PERIXX PERIBOARD-106M, Wired Performance Full-Size USB Keyboard, Curved Ergonomic Keys, Classic Retro Gray/White Color, UK QWERTY

Excellent “budget” (or non-mechanical) keyboard.I bought the white version of this keyboard. It’s absolutely pristine. It’s made with beautiful, perfectly white plastic. It’s absolutely gleaming! Ideal for clinical settings or a beauty salon or minimalistic house. Lovely!It’s UK layout – absolutely vital if you live in the UK! I’m never sure why people in the UK put up with US-layout keyboards (why deprive yourself of a £ key? Why have such a small <Enter> key when it gets used so much?).Anyway, this is kind of an “old-school” keyboard. I’ve worked at PCs for as long as they’ve been around, so I consider such a classic layout to be a great feature. By classic, I mean it’s got separate sections, with a distinct section for “Insert/Delete/Home/End”. Because I use these keys without even looking, I hate keyboards where this section has been messed with. It drives me nuts when the layout has changed. Nothing worse than having to stop momentarily because you’ve lost the End key. Well, there’s no danger of that with this keyboard. It’s that classic layout you know and love.If you’re more modern in your outlook, you might not like the keys: they are a good, traditional height, unlike many other modern keyboards (which seem to contain much lower profile keys). If you’re into mega modern, super-slimline, mac-like keyboards, then you won’t like this keyboard. This is an old-school keyboard with nice big keys, a classic layout and everything exactly where you’ve got used to it being.The keyboard doesn’t have any logos on its front side at all. Keyboard purists will love this. Perfection!There are no “shortcut” keys – you know, those irritating little buttons for play, stop, volume increase, decrease, etc. Again, being rather old-fashioned, I hate these buttons; I consider their absence to be good. They make a keyboard look cluttered, fiddly and confusing. I find I never use them, making them a waste of space. But, if you do like those little extras, you’ll be disappointed – there are none on this keyboard.In the description, it said something like “sound is similar to MX Brown switches”. I think that’s a bit much, it’s stretching things a bit. This isn’t a mechanical keyboard. Keys can sound a wee bit rattley, which I’ve never noticed with any mechanical keyboard. But you do get an okay sounding keypress. It is noisy (which I happen to like). But if you live in a monastery, this could bug your fellow monks. Don’t buy this keyboard if you want a quiet keyboard. The main keys sound good – nice response, if a teeny bit “rattle”y. But the space-bar is the exception: it’s annoyingly loud and produces an annoying “clack”, which is louder and sounds completely different to the other keys. Shame about that.Build quality is very good. Nice, solid plastic, but not absurdly heavy. The finish is great. Lettering is faultless. Num/Caps/Scroll lights/labels are perfectly spaced and excellently printed – nice! Even the cable & USB plug is the best quality - much better than my Unicomp keyboard which cost more than 5 times as much. This keyboard has not been made on the cheap.It’s even got the little notches on the F and J keys for the touch-typists amongst you! Bliss!Because of the nice key height, decent response and classic layout, I can type very quickly on this keyboard, without even having to look at the keys. You pick up quite a pace up on this sucker!For the price, it’s a lovely keyboard. Obviously it’s not a replacement for a mechanical keyboard. But it is of very decent quality for the money.

The keyboard works well. Responsive keys that feel sturdy that have some of the old fashioned keyboard feel. I am used to the old IBM ps/2 and Compaq server keyboard with built in mouse that I am comparing to. The Compaq I am back using now (£100.00 second hand if you can find one which is now connected to a USB keyboard and mouse adapter) is superior but this German design at a very good price is a great substitute and good back up keyboard and I think will prove pretty reliable.

I've been using this keyboard for a couple of months now, after toying for weeks over the possibility of throwing money down the drain of fancy mechanical switch keyboards or buying one of the official model Ms. Then I saw this and fell in love with the beige and grey colour scheme, green leds, and lack of a Windows key (the version I have has a plain keycap with the wort 'Start' printed on it). I looks stunning frankly, sparking nostalgiic memories of 90s PCs, and has a colourscheme very similar to my old A1200. Really fun to type on, makes a satisfying thocky sound though its a membrane.The only drawbacks are:Keycaps cannot be removed (I'd love to be able to swap them out for some different colours) - this is probably a very niche complaint.The cable is ugly, its cheap white plastic and does not match the colouring of the keyboard. It is also hardwired in so cannot be removed.Other than that this keyboard is a bargain. I love it.

Got this keyboard to replace the standard Dell keyboard which came with my new XPS. This appears to have 7 key rollover which for the type of gaming that I do is more than fine and beats the Dells 4 key rollover. It isn't the quietest keyboard, noise level it is similar to a Cherry Brown switch. The typing experience is above average beating the regular cheaper membrane keyboards, but it is far from being a mechanical experience. For a modern retro look and feel, this keyboard is the best value for money and I would recommend to anyone.

it’s hard finding white keyboards that aren’t just boring and plain, this one adds some accents that really give it some visual appeal. it feels and looks great, keys sound really nice if that’s something you’re looking for, couldn’t complain, it has lasted me almost a year already with no issues at all and, being so inexpensive, is definitely worth buying.
