For UK users, please be aware that the configuration for this keyboard is US not UK. Select US keyboard from the languages section in Windows setup. This will still leave you without a £ sign as this has become #. To get the £ sign back, have a look for free tool 'Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator', where you can modify the standard US layout to also have a key combination for £. Read more

I have purchased several keyboards of this type over the years. My only problems with them have been related to breaking what should be a universal rule: no food or drinks near the keyboard. Previously, I was able to get them from a different manufacturer, but once they discontinued them, I resigned myself that they were gone forever and made due with flat keyboards that usually had tiny support legs that barely raised it off the desk. The Periboard-106 continues this classic design with the upward curve of the keyboard, sturdy legs that hold it up at the right height and the extra room above the function keys that makes a handy space for storing a pen or a small pad of Post-It Notes. That last point is an important feature for me and means I don't have to put an office supply holder on my desk or attach something to the monitor shelf on my desk to hold onto a pen. As a bonus, the area above the LEDs makes a nice, solid spot to tap your fingers on if you're listening to music. Key response is good, providing enough physical and audial feedback to assist with typing without any loud clacking noises. The separation of the function, cursor and Insert/Home/Delete/etc. keys from the rest of the keyboard helps minimize accidental key presses, such as pressing F11 or Insert when you're trying to press the Backspace key. Though I'll typically use the top number keys even when I have a lot of numbers to enter, having the separate 10-key pad (16, really) is still helpful. In terms of ergonomics, the curved keyboard feels natural to me. Maybe a split keyboard is technically more ergonomic, but then so is the Dvorak keyboard layout and I don't use that. This design, this style of keyboard works well for me. I hope Perixx will keep it available for many years to come. Read more

Typing on the Periboard-106 in person, it reminded me of the old IBM and Compaq rubber-dome keyboards I used to type on back in my childhood and teenage years. So what do I like about this keyboard? For starters, the typing feel is quite comfortable, it's easy to find the right keys by feel, the appearance is contemporary, and the initial build quality is robust. My only pet peeve? It doesn't look German-engineered despites its branding, although the keys do have a Teutonic touch. The bottom line? For anyone who grew up using the IBM PC Series, the Compaq Deskpros, or any PC that came supplied with that style of keyboard in the late 1990s and hated how today's modern keyboards look and feel, this is a real blast from the past. Just don't pick any fights with anyone who uses keyboards with buckling springs or mechanical switches. Read more
