Perixx PERIBOARD-512 Classic - Tastatur - US - Schwarz

A number of the symbol buttons simply don't match up or don't exist on the key board. The button for "@" is actually shown as speech brackets. The £ symbol button is illustrated as a hash tag. You can sort of work out some of the short falls by using a normal key board to compare against and work out some of the flaws. Pretty fundamental screw up.

Overall the keyboard is good BUT you need to get used to the placement of the arrow keys and Home, End, Delete etc. Because they are not located as usual and it is quite hard to use them blindly/automatically.

Nice product

Comfortable positioning of the keys. It has reduced stress on my wrists. Sturdy build. Easy plug and play. Keys are a little loud.

Vintage PS/2 Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboards have been my daily drivers for over 30 years. If you're looking to replace a vintage Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite (E06401COMB) or the even older Microsoft Natural Keyboard 59758/E03786USDSP then this has the same key layout as the former and is very similar to the latter. You will feel immediately at home. In contrast, before buying this Perixx, in October 2023 I purchased the then-current replacement Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard LXM-00001. Its layout is frustratingly near that of the vintage keyboards. It was close enough that it lured me into using muscle memory but I was getting many errors, and started to doubt my ability to touch type. For example: - Subtly different key locations e.g. on the new LXM the "T" key is under the "6", on the vintage ones between "5" and "6" - Curved (rather than straight) key rows - Lack of space between the top row number keys and the "F" keys - Left side F keys go F1 - F6 instead of F1 - F5 I have a few minor quibbles with the Perixx PERIBOARD-512: 1. The Num Lock/Caps Lock/Scroll Lock indicator LEDs are poorly angled and can only be clearly seen when looking straight down on the keyboard. If you are in a normal typing position in front of it they're hard to tell if on or off, and they tend to "bleed" into one another. For example, if Num Lock is lit, Caps Lock appears mostly lit as well. 2. On my unit the right Shift key needs to be depressed further than normal to activate. I find when typing capital "A", "S", "D", "F" etc. I get a lot of lower case instead. I have to press the right shift extra firmly or slightly delay hitting the other key to be sure I'm getting upper case 3. The shortcut/media buttons across the top are welcome but on my unit the "WWW" button is not properly debounced. Even with a crisp press I often get 2 browser instances started rather than just one when pressing this button

Liegt gut in der Hand.. Gutes Teil.. zu empfehlen
