We aim to carry the German design spirit, becoming the true 'Value Creator' for our customers. The 'Split Key' design is working as a comfortable posture corrector, encouraging a naturally straight posture rather than bending wrists to the side while typing. It echoes ergonomists' finding, The healthy way to type at a keyboard is to have the hands as naturally straight as possible in a posture that we called the neutral posture. Even better for broader, larger frame individuals by allowing their arms in a better position, reaching around the front of the body. Review: DO NOT BUY THE KEY BOARD IS WRONG - 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. Review: 語学練習に適 - 仏文タイプに使用すると、打ち間違いが格段に少なくなった。指の動きが最小になるのでoiseauとかgâteauなどの綴りが瞬時に打てる。 本製品は英語配列なので和文配列と比べenterの左キーが一つ少ない。このため最初はàキーが見当たらずとまどったが、これはbackspaceキーの下にあることが分かった。 一日中タイプしても疲れないので、集中的に語学練習するには最適と思う。 ## Features - Perixx PERIBOARD-512 Classic - Tastatur - US - Schwarz - perixx - black - PERIBOARD-512B ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075GZVD4T | | Antenna Location | Office | | Best Sellers Rank | 200,809 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 3,173 in Keyboards (Computers & Accessories) | | Box Contents | Keycap Puller | | Brand | perixx | | Brand Name | perixx | | Button Quantity | 104 | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, PC | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Compatible devices | Laptop, PC | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Connectivity technology | Wired | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 7,998 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04049571001715 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Is Electric | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 48.5L x 23.6W x 4.4H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Perixx PERIBOARD-512 Ergonomic Split Keyboard - Natural Ergonomic Design - Black - Bulky Size 19.09"x9.29"x1.73" | | Item Weight | 1.03 kg | | Keyboard Backlighting Color Support | Single Color | | Keyboard Description | QWERTY | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Keyboard Plate Material | ABS | | Keyboard description | QWERTY | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Perixx | | Manufacturer Part Number | PERIBOARD-512B | | Mechanical Keyboard Switch Model | Tactile | | Model Name | PERIBOARD-512 US B | | Model Number | 11525 | | Number of Keys | 111 | | Number of Sections | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Features | Ergonomic | | Recommended uses for product | Office | | Special feature | Ergonomic | | Style Name | Wired | | Switch Type | Tactile | | Theme | ergonomic | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** perixx - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, PC - **Connectivity technology:** Wired - **Keyboard backlighting colour support:** Single Color - **Keyboard description:** QWERTY - **Product dimensions:** 48.5L x 23.6W x 4.4H centimetres - **Recommended uses for product:** Office - **Special feature:** Ergonomic - **Style:** Wired ## Images ![PERIBOARD-512 Classic - Tastatur - US - Schwarz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61N20hMWylL.jpg) ![PERIBOARD-512 Classic - Tastatur - US - Schwarz - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61B0ETwXiuL.jpg) ![PERIBOARD-512 Classic - Tastatur - US - Schwarz - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612XTkd5TEL.jpg) ![PERIBOARD-512 Classic - Tastatur - US - Schwarz - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615pkEjDxfL.jpg) ![PERIBOARD-512 Classic - Tastatur - US - Schwarz - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EDDJa4hgL.jpg) ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ DO NOT BUY THE KEY BOARD IS WRONG *by M***T on 1 October 2020* A number of the symbol buttons simply don't match up or don't exist on the key board.
