. As it is, it is higher than the front, but not enough.The shape and positioning of the keyboard, and functionality in general are good. 6 key rollover, for those interested. Pretty standard layout, considering the restrictions of the shape (smaller than TKL form-factor).Promising product, but not quiet as advertised (manufacturing bugs?).

Pros
  • Nice Keyboard at a nice price
Cons
  • There is no backlighting, making it difficult to use in low light situations

Received with the space bar detached. Overall construction looks very flimsy. PS2 plug has to be connected carefully and firmly. Initial difficulty in use appeared to be due to not being connected well. It works, but I''m not optimistic about for how long...
