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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice keyboard, but too small for adult hands

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 will not want to use this. It's way too cramped and lots of RSI injuries are more likely due to the compression of the wrists in an unnatural/flat angle. Think of typing with your elbows touching.This is a great keyboard for kids and maybe a system in the corner you don't need to interact much with. Can't see this for use with a home entertainment system which is likely using wireless keyboard. At nice idea but limited market.

Pros
  • EASY SET UP - Simple plug-and-play and does not require any extra drivers with a convenient 5'9-ft cable length that is long enough to reach the back of your computer even if it is located under your desk
Cons
  • There is no palm rest, which can cause discomfort during long typing sessions
