PERIBOARD-326 Wired Mini Backlit USB Keyboard with Low Profile Keys, US English Layout (11607)

I'm actually surprised at how nice this keyboard feels. I use a Samsung laptop and a corsair mechanical keyboard on my desktop most of the time, also I have fairly large hands (~9.5in span pinky to thumb) and it feels fairly nice despite it's compact size. My first order I received a opened box that somebody stuffed a grungy old apple keyboard in and returned, but that's an Amazon issue, not the keyboard manufacturer. Now that I've received a replacement I'm pleased with the quality. I got this for an easy to access, compact keyboard for any work on extra machines around my house, server, NAS, etcetera. It has a nice but shallow actuation like modern laptops and is surprisingly quiet, like the keys are ever so slightly cushioned at the bottom so there's no 'clack'. The illuminated version is a nice, bright white and very clear. It is a bit small, I wouldn't want to write an essay on it personally but anyone with normal to smaller sized hands would probably find it comfortable. It fits my needs perfectly though.

I like this keyboard. I purchased it to use in the field with a portable computer but use it as my main keyboard. It is solid, seemingly durable with the keys giving a nice feel when pressed, the back lighting is simple and easy to operate, with out all the complicated lighting patterns common in so many other back lit keyboards. I also like the fact that it is a regular USB plug making it compatible with the mini pc I use it with. The form factor is compact enough to allow for extra space on my desk while large enough to function and feel like a full sized board.

Just what I was looking for. This is a minimally sized keyboard. The backlighting is perfect and the keyboard feel is just right. Works flawlessly so far.

Right out of the packaging, the keyboard worked with my laptop (whose keyboard has some stuck keys). The size is just right, perfect for slipping along when I take my laptop with me. It is not wireless, but then has no power problems like my last wireless did. Just the keys light up, which is what I wanted when I got my last small keyboard... which had the area around they keys light up also, distracting from the lit key indicators. This keyboard has all the F keys a bit smaller so all those are included, with the real Delete key top right. (on my last small keyboard, the backspace delete and the delete were the same key, and I had to use Funct to chose one or the other). The spring feel on these keys are fun...not sloppy... the springback feeling is just right. It is very easy to stay centered on the keyboard. The little feet underneath raise the back of the keyboard a bit to give more natural feel. So far so good. The manual really has no instructions. Wonder if there is a way to adjust the strength of the backlighting. It is light enough for me to see the keys in the dark. Glad I bought this...so far! After a week or so of use, the only malfunction is that sometimes the caps lock key on the left gets stuck on...with the regular shift key stuck down a bit. I can usually free it up, so will keep an eye on it to see why this happens.

It's very difficult to find a good backlit keyboard. This one is absolutely fantastic: - Very good readability of the keys (like the '0' is not split in two parts as on other keyboards) - Absolutely no light leaking under or around the key. The only thing lit is the symbols on the keys. This makes it super easy to read in the dark (see picture) - No useless colors blinking everywhere like on most other backlit keyboards. I need a keyboard, not a Christmas tree! - Quiet typing It doesn't have a numpad, which I sometimes miss, but it's really not a problem. Would be great is perixx made the same keyboard with the numpad. I boggles me why there are not more keyboards with the same great lighting as this one.

i'm using this as a desktop keyboard for a laptop on a nearby shelf. In most ways this keyboard is just what I was looking for: a compact, tenkeyless, low-profile, USB-connected, quiet, backlit board without the glitz. I've got only two issues with it. The main problem is that the key 'touch' is pretty bad: the keys often stick on the way down, especially if they're pressed off-center, such that they get registered with a slight delay or not at all. This cause typos (characters typed in the wrong order, lowercase where uppercase is wanted) and generally makes the board slow and unpleasant to use. The overall feel is much inferior to the average laptop keyboard. The layout would be improved by adding little PgUp and PgDn buttons above the left and right arrow keys, as is often seen on laptop keyboards. There's also no right Ctrl key, and I miss that. With those two issues fixed this would be a very nice little keyboard. It's also worth noting that despite the prominently advertised German design, this is a Chinese-made board. UPDATE: Replaced this with the Periboard-332. Though designed by the same company and with similar specs, the 332 has far superior 'touch'. It's similar to a decent to good laptop keyboard. None of the keys creak or stick when pressed. And the keys are backlit more evenly, too. Overall, the 332 is a much better alternative to the 326, and well worth the modest cost to upgrade from it!

I do also have wireless versions, but this USB-based keyboard is my main one. A bachelor I'm not intentionally abusive or careless, but I'm not perfect either and this, beside super-lightweight is amazingly durable. I'm really not exaggerating. I've dropped it or accidentally nudged it by the corner off of coffee tables etc onto hard tiled floor surfaces a million times before it finally started having little telltale indicators it was experiencing issues, like an Alt-button on one side or the other wouldn't be responsive anymore, etc just an example. I've snapped keys back on that popped off from a fall more times than I remember, and it just kept on working fine like nothing had happened at all.... No it's not " indestructible " , but overall it packs a punch and can take one too, way above its weight class, that's for sure... The backlighting is awesome too, can't forget to mention that. 5-Star | for a USB-based peripheral I can't think of any issue to not to give this a FULL 5-Star rating.

Very happy with the small keyboard. This does exactly what it is supposed to. I use it with my laptop when I travel so that I am not on top of the laptop screen, and I have a little distance between my face and the laptop screen. It clicks nice and is responsive to my typing. Defintely a great purchase.

Buena idea pero la altitud para mi no es comoda.

Good and small size qwerty keyboard with backlight, light can be set in 3 levels. Only white light. Surprising good quality considering the price.

Ottima tastiera, buona anche la retro illuminazione.

It worked out of the box on my M1 Macbook Air when I connected it through a hub. This keyboard's backlight is lit all the time except when the laptop is asleep or off. Not sure if it can be configured through MacOS settings but it doesn't bother me and I'm happy with this keyboard so far. It's very compact and still has important functions like HOME, END, PAGE UP, and PAGE DOWN. The keyboard layout is perfect. It doesn't have those annoying characters. The backlight is well lit and you won't have problems typing at night. Don't expect a mechanical feel when you type though. But the keys are not noisy which is perfect for offices and when you work at night. Overall, I'm very happy with this keyboard. No problems at all. Especially useful when you have limited desk space.

Perfect product for my use case. Well engineered QWERTY backlit keyboard. Couldn't throw away my full-sized keyboard fast enough. Bright but not overly bright. Familiar notebook style keyboard so no more finger fumbles. Ideal brightness.
