Perixx Periboard-612B Wireless Ergonomic Split Keyboard with Dual Mode 2.4G and Bluetooth Feature, Compatible with Windows 10 and Mac OS X System, Black, US English Layout

I have been searching and searching for a good ergonomic keyboard. You may have even read my comments on other like kind keyboards. I used the Microsoft 7000 wireless keyboard/mouse for many, many years (I'm sure at least 15-20 years). I would buy them when I saw them on Ebay just to have when the current one I had died or keys became non-responsive. I LOVED that keyboard. So I went on the hunt. I found one that didn't work at all (tried 2 of them) and also bought the Logitech ergonomic keyboard (a bit pricey, but a good keyboard and worth it). That one had the feel of a laptop style keyboard, low profile, soft to the touch and a bit cramped on the width. I just couldn't get my hands to work with that keyboard although I think many would really like it. I tried for 3-4 months to get my arms and hands to fit it and just kept failing. I read several reviews on this keyboard and finally decided, what could it hurt. It turns out, I like this one the best! It is about and inch wider that the others and my hands are now comfortable with my elbows relaxing on the arms of my chair. So a WINNER! It reminds me a great deal of the feel of the Microsoft 7000. If I had to find something wrong, it would be the the depth of the keyboard to allow for the multimedia keys at the top. I personally don't need those keys and the "perfect" keyboard would take those out and only keeping the Num lock and Cap lock indicators then add that area back into more wrist support. The other thing is the different placement of the movement keys between the letters and num pad. I am getting used to the different layout (much easier than the width reduction of others). If any change, I would put the Delete and Insert Key on the top row instead of the bottom. But that's just me. I keep hitting the insert key instead of the page down key. Take a good look at the keyboard to see what I'm referring to. BUT having said all of this, it IS the keyboard I am using and will continue to use. It was a great fit out of the box. I have a slide out keyboard tray and it sits nicely on there and it just the perfect size for me! I am SO glad I considered and finally bought this unit. After all my searching, I do think this one and the Logitech (K860 I think that's the model) are the two best ones out there. If you're on the fence with this one, consider the height of the keys, the clicking of them and the breadth of them. If these feature are important to you, then buy it. I think you will for the most part like the "feel" of this one. I really depends on what style you like. If you want the low profile, quiet keys on a smaller platform, then this is not the one for you. (use the Logitech K860 instead). I hopes this helps someone. I have been searching and finally have found a suitable replacement! I am so happy with this purchase. UPDATE: 8/23/20 - I had been using this keyboard for about 30 days when the right space bar started acting up. It would stick and put in many unwanted spaced. I continued to use it and it just go worse so at 60 days I tried to get it replaced. It was past Amazon's warranty period so I went to the manufacturer's website and filed for a replacement (their warranty is one year). As instructed by the manufacturer, they said to remove the bar, clean it and replace. That was a fail, while it did reduce the amount of sticking, it then required hard pressure to make the space bar react as it would then not space otherwise. So I contacted them again. They said to use DeOxit on it. They even sent a link to show me what to do. (it was a pictorial guide - funny how they had this already done to send). I had never heard of DeXoit but found it on Amazon and purchased it (it's not inexpensive). I wrote an email to the manufacturer explaining that it was not my position to "fix" their keyboard, but I would try and let them know. They replied and stated they would replace the keyboard. I got the DeOxit and that was a miserable fail! It was awful after that. It would stick and would also not space as before only it was 10 times worse. I got back to Perixx and expressed that and never heard another word from them again. I tried a couple of times and then finally went back to Amazon to report their action. While good initially, when it came time to replace it they (Perixx) disappeared. So I contacted Amazon to report the seller and they listened to my story and I even volunteered to send them the email exchange so they could see it. The representative put me on hold and then came back stating they would replace the keyboard. I got it yesterday and I am using it right now and it is working perfectly. We'll see how it goes. But Amazon - thank you for stepping in where your seller didn't. You went above your call to react and it is greatly appreciated. I had a 5 star rating and left it that way as I really do like this keyboard alot. I just hope it stays working this way!

I purchased this keyboard because I needed an ergo keyboard for a data entry temp job. They employer didn’t have any more available so I opted to get my own. I am an artist, so the safety of my hands is really important to me. Within the first day, I noticed the pain go away. I used this 5 days a week for two months with minimal issues. It would occasionally disconnect, but I suspect it may be a power saving feature. The keys feel a bit mushier than I’d like (not as satisfying as a mechanical keyboard, for example). That said, it did the job well. It was comfortable to use and now I have a spare Bluetooth keyboard for use with my MacBook or iPad.

After reading reviews about this Perixx keyboard, I really wanted to like it. I had a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard years ago and found that it gave great stress relief to my back, but I never seemed to see one again in the stores. Here in Hong Kong, where I live now, I went to all of the major digital shops, and I couldn't find one anywhere. And so I turned to Amazon--and everything seemed to point to the Perixx keyboard. And so, I ordered it. From that point on, I went spinning down one of the craziest consumer rabbit holes I've ever been trapped in. First, the keyboard arrived, and it didn't work from Day 1. Either you would hit a key, and it would repeattttttttt, or you would hit another key and it would mysteriously leave a large_______________________gap from one word to the next. So I contacted Amazon, and they recommended that I speak to one of their "tech agents," whom I discovered within a short amount of time was an AI stand-in. And while I appreciate the overly friendliness they have programmed into these bots, it's not what I really needed. I was trying to explain that the thing didn't work, and the bot was giving me tech tips like, "Turn it upside-down and shake it gently to remove dust and hair." To which I replied, "Why does a brand-new keyboard, straight out of the package, have dust and hair in it??!!" Well, this cat and mouse continued for weeks. The company eventually contacted me and sent me some link to an app that I was supposed to download, and that would supposedly cure everything. I'm guessing you figured out that it didn't... The app was a dead end on my PC ("It's not you, it's us"--that was the REAL message), and when I tried it on my phone, it was supposed to link to my keyboard by Bluetooth and would tell me how to fix the problem. Guess what? It didn't. Then, the company sent me "How are we doing?" follow-up email, and I told them--politely--what had happened, and that I wasn't going to write a negative review if they would help me. They then promised me that I would hear from one of their representatives with a solution within 48 hours. That was five days ago..... So yes, I got burned for $80 USD. I can't ship it back to Amazon, because although they have agreed to accept it (and I appreciate them for that--much more than I do Perixx, who basically abandoned me), Hong Kong Post won't ship anything with lithium batteries in it. So I'm stuck. If you live in the US, then you might be okay buying this. But if you live anywhere else, then for the life of you, DO NOT ORDER THIS KEYBOARD. Otherwise, you'll be singing the same tale as me.

Easy set up, great keyboard

I bought this as I was waiting at home for Carpal Tunnel surgery on both ;my hands. It took very little time to adjust to (first split keyboard), and has helped lessen the pain while typing. I have asked my work to order the same one for me for when I return to work.

I had an MS curved which died. MS stopped making them - why? This works just s well The hoe, end and DEL keys are odd but otherwise fine.

bluetooth keeps disconnecting the keyboard to system very often (seems to be happening with few keys); some keys get repeated strokes even if typed once. Very costly, but no product support. I missed the return window unfortunately and no warranty or any kind of support. loss of 14k rupees, have to think i lost it in drain.

前のペリックス製品が壊れたので購入。エルゴかつ英語じゃないと我慢できないタチなのですが、最近手頃な価格で英語のエルゴノミックキーボードは少ないくなったので、貴重な製品です。安価なエルゴノミックならマイクロソフトかペリックスが最強じゃないでしょうか。 ペリックスのキーボードを買うのはこれで7台目ぐらいで色々買いましたが、このデザインのものは有線タイプではずいぶん昔から全く変わらず売られているので、おそらく一番人気なのかと思います。無線ですがデザインは有線タイプと全く同じです。 価格が比較的安いので、プラスチックの質感はそれほどしっかりしたようには感じられませんが、善くも悪くも相変わらずの安定したペリックスクオリティです。矢印キーとhomeキー回りがコンパクトなレイアウトにまとめられているタイプですので、フルサイズのタイプに慣れていると、体が慣れるまではとまどいます、キータッチはカッチリより、割とふにゃふにゃしてますので好みが分かれるかと思います。とにかく慣れるとメチャクチャキー入力がはかどるのはペリックスならでわの良さです。 なお、これは英語キーボードですから、当然Windowsの設定はいじらないといけません。何かキーレイアウトがおかしいと文句を言っている人がいますが、キーレイアウトは英語キーボードの標準的なもので何もおかしくないので誤解しないようにしてください。おそらくキー配置がおかしいと言っている人は、日本語キーボードと比較して言っているのだと思いますが、キー配置が英語と日本語キーボードでは違うのは当たり前です。英語のキーボード配列が世界標準で、日本語キーボードのレイアウトがガラパゴスなのですから、そのへんに文句を言うのは筋違い、メーカーさんは理不尽ないちゃもんをつけられている感じですね。そのあたりのことが分からない場合は、そもそも英語キーボードは買わないほうがいいと思います。
