Perixx PERIDUO-406, Wired Mini Ergonomic Split Keyboard and Vertical Mouse Combo - Adjustable Palm Rest - Tilt Scroll Wheel - Membrane Low Profile Keys - Numeric Keypad not Included, US English Layout

This keyboard is not good for ergonomics. It has a split in the middle and that is just for the show.Issues within first ten days:1. Keys getting stuck2. Not ergonomic3. Random key sizes4. Sides are abruptly made straighter, puts more strain on hands and wrists.Why not return:1. Still better than non-split, traditional ones.

alles bestens

You're probably buying this because your work doesn't allow a wireless keyboard and you need a useable ten keyless form factor. Until the TKL MS sculpt has a wired version, this is the next best thing.After using this for 120 hours now, if you use the current MS ergo wired keyboards, the 4000 or LXM, this will feel familiar. Very happy with the purchase given how much I type.Pre-requisite: ergo posture...poor upper extremity posture will negate so many of the benefits, typically to rest shoulders, elbows at 90 * to 120* at sides, forearms parallel to ground or a bit declined. For instance, one has to know that it's not really ideal to use the decline riser if the working keyboard height is above the elbow at neutral because it'll cause you to shrug your shoulders and be uncomfortable to your forearms and wrist and likely cause unintended discomfort. That's not really the keyboard's fault.Pros:-ten key less! you can really center your keyboard and have room on either side for mouse without out that wasted space (that is, if you don't use the ten key)-accomplishes ergonomics by reducing ulnar deviation (pinky bending towards elbow) with a good size split, by reducing supination (forcing thumbs to horizontal) with the slight rise in the middle, and by reducing wrist extension (fingertips raised above wrist) with the removable decline insert. feels as good and natural as the many ergo keyboards i've used through the years.- split space bars usually take so much less key force to depress than a single one. The MS 4000 was notorious for having a difficult space bar. Plus it's a flatter space bar profile.- good key spacing for the most part, low learning curve.- not clacky like the ms 4000, but not particularly quiet either.- page nav keys are in one vertical column, which i found natural.Cons:- not backlit- the chiclet keys are super flat and slick. I'm used to DSA profile keys with a scooped middle which really helps your fingers to securely land. Even my laptop has somewhat of a scooped key. I got used to this after a while, but it's more of tolerating it vs. enjoying the flat keys. I'd say it's more of a neutral con then a true negative. I notice it but not bothered by it.- extended plastic wristpad stays cleaner than the cloth or leather pads, but is not particularly enjoyable. it's not uncomfortable at all, but I had been using a gel keyboard palm rest for a straight keyboard and the comfort difference is huge.- the right shift key is 2/3 of normal, so it takes a bit to not overshoot it. luckily the next key is the up arrow, which is relatively harmless. It's easy to get used to it.The middle scroll is a bit useless, which is why many ergo keyboards ditched those. I wish it could be tied to volume or scrolling tabs without 3rd party software.For the price, you can't go wrong. Plus, the mouse it comes with is light, smooth matte finish, and has forward backwards nav buttons and has the standard ergo angle that keeps the wrist from getting smashed, but I don't use it in lieu of a trackball.Very happy with the purchase. If they ever go with a backlit version with softer palm pad and DSA style scooped keys, I'd pay extra for it.

I have tested maybe 1 million, or even 10 million different keyboards in my life. Or so it seems. None of them come close to the terrific ergonomic design of this particular one. Perixx has really "got it right" in their design here. The keyboard rose slant ever so gently in a curve, while angling correctly towards the center. This produces the reach required of the little fingers to hit the outer keys. The little scroll wheel in the center has turned out to be a real timesaver. I never had a keyboard with little scroll right in the middle like this. It is super handy! I also love the fact that there is a nice bright CAPITAL LOCK light so you know when the capital lock is on. The wrist pad is very convenient and comfortable. And you can adjusted either up or down depending on the accessories that come with it. This keyboard is nice and compact. I personally like the "wired" version, because this eliminates unnecessary Bluetooth radiation which is actually quite unhealthy for your hands to be exposed to (as is the case with all so-called Bluetooth or USB dongle keyboards). So this keyboard with the wire is virtually radiation free for that purpose. I'm going to buy several more of the same model in the near future, so I have "backup" units in case it ever goes out of production (you never can tell). So glad I found this unit! Much more comfortable than any Microsoft keyboard I've ever tried as well as others which are much more expensive. Regardless of the price, this particular Perixx wired ergonomic keyboard is the best I have ever found! I'm only removing one star because I don't like the mouse that comes with it. I find the mouse to be a little bit too big for my hand and therefore my finger muscles tense up to trying keep it under control. That's just my personal preference, and I actually use a small Sanwa wired vertical mouse instead (also bought here on Amazon). It looks virtually identical to the Perixx vertical mouse which comes with this keyboard, except it is smaller and therefore easier to fit in your hand.

Il mouse è estremamente comodo, mentre la tastiera, pur apprezzandone il layout, non mi ha soddisfatto.I tasti infatti hanno un leggero gioco che non mi soddisfa ed inoltre il pulsante del maiuscolo a sinistra spesso è troppo duro per premerlo agilmente durante una sessione di scrittura veloce con il mignolo.Non mi ha convinto troppo nemmeno il rialzo per la posizione della tastiera con inclinazione opposta, rende la tastiera a mio avviso troppo instabile.In generale credo sia una buona tastiera per un uso non troppo intenso, cosa che invece io faccio correntemente.

Super comodo mi hijo lo utiliza por muchas horas y lo ayuda mucho para el tema de postura.
