Revainrating 5 out of 5

I have 3 of these. different models though

I originally purchased the Perixx-406 mini ergonomic keyboard that has flat, short stroke, keys. I really liked it and didn't realize there was a version of this mini keyboard that had long stroke curved keys. I prefer the long stroke curved keys for typing sensory. So, once I realized they also made the Perixx-413B which has keys more reflective of a normal keyboard but in the mini package, I ordered it and loved it. Its about 75% the size of my normal ergonomic keyboard and even though its larger than other mini keyboards I've bought for traveling, I've found the tradeoff for operability vice portability is worth it. Its rather snug in the backpack I use to carry my laptop but its worth it and its amazing. That being said, I got tired of all the chords and having to wrap it around the keyboard when I packed it up; so, i bought the wireless 613B model. I do like the wireless version; however, I have found that depending on distance from the laptop/computer and speed at which I am typing, occasionally a stroke doesn't show up on the document I am typing. I haven't ever experienced this with another keyboard and have since switched back to the wired version. Overall, the wired version with long stroke curved keys is my favorite of all the portable keyboards I have. and I have several. If you're looking for a very small portable keyboard, this one is not for you. If you're looking for a small ergonomic keyboard with the same functionality as a full size that can still be traveled with, this is a great choice.
