Review on Perixx PERIDUO-606 Wireless Mini Ergonomic Keyboard with Portable Vertical Mouse - Adjustable Palm Rest Stand - Membrane Low Profile Keys - US English Layout, Black (11660) by Roger Alexander

Looking for a 70% style ergonomic keyboard to replace Microsoft Sculpt which has serious hardware failure (some keystrokes don't work, all keys get stuck over time etc.). They are not interested in repairs. After trying a crossbow that cost a fortune and getting my carpal tunnel back worse than it has been in a decade, I decided to look for a fake that comes as close to sculpting as possible, and here we are. Considering the price, this good keyboard is better than the Sculpt as it pretty much has the same design and comfort level without any major hardware flaws. It is slightly smaller than the sculpture but is otherwise the same size and arch. So if you're familiar with any of Microsoft-style ergonomics, you'll be reasonably comfortable here. The only downsides in comparison are * The pushbutton switches feel a bit stiffer and when you press on the outer edge of the wider buttons, they can stick and press down just as evenly as the scissor switches on a sculpture. * Small size takes some getting used to. The bottom row keys are tiny, especially Ctrl, Win, Fn, Alt. They could have stayed larger for easier use. added a couple of sticks to the pads instead. The sculpture is no less dangerous as it only has a magnetic battery cover. I'm still confused as to why anyone would design anything with batteries or magnets that you can just pop out and swallow, but that seems to be a trend in keyboards. Update: Keyswitches make a squeaky noise when touched but not when slowly pressed. It drove me nuts, as did the stickiness of some of the large buttons when not pressed perfectly. Still usable, but a bit annoying.
