Perixx PERIBOARD-432 Wired Mini USB Keyboard - X Type Scissor Keys - Big Print Keys - US English, Black

Very nice keyboard. Touch typing is easy with the feel of the keys. I wanted something that didn't take up a lot of space on my table, but with full sized keys and function keys (brightness, sound, video controls). The labels on the keys are large which is also great. I liked it so much I bought a 2nd one for my shop computer.

I was looking for a keyboard to fit in standing desk slot with not a lot of room. I wanted a wired keyboard because I didn't want to have to deal with the keyboard going to sleep and not having a caps lock indicator, and it is always plugged into a docking station anyway. So far this has been even better than I expected. First, it is exactly the same size as my Surface Book keyboard I am used to typing on, so my fingers are exactly on the right keys without looking. Also, some of the other mini keyboards I looked at had some weird placements for the delete or other keys, and I didn't want to have to look at the keyboard every time I wanted to use the delete key. Additionally, the right shift key is exactly the same size/place as my Surface Book keyboard, and some of the other small form factor keyboards shrink that key as well which throws my natural hand position off. Other things that I like is that it is not any bigger than it has to be- it is just big enough to hold all of the keys and that is it. Although I wouldn't say it is heavy, it is surprisingly dense. This is great because I have it on a slick desk, and it is heavy enough and has large enough rubber contacts that it doesn't move around at all, which is a problem I had in the past with some other small keyboards. The keys have a clear breaking point which gives you enough typing feel- not very loud, but not silent. Most of the ones I have experienced that are completely silent feel mushier than this. Finally, there are the large letters on the keyboard. I was debating getting a backlit keyboard, but it turns out the letters on this keyboard are so large and high contrast that if there is any light at all in the room there is no problem seeing the keys very clearly. Maybe if you were in a room that was completely dark and had the keyboard stuck under a cabinet there could be a visibility problem, but just the light from your monitor in a completely dark room will give you plenty of light to make out the keys. You can also set a function lock on the top row so it will let you use the keys for brightness, volume, play, etc... without having to use the function key every time which also ends up being convenient. I'm trying to think of anything negative or anything I would change about it, and nothing really comes to mind. Everything seems well thought out, like even the concave vs convex shape of the different keys so you can tell them by touch. I don't see any reviews on this yet, so maybe this is the first. Bottom line, this was perfect for what I was looking for and it is hard for me to see how anyone could go wrong with this keyboard.

I have had a Logitech K380 Bluetooth Keyboard for over six years, and I absolutely love it. There isn't a more perfect keyboard out there for me. And I've never had any problems using it for anything, including gaming. I have 250 games on Steam and 450 games on Epic Games, and I've used the Logitech K380 keyboard with a lot of them and had no problems. But I started playing Dead by Daylight a few months ago, and I noticed that skill checks were difficult for me to make. It was forcing me to use a Technician perk that allowed me to miss skill checks without alerting the killer. But on a whim, I tried using my laptop keyboard instead of the wireless one, and I noticed the skill checks were way easier, making it so that I don't need the Technician perk. So that is when I decided to buy a wired keyboard. I tried different keyboards. The first one was a Perixx PERIBOARD-407W, and I did not like it because the keyboard was bigger than I wanted and the keys were a lot higher. They keys tired out my fingers and made me make a lot of typos. That's when I learned that I need to look for the words "mini" and "thin" when shopping for a keyboard. And I learned that I like Scissor Keys. I then ordered a Powboro Upgraded keyboard. It was a mini keyboard with a thin profile and scissor keys. Unfortunately, it was junk and the 'w' key did not work. Other customers complained about the keys sticking or being broken too. So then I ordered this Perixx PERIBOARD-432 keyboard. I tested this new keyboard out, and there is no lag whatsoever. I can make skill checks in Dead by Daylight with absolutely no problem now. Great purchase. Worth every single penny.

I enjoy the soft touch of the keyboard, and the fact that the keys travel a bit farther than a laptop keyboard (but less than one of those clacky noisy keyboards). The white letters and numbers on the keys are bold and bright - easy to see in anything other than very dark rooms. The little bumps on the "J" and "F" keys seem durable and don't seem to be wearing down after about 6 months of heavy use. Highly recommended.

I really liked the size and feel of this keyboard. So I was very disappointed when a few keys stopped working after a little over a year, and then a large section of the keyboard quit working, with no apparent cause. It lasted past its warranty, but not much longer.

The keyboard looks nice and appears to be well made. However, here are three things you should be aware of: 1) The instructions are worthless because it doesn't tell you how to hook it up. For someone with computer experience, this is not a problem because it only takes basic knowledge to figure it out. For someone without experience, it's a problem: minus one star 2) It's not plug and play. In other words, you will at least have to reboot your computer to get it to work and you might even have to do a few things to your computer to get it to work. For a computer savvy person this is a no-brainer but for a person who knows little to nothing about computers, try rebooting and if it doesn't work ask someone you know for help. But don't return it thinking it's broken because it's probably user error and not the keyboard. I'm not deducting another star for this because if they had good instructions then this would not be a problem and I've already deducted one star for poor instructions. 3) It's not a quite keyboard but then again the majority of keyboards on the market are not quite. I've chosen not to deduct a star for this because the keyboard doesn't claim to be a silent keyboard. Bottom line: If you want a quite keyboard and/or a plug and play keyboard you may want to pass. However, if you don't care about having a quite keyboard and you have some computer knowledge this keyboard would probably work out great for you.

While preferences for overall size and key cap shape are up to individual preference (I happen to like the form factor of this keyboard in all aspects), the construction quality and key action of this item are objectively fantastic for a $20 keyboard! This was purchased for use with a music server that lives in a closet and is only accessed occasionally, so I was just looking for a compact, inexpensive, wired keyboard and barely tolerable quality and key action was what I expected in the price range... what a pleasant surprise to find that it's actually a great keyboard, not just a utility item. I've only owned it for a short time, so long term durability is still a question mark, but it feels very sturdy and extensive use during the setup of my new machine leads me to believe that it will be with me for many years. Definitely an "outperform" product IMO

The design is beautiful, the keys work extremely well, and it is small, thin, and sturdy. The keyboard on my laptop became temperamental (sometimes keys work, sometimes not...), so rather than spending a lot of time and money to replace it, I bought this. This keyboard requires no extra power since it connects with a USB cable, and it easily packs along with the laptop in my computer backpack. An added benefit is the ability to keep the laptop screen at a comfortable distance while typing.
