Perixx PERIBOARD-409U Wired USB Mini Keyboard, Black, US English Layout

If you need a keyboard on a stand to hover over other hardware then look to this one. Price is nice, feel is very good, keys work well, usb cord just the right length for computer hub and most important it has a small foot print. German engineered, this board is better than the keyboard on your laptop. It does not have a height adjustment kick stand legs but it is on an angle when layed flat. I used a cord to hold it to my height adjusting swivel stand. Perfect to turn it if i have to. My former key pad was too wide which is the main reason i made this purchase & i got this used but it looked brand new when it was shipped, on a sunday as well! Plastic was still on the top of the board with original package, box & etc.. good job from the seller. 2 days and im back to mixing & typing.

The problem I was trying to solve by buying this was that my old keyboard has a number pad on it and is really long. I don't need a number pad and there were times when there was too much distance between the right side of the keyboard and my mouse, which became very inconvenient. So I bought this keyboard. The price is good, the keys feel good when they type, and the key action is fine. The size of the keyboard is good. Sometimes I arrange things on my desk in several different ways, and the old keyboard was too long to fit in some of the locations where I was putting it. This is much smaller so that is good. Cord length is fine, and I was able to plug it in and use it immediately. I like the fact that the keys are dedicated and aren't sharing functions with other keys (there aren't 2 functions on the same key that you have to select from, like there are on some other keyboards). Basically it is good. The biggest downside that I see is that the location of the scroll lock key is such that somehow I keep hitting it by accident and a blue light comes on (out of the 3 lights that can come on at the upper left side, it's the one on the far right). Nothing bad happens as a result of this, just the blue light is annoying. To fix it I just hit the scroll lock key again and it's over. So it's easy to fix. But this does happen on a semi-regular basis. Sometimes the caps lock key comes on when I hit it by accident (center light), but that used to also happen on my old keyboard sometimes so I don't think there is any change in that compared to the old. Mostly it is the scroll lock key I hit by accident. I recommend that you don't throw away the little manual that comes with it, because the lights aren't labeled clearly, so if the scroll lock light comes on, you will have to look up what the light is in the manual in order to turn it off. I don't use the function keys that often so it's mostly irrelevant, but the function keys aren't labeled. But they also aren't labeled on a lot of other keyboards. So that's not different than my old keyboard. Overall, I am satisfied and this keyboard has solved my issue of removing the number pad and being able to fit better on my desk in certain configurations. I've only been using this a few days so this review is based on using it that length of time. If there was more space between the main keys and the scroll lock key so I don't keep hitting it, I'd say this is almost perfect. But it's fine and I like this better than the old keyboard so I'm satisfied with it.

We use these keyboards religiously for our manufacturing facility, where two very important features (to us) stick out: 1. Size. It's nice and compact with relatively good feel. 2. Numlock doesn't change the middle of the keyboard into a numeric wasteland. The second of these is super important, since many of our machines turn on numlock by default after reboot, which kills the expected behavior of most compact keyboards. That this unit doesn't is a total blessing. It otherwise works fine with no drama, so I'm totally comfortable rating 5 stars and buying these by the dozen.

Like. Makes for a great backup keyboard given its small form factor. Nice aesthetics. I cannot comment on sturdiness, have not used it long enough. While it feels reasonably well made, I have my doubts as to the long-term sturdiness and expected longevity given the low price. My principal keyboard is a Logitech bluetooth wireless. Every so often, it disconnects from my computer preventing me from typing my password to login. So ...., one needs a backup wired keyboard to use for login and reinstalling the wireless keyboard driver. This happens too, periodically, with the wireless mouse. So best to keep a wired keyboard and mouse handy. Dislike. The wired portion is very stiff PVC vinyl so for those who will be using this item as their primary keyboard will have trouble keeping it straight. In other words, the wire is not smooth and floppy so all the kinks and bends will be noticeable (lots of cable clutter). The wire is also very long which will be great for people who like to sit far from the computer and monitor (???) but a drag for those looking to minimize cable clutter. Given this price point, this is a disposable consumer item. It does not look like it can be easily recycled (so 1 ⭐️ for its high environmental impact). Overall. Works great for my need (low cost, backup wired keyboard with low expected use). No conflict of interest: I received NO compensation (e.g., cryptocurrency, cash, wage, salary, coupon, gift card, item-in-trade, discount, reimbursement, free merchandise, or other financial inducement) whatsoever for this item and my review of same. I have NO affiliation whatsoever with the seller or manufacturer of this item. I purchased this item for personal use.

I've bought 4-5 short keyboards over the last 8 years and a TIIG model I really liked is no longer made. This one is my new favorite because the keys are quiet and reliable. Based on measuring I thinks the keys are just slightly closer together than my standard lenovo laptop (like 2mm over the distance from the outside of the A and " keys). At first this concerned me as my hands are on the large size but I've been using it now for a month and its fine. I use it everyday on the USB cable to my laptop docking station. It's got a delete key in the upper right as well as the backspace key. key travel for touch typing is as good as it gets on a short mini-style keyboard. Don't know why the market doesn't have more good options but this is the best I've found in the last 6 months of looking and trying at least 4 other models.

Ero alla ricerca di una tastiera particolare che avesso lo Shift destro molto vicino alle frecce e questa mi ha pienamente soddisfatto. Essendo mancino per molti giochi dovevo usare le configurazione diverse dalle solite e per questo mi son trovato bene con questa disposizione dei tasti, qualità ottima e materiale robusto, la tastiera si presenta leggera e sottile, poi col cavo USB non bisogna neanche sprecare soldi per le pile. Ottimo prodotto.

古いPC本体のメンテナンスとかにこれぐらいで十分ではないでしょうか。国内メーカーの中国製造格安キーボードよりも こちらのメーカーのほうがガワの強度もあると思います。キータッチは値段相応です。 ps2ポートにも変換コネクタで接続できたのは隠し機能なんでしょうか？

The Perixx PERIBOARD-409U is a PS2 compatible keyboard with a USB connector. It works perfectly with my Olimex version of the AgonLight2 retro computer. I also tested it on an old PC. The keyboard layout is completely standard and the keys have the normal spacing. I appreciate the large font on the keycaps. The keyboard action is snappy, the press distance is on the short side, and the keys make a soft click. I've used it for coding on the AgonLight2 and it is well suited for this role. The three LEDs (NUM lock, CAPS lock, and SCROLL lock) are blue and quite bright, but they are all OFF in normal operation. The LEDs don't bother me, but I tested applying an Avery "See Thru Colour Coding" label and this reduced the brightness to a dull glow. I needed a good PS2 compatible keyboard and didn't want to spend too much. I'm very happy with the 409U.

Muis en toetsenbord kunnen nu dicht bij elkaar en dat werkt echt lekker. Het bordje typt lekker en heeft alle knoppen die ik wil. Dikke aanrader (wat mij betreft).

Quiet to type on, seems like good quality. I just wanted a keyboard without the numeric pad so I can use the mouse closer in and keep my wrist happy. Working well so far.
