Perixx PERIBOARD-835BL Wireless Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard - RGB Backlit - Low-Profile Blue Clicky Switches - Multi-Device Connection -

I was struggling to find an ergonomic keyboard I could really enjoy. All these Bluetooth ones out there kept disconnecting all the time. On my old ones I would be typing and they would miss letters or whole words out of nowhere, so when I came across this keyboard which is wireless and wired, I was super skeptical. I personally love the clicky clacky of mechanical keyboards. I use mine for gaming and writing, so I needed it to be reliable when wireless or wired. To my absolute surprise it is one of the best keyboards I've ever owned. My wrist pain doesn't bother me nearly as much as it use to with my previous keyboards. I previously used a couple different Razer keyboards (you know, mechanical and RGB for the most fun) and this for sure compares in look, feel, and quality. The little feet stands are perfect heights for different situations and positions. The charge on the battery lasts so long especially for how much i use it. And when I mean I use it, I mean I'm writing thousands of words a day. Sometimes writing for 18hrs straight with minimal breaks, then when not writing I'm gaming and this thing does not need to be charged for days even with the abuse I put it through. Most of the time I forget it has a battery until the red light comes on. Want it to be wired? Keep it plugged in. Need it to be wireless, unplug it and you can. The desktop program to handle the settings was super easy to figure out. Setting up the rgb lighting to match my other stuff was easy. The keys feel sleek and easy to press. It's just so comfy. It did take a couple weeks of consistent use to get use to where the keys sit, but once I got it, I can't look at normal keyboards the same. I can't recommend this enough. It was worth every cent I spent on it. Oh and the whole wireless thing, yeah, not once have I had it miss a letter or word or randomly lose connection. It's everything i was looking for. Read more

Prior to this keyboard, I used a Logitech ERGO K860 wireless ergonomic keyboard. I must say the Logitech is a great keyboard. However, after reading so articles, I started to search for an ergonomic magnetic keyboard. While I couldn't find one, this keyboard popped up in my searches many times. I watched some videos on it and after doing some research, I decided to buy one. To be clear I bought the one with the middle action. It IS a very comfortable keyboard to use - I like the front raisers (and the fact that there are two heights). I also like that, unlike the Logitech, it is rechargeable via USB C. The wrist rest is also quite comfortable, and it does have a nice sleek, modern design. I thought I would find the LED lighting under the keys gimmicky, but I like it - and you can keep it the rainbow or customize the colors and brightness. I was also worried the LED's would be too bright, but they are perfect - even at the brightest setting (you can also customize the brightness) Installing the software took some doing (and I am an experienced user). What's most frustrating about the software is that getting the software to actually recognize the presence of the keyboard takes several rounds of plugging and unplugging the keyboard (seems like the software should recognize the wireless dongle - eliminating the need to plug it in to use the software). However, the software does not seem to add much to its functionality. You can configure it for MAC or Windows, I'm not sure why - I use Logitech on Mac and Windows and it works fine without any re-configuration - if I were to guess - it simply swaps the command and option keys - which are reversed if you use a Windows keyboard on a Mac (I haven't tried it - it's just a guess). In general, using this keyboard took some getting used to - and I come from a long history of using (and swearing by) ergonomic keyboards - I had an original Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard back in the 90's - still one of my favorite keyboards to date. Although it probably only took me about a day to get used to the Perixx. The only thing I DON'T like about this keyboard is the actual action of pressing the keys. Again, it feels cheap and cheesy. I wonder if I should have bought the clicky version - but somehow I doubt that would have helped. Not sure if I'll stick with this or go back to the Logitech yet. There are definitely pros and cons to each. But at the price I paid, I would say this keyboard (especially the action) is very disappointing. The keyboard definitely has potential - this exact same keyboard with a firmer, more defined action would be absolutely perfect. Sadly, it feels like a cheap toy. Still hoping someone will release a quality ergonomic magnetic action keyboard. Hope you find this review helpful. Read more

I have been looking for a long for something to replace the Microsoft ergonomic 4000. I started stockpiling them, because there really was / is not substitute. The Perixx is awesome - I dare say it might actually be better. I bough the Perixx and an Incose ergonomic. The feel of the Incose keys is actually closer to the original Microsoft keyboard. The Perixx is superior. This is an awesome keyboard, I think I can type faster on the Perixx than the others. They keys are super responsive, and because they are switches they don't have that rubbery feel to them. 5/5 awesome purchase, and I might buy another one for travel etc. Read more

As you can see from my review, the keyboard often repeats the letters "FFFF" and "R' (thank you whoever invented auto-correct!); the left shift key does not always work, the ergonomic slip is very narrow, making it more like a straight keyboard and the stretch from the CTRl keys on each side is too narrow to allow for reaching to the centermost letters when having a normal hand span (if you have small hands, don't even bother). The keyboard is also not recognizing multiple system connections, and will only allow me to type on the last system that was connected. In addition, and perhaps the worst for me, a keyboard short cut person, you cannot complete multiple CTRL commands in a row. So, if I want to copy, find, and paste, I have to let go off the CTRL key between each command, or it just types the letter I am pressing, and doesn't recognize the command - that one I absolutely cannot live with, sure to a lot of the crross-comparison work I do. I didn't realize the last one, until I requested a replacement keyboard for the other issues. Now I wished I had just returned it. When the new one comes I won't even bother opening it and will just return both. If anyone knows of a good full size backlit, ergo keyboard that can connect to at least 2 devices, let me know!
