Review: Finally wide enough to fit my hands! ALMOST perfect. - UPDATE 60 days in, see below first review! - I have been searching and searching for a good ergonomic keyboard. You may have even read my comments on other like kind keyboards. I used the Microsoft 7000 wireless keyboard/mouse for many, many years (I'm sure at least 15-20 years). I would buy them when I saw them on Ebay just to have when the current one I had died or keys became non-responsive. I LOVED that keyboard. So I went on the hunt. I found one that didn't work at all (tried 2 of them) and also bought the Logitech ergonomic keyboard (a bit pricey, but a good keyboard and worth it). That one had the feel of a laptop style keyboard, low profile, soft to the touch and a bit cramped on the width. I just couldn't get my hands to work with that keyboard although I think many would really like it. I tried for 3-4 months to get my arms and hands to fit it and just kept failing. I read several reviews on this keyboard and finally decided, what could it hurt. It turns out, I like this one the best! It is about and inch wider that the others and my hands are now comfortable with my elbows relaxing on the arms of my chair. So a WINNER! It reminds me a great deal of the feel of the Microsoft 7000. If I had to find something wrong, it would be the the depth of the keyboard to allow for the multimedia keys at the top. I personally don't need those keys and the "perfect" keyboard would take those out and only keeping the Num lock and Cap lock indicators then add that area back into more wrist support. The other thing is the different placement of the movement keys between the letters and num pad. I am getting used to the different layout (much easier than the width reduction of others). If any change, I would put the Delete and Insert Key on the top row instead of the bottom. But that's just me. I keep hitting the insert key instead of the page down key. Take a good look at the keyboard to see what I'm referring to. BUT having said all of this, it IS the keyboard I am using and will continue to use. It was a great fit out of the box. I have a slide out keyboard tray and it sits nicely on there and it just the perfect size for me! I am SO glad I considered and finally bought this unit. After all my searching, I do think this one and the Logitech (K860 I think that's the model) are the two best ones out there. If you're on the fence with this one, consider the height of the keys, the clicking of them and the breadth of them. If these feature are important to you, then buy it. I think you will for the most part like the "feel" of this one. I really depends on what style you like. If you want the low profile, quiet keys on a smaller platform, then this is not the one for you. (use the Logitech K860 instead). I hopes this helps someone. I have been searching and finally have found a suitable replacement! I am so happy with this purchase. UPDATE: 8/23/20 - I had been using this keyboard for about 30 days when the right space bar started acting up. It would stick and put in many unwanted spaced. I continued to use it and it just go worse so at 60 days I tried to get it replaced. It was past desertcart's warranty period so I went to the manufacturer's website and filed for a replacement (their warranty is one year). As instructed by the manufacturer, they said to remove the bar, clean it and replace. That was a fail, while it did reduce the amount of sticking, it then required hard pressure to make the space bar react as it would then not space otherwise. So I contacted them again. They said to use DeOxit on it. They even sent a link to show me what to do. (it was a pictorial guide - funny how they had this already done to send). I had never heard of DeXoit but found it on desertcart and purchased it (it's not inexpensive). I wrote an email to the manufacturer explaining that it was not my position to "fix" their keyboard, but I would try and let them know. They replied and stated they would replace the keyboard. I got the DeOxit and that was a miserable fail! It was awful after that. It would stick and would also not space as before only it was 10 times worse. I got back to Perixx and expressed that and never heard another word from them again. I tried a couple of times and then finally went back to desertcart to report their action. While good initially, when it came time to replace it they (Perixx) disappeared. So I contacted desertcart to report the seller and they listened to my story and I even volunteered to send them the email exchange so they could see it. The representative put me on hold and then came back stating they would replace the keyboard. I got it yesterday and I am using it right now and it is working perfectly. We'll see how it goes. But desertcart - thank you for stepping in where your seller didn't. You went above your call to react and it is greatly appreciated. I had a 5 star rating and left it that way as I really do like this keyboard alot. I just hope it stays working this way!
Review: Best value of its class - Been using wave, split keyboard style keyboards for maybe decades. Forget when I got my first Microslop Natural Keyboard Elite but still have three PS2 ones that are working fine. The key strokes are pretty long on those so was looking for maybe a mechanical switch board and would have spent up to $200.00 to get one that was a split design and a waive, like this one. But guess what? Couldn't find one at any price. Was going to go with the new Microslop wired ones, not a fan of baby sitting dongles and batteries, for roughly twice the price of this one, but saw some scary reviews. You don't know if they are for real or just someone with a personal problem. Then saw some good reviews for this one and for the price, was thinking it has to beat the stock Dell sub $20.00, maybe sub $10.00 even, keyboard that was given to me by my work. So actually ordered 3 of these thinking what the heck, I can send them back if they blow, and then I can keep them and happy day for me if they are OK or better. Happy Day! They are better! One review stated that they feel cheap. They weigh just about exactly the same as my MS boards are almost exactly the same size and shape. Just so I could say I did it, I torqued them from the ends. My natural 190 lb frame could likely snap it but they are just about as solid as the my old MS boards: talking about the range of a few pounds of pressure difference nothing major. That is, if all you want to to is type on them, thinking that they are plenty solid enough to last for years. When I checked all three boards, one had a slight separation between the top part and the bottom on the underside of board where you can't see it while using it on the left hand side, [the top and bottom are screwed together much like a laptop computer is] but again, very minor, maybe .005 - .010 of an inch for about 3 inches. Think maybe you could work a match book cover into it if you spent the time and tried hard. This turned out to be a result of the twist I gave them as the top and bottom parts are "keyed" and the male tab came out of its slot. A small push and it was back in place. The other two were perfect and don't see how that is going to make any difference anyway. They are well built and the key action is shorter than the old boards. It uses almost exactly the same layout as the old boards with the arrow keys being closer to the delete buttons. All this works for me. Can type faster, but for me that's maybe 80 - 90 wpm in bursts. If you want the worlds fastest keyboard, them maybe go with a mechanical switch type. For me, this is a very satisfying keyboard. The buttons on the top also work with Linux a bit so another plus if you too use multiple operating systems with the same keyboards. Ordered two more. These are great and for the price I was willing to pay for one mechanical switch board, I have 5 of these. I have been using one of these daily at work 8 hours a day for months now and no issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to the microsoft ergonomic 4000 keyboard? i’ve been using the ms4000 for years on my imacs, but ms has not updated the driver.**
A: I actually use the MS 4000 at home; I bought the Perixx for a friend.  However, I’ve used it when visiting, and I find the main keyboards virtually identical: the touch is just a little different, but I had no problem with it.  The one real difference is in the arrangement of the arrow keys and the block of six keys including Insert, Home, etc.: the former are arranged in a diamond, and the latter in a 3x2 block instead of a 2×3 block.  That did take a little getting used to, but I was adapting pretty well even after a short visit.

**Q: Is this a mechanical keyboard? What kind of switch does it uses?**
A: This keyboard uses a rubber dome switch. See my review for full details, but, it has a GREAT snappy tactile feel to it with virtually no clackiness at all. The best way I can describe it is to compare it to a light touch, quiet buckling spring keyboard (think IBM Model M or the newer Unicomp versions). The Cherry MX switches, blue or brown do NOT provide the same sort of feel this board does and I'd take this over mx blue/brown or buckling spring any day of the week. I've had those boards and choose this one due to the key feel and of course the superior split layout. The comfort cannot be beat.

**Q: Any know if this keyboard works with a mac, such as a macbook pro?  my old microsoft 4000 ergonomic no longer keeps up its software & soon won't work.**
A: Yes, I use it in a Macbook Pro with High Sierra at work.

**Q: Is this a soft touch keyboard, meaning nonstiff keys, they push well with gentle strokes?**
A: I find that if I don't press hard, I lose keystrokes.  I've had the keyboard for a couple of weeks.  Before that I had a Logitech cordless comfort duo and this was the closest thing I could find to that but this is a little bit less sensitive than that one was and frankly I find it frustrating.   Both had "real" keys not chicklet keys like a laptop.

I'm hoping and expecting to get used to it but for now I'm considering my options because I drop a lot of letters that I didn't with the logitech.  Unfortunately they don't make the logitech one anymore and logitech has gone all in on the wave keyboard, which while nice, is less ergo than the cordless comfort.

*by 井***ス on October 12, 2022*

■いいところ ・エルゴノミクスで一体型のパームレスト付き。 ・シンプルな英語キーボード（ローマ字での日本語入力可能） ・メンブレン式でうち心地もよく、メカニカルより静か。 ・レシーバーはUSBとBluetoothの両方に対応。 ・WindowsとMacの両方に対応（キートップ、取り外し器具付） ・音量調節などのマルチメディアボタン付き。 ■悪いところ ・英語キーボードのため、設定が必要（Windows10では設定画面の出し方がわかりにくい） ・記号の配置が日本語キーボードと異なるため慣れが必要（特に丸カッコと鍵カッコの位置が少しずつ違うため押し間違いが多発） ・Enterキーが縦長ではなく、横長のため慣れないと押し間違えが多発する。 ・日本語入力の切り替えも左上のキーとaltキーのため漢字キーひとつというわけにはいかない ・Homeキーなどが文字のキーより小さく押しにくい。 ・矢印キーの配置が縦長で独特かつ小さい。 ・なぜか標準のキートップがMac（optionキーとcommandキー）のため、Windowsユーザーは最初にキートップの変更が必要（なのに、キーボード裏のOSの切り替えスイッチはWindowsが初期設定） ■英語キーボードの設定 ネットで調べても最近のWindows10での設定がなかなか出なかったので備忘録で書いておきます。コントロールパネルのキーボードからではありません。 １．コントロールパネルの「時刻と言語」を開く ２．「言語」をクリック ３．「優先する言語」の「日本語」をクリック ４．「オプション」ボタンが表示されるので「オプション」をクリック ５．「ハードウェア キーボード レイアウト」の「レイアウトを変更する」ボタンをクリック ６．「英語キーボード(101/102キー)」を選択して「OK」をクリック ■購入の経緯 15年ほど前にマイクロソフトのMicrosoft Wireless Laser Desktop 4000を愛用していたが、レシーバー部分がケーブルのため断線して受信感度が悪くなって泣く泣く手放した。それ以来エルゴノミクスキーボードを探し続けたが、現在のエルゴノミクスキーボードは他社も含めてほとんどが薄いパンタグラフ式のため、以前と同じメンブレンを探し続けていた。 ■総合的な感想 このキーボードはメンブレン式のため、大昔のPC98キーボードを彷彿させるうち心地になっている。入力音も静音ではないものの、メカニカル式より静かに打て、想像していたよりも静かに打てる。
