Perixx PERIBOARD-409WU US Wired USB Mini Keyboard - White For US English Layout Review

Pros:This is a nice looking, small keyboard. Simple and clean.Good key press feel.Cons:1) I ordered this PS2 keyboard for a retro project, however, it doesn't work for that project where an older ps2 keyboard will work. This keyboard works fine with my newer desktop ps2 port.2) The other issue I have is the placement of the "Insert" key on the bottom row. There is a (useless) "Pause/Break" key next to the "Delete" key where you would expect the insert key. I use Ctrl-Insert, Shift-Insert a lot…

Very poor quality, plus didn't fit to an adapter. Other old keyboard does fit to an adapterWaste of money and time That's my feedback.

Almost all my keyboards are Perixx. The full-size version. It's designed in Germany, and one of the best design decisions they've made is to get rid off the flippable stands other keyboards come with--to raise it higher. Perixx replaced those annoying things with a solid raise for the keyboard for easier typing. That design feature is in this product as well. This particular keyboard is not full-size, but smaller. It's especially useful when a keyboard is occasionally needed for a Raspberry Pi…

My wife is very happy with her keyboard. She didn't want a numlock pad and this one was perfect. Good key spacing feel, responsive and much heavier and more solid than the Dell wireless keyboard it replaced. Being wired it doesn't lose any keystrokes like the wireless one occasionally did. Technical support in Germany was great, answered our questions right away. Did find out that the € symbol on the "5" key only works when it's set up as an international keyboard - no big deal.

Obviously this is not meant to be a substitute for a full size keyboard for normal computer use. I use mine with a MiSTer FPGA setup.It is great for when you want a compact keyboard for limited use. It is small, flat, snd sturdy. The cable is plenty long. Works great for me.

We like Perixx products. They make the best ergonomic keyboards today. They have keyboards that are closest to the best keyboard series ever, the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite.This keyboard is a mini and is not ergonomic. They wired cable is plenty long. The design appearance is very good and the lights are in the upper left corner. The thing is that the width of this keyboard, along with it's standard old-school key layout, mean that an adult who is used to a full sized ergonomic keyboard…

I really thought I was done with PS/2 peripherals, until I got dragged back in with retro/vintage computing. While a full-sized Unicomp keyboard is what I normally use for those PCs, I wanted to have an extra (preferably small) keyboard for my test bench. For that, I thought I'd try the Perixx PERIBOARD-409PW Wired PS/2 Mini Keyboard.The Perixx is somewhere between a 60% and an 87-key, with the layout looking like an early 2000's laptop keyboard (or maybe a cut-down Media Center keyboard)…

Maybe this is actually a good keyboard, but I received mine and the unit was warped, as in it would not lay flat on a flat surface. (All rubber feet present and accounted for.) Bad luck of the draw maybe, but I'm asking myself how difficult is it to produce units to the necessary specifications? Either way, very frustrating for someone who needed a PC compatible keyboard in the moment and someone who doesn't have lots of time to initiate a return, bring the product to the return site, and then…

This keyboard was a replacement for an identical keyboard ordered shortly before. Neither keyboard worked in any way. I would not order this again. Another brand purchased later worked perfectly.

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.
