perixx PERIBOARD-512 Wired Ergonomic Natural Split Keyboard with 7 Multimedia Keys, White, UK Layout

I'm very pleased with my purchase because this keyboard is very close to what I wanted which was a white true UK layout keyboard with the £ sign. A lot of UK layout keyboards advertised do not have the £ sign above the no 3 (they have a hash tag instead) but I messaged the seller who came back to me in an hour and confirmed it did along with another kind Amazon purchaser afterwards. It took 5 goes to get used to the ergonomic keyboard and it does feel strange at first but pleasantly getting used to it and the feel is much better than a normal keyboard because your elbows aren't squeezed into your sides so you're more relaxed with reduced tension going through your arms and into your shoulders. I wanted the 'old school' high profile keys and these go about 3 quarters up in height to what I like but they don't seem to manufacture any more. With this keyboard you still get that feeling. If you use the keyboard level your fingers and hands angle slighly downwards but I use mine with the legs up so the keyboard is level. A nice big hand rest, again getting used to this as it looks very big but is surprisingly comfortable. When you type the sound of the keys is between a clunk and a click and is medium noise level. I've been typing on different keyboards for 40 years and can honestly say I'm very pleased with my purchase because the layout is very similar to my last keyboard and is excellent value for money. It also works perfectly by the way... Happy days!

This is my second perixx ergonomic keyboard. My first one lasted five years. It would have lasted longer if they could have made it gin and tonic proof. It seems that if you pour a g&t over it it stops working. Good grief who'd have thought it. With the replacement I went for the white one. It doesn't type any better but it looks good on the desk. All in all it is a good well made keyboard and is very comfortable to use. It fits the angle of the hands so there is no strain. It isn't noisy but there is definite resistance which I like. I am very happy with this keyboard, (actually I was very happy with the last one when it was gin free), highly recommended.

I have never had an ergonomic keyboard before and now I work from home daily, I decided to invest in one. I saw many black ones but few white ones so this one caught my eye. I decided to take a punt on it alongside the mouse and I'm really glad I did. It feels very quiet when using it, it feels comfortable and didn't take me long to get used to using it.

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.

A good quality and comfortable keyboard

My only complaint is the arrow keys take a bit of getting used to. I use a Microsoft ergo keyboard at work, and wanted something similar for less money than the microsoft one - this fits the bill...it works fine, I play FPS games and code - and like I mentioned my only issue is with the placement of the down arrow...it should be between the left and right arrows, but it's under it! If you can get used to this, then it's really 5 stars. Getting used to an ergonomic keyboard takes a while - but once you do get used to it, you will be typing as fast as ever and less risk of rsi or strain!

Some people find the layout of this keyboard a little strange. However, it appears to be doing one job and that is to replicate the size and layout of the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite which ran from 1998 to 2014. That is my favourite keyboard so I was overjoyed to discover this replacement. The original Microsoft keyboard was PS/2 only but this connector is getting rarer on PC motherboards. Here we have USB or wireless in black or white plus media hot keys. I received the white wired version and I love it. Keys don't quite have the same rubbery quietness as the original but you won't notice unless you have both to compare. It even accurately reproduces one of the flaws (in my opinion) of the original as there is no rubber on the back feet which can allow the keyboard to walk away from the user on some desk surfaces. As before, Cabinet Door Bumpers fix that. The only significant layout alteration is that the space bar is longer (and happens to be split) so the keys to left and right of it are pushed out toward the edge more than the over-sized versions on the original. My wife is overjoyed..my old worn-shiny and yellowed MS Natural Keyboard Elite has been replaced with this brilliant white version. If you liked that particular old MS keyboard, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this.

Great purchase
