Perixx 11524 PERIBOARD-512 Wired Ergonomic Natural Split Keyboard with 7 Multimedia Keys, Black, UK Layout

As it is adapted into Swedish it is a bit difficult as the letters and symbols do not always match what actually is written.

Perfect keyboard to replace my more expensive MS split one. This is a QWERTY keyboard with UK layout, as in, the 'at' key, (symbol @) is in the normal place- centre row, third key from right. The keys make a noise when you press them, so if you want silent keys, don't get this keyboard. Wrist rest is hard plastic but is angled to make hands and wrists feel comfortable and the plastic of the entire keyboard is the same - as in, keys, wrist rest and frame - and is smooth to the touch. All keys are at the right angle to use The Home, End Delete keys etc, are vertical in two columns of three keys each, as opposed to three columns of two keys each, as on standard keyboards and so take a bit of getting used to - I've pressed page up instead of end, by accident a few times. Overall, I am keeping this keyboard as it is the cheapest split keyboard I can find, and it feels very comfortable to use for 'on and off' typing like browsing, shopping, emails etc. I have not typed for hours yet, so cannot comment on that. Was using this for a while before I noticed it has two feet underneath to raise up the keyboard, but I find it too high, so I leave it flat. Plastic of this keyboard feels warm after a while, so helps with my cold hands!!

Musste sie zurück schicken, wegen falscher Tastatur Belegung. Aber ansonsten war sie sehr gut.

A good quality and comfortable keyboard

The big advantage of this sort of key board is that your arms can come in at more natural angles without you having to parallelise them in order to line up with the typical keyboard. The keyboard feels pretty good to use. It has feet at the back so that you can raise the rear if you so wish. There are LEDs to show Caps, Num and Scroll Locks, though because they are set deep inside the casing they don't show up very well. The keyboard is the same length as the typical keyboard. Because the main key section is splayed out, and the numeric keypad is the usual sort of size, there is less room for the middle set of keys. The arrow keys are therefore in a star-shape (as opposed to the usual T-shape), and the Delete, Insert, End etc keys are in a 2x3 arrangement as opposed to the usual 3x2. This takes some getting used to. It's perhaps a shame that they don't put foldable legs at the front of the keyboard so that it can be raised and thus slope away from you. For many years I've had a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard. The front of the keyboard could be raised,so that your hands sat at a more natural drooping angle. Overall, a nice keyboard, good value.
