Title: Superb quality for not much money!
Review: Excellent “budget” (or non-mechanical) keyboard.I bought the white version of this keyboard. It’s absolutely pristine. It’s made with beautiful, perfectly white plastic. It’s absolutely gleaming! Ideal for clinical settings or a beauty salon or minimalistic house. Lovely!It’s UK layout – absolutely vital if you live in the UK! I’m never sure why people in the UK put up with US-layout keyboards (why deprive yourself of a £ key? Why have such a small key when it gets used so much?).Anyway, this is kind of an “old-school” keyboard. I’ve worked at PCs for as long as they’ve been around, so I consider such a classic layout to be a great feature. By classic, I mean it’s got separate sections, with a distinct section for “Insert/Delete/Home/End”. Because I use these keys without even looking, I hate keyboards where this section has been messed with. It drives me nuts when the layout has changed. Nothing worse than having to stop momentarily because you’ve lost the End key. Well, there’s no danger of that with this keyboard. It’s that classic layout you know and love.If you’re more modern in your outlook, you might not like the keys: they are a good, traditional height, unlike many other modern keyboards (which seem to contain much lower profile keys). If you’re into mega modern, super-slimline, mac-like keyboards, then you won’t like this keyboard. This is an old-school keyboard with nice big keys, a classic layout and everything exactly where you’ve got used to it being.The keyboard doesn’t have any logos on its front side at all. Keyboard purists will love this. Perfection!There are no “shortcut” keys – you know, those irritating little buttons for play, stop, volume increase, decrease, etc. Again, being rather old-fashioned, I hate these buttons; I consider their absence to be good. They make a keyboard look cluttered, fiddly and confusing. I find I never use them, making them a waste of space. But, if you do like those little extras, you’ll be disappointed – there are none on this keyboard.In the description, it said something like “sound is similar to MX Brown switches”. I think that’s a bit much, it’s stretching things a bit. This isn’t a mechanical keyboard. Keys can sound a wee bit rattley, which I’ve never noticed with any mechanical keyboard. But you do get an okay sounding keypress. It is noisy (which I happen to like). But if you live in a monastery, this could bug your fellow monks. Don’t buy this keyboard if you want a quiet keyboard. The main keys sound good – nice response, if a teeny bit “rattle”y. But the space-bar is the exception: it’s annoyingly loud and produces an annoying “clack”, which is louder and sounds completely different to the other keys. Shame about that.Build quality is very good. Nice, solid plastic, but not absurdly heavy. The finish is great. Lettering is faultless. Num/Caps/Scroll lights/labels are perfectly spaced and excellently printed – nice! Even the cable & USB plug is the best quality – much better than my Unicomp keyboard which cost more than 5 times as much. This keyboard has not been made on the cheap.It’s even got the little notches on the F and J keys for the touch-typists amongst you! Bliss!Because of the nice key height, decent response and classic layout, I can type very quickly on this keyboard, without even having to look at the keys. You pick up quite a pace up on this sucker!For the price, it’s a lovely keyboard. Obviously it’s not a replacement for a mechanical keyboard. But it is of very decent quality for the money.

Title: This design classic keyboard is heaven to use
Review: As soon as I took delivery of this Periboard 106 keyboard and started using it I realised how much tactile pleasure and functional accuracy has been taken away from us in the past 20 years with the universal rush to mass produce cheap and cheerful low cost cramped, low profile, error-prone keyboards. The Periboard has full height, generously spaced keys and is beautifully made, and is based on the classic IBM form factor.No more double or triple strike errors as adult fingers accidentally simultaneously brush several jammed-together keys designed seemingly for children’s pencil-thin digits!For anyone who actually uses a keyboard for typing actual words… a lot of words for a living I cannot recommend this wonderful keyboard enough. It is an ergonomic joy to use, and has been lovingly made by Perixx to remind us all that originally computer keyboards were carefully and professionally designed for comfort and accuracy. I love it, and when I finally beak this one I’m going to buy another one!Hats off, also, to the responsive, friendly and helpful people at Perixx who didn’t hesitate to reply to my enquiry about the possibility of a protective membrane cover for the Periboard-106 to keep the biscuit crumbs out!And A++++ product, made by a company that actually cares.

Title: A good retro style keyboard
Review: I was searching around for a replacement keyboard (I was using a real 1990s keyboard, but it needed replacing) – this keyboard is pretty good, the layout is really good. It’s not quite up to the quality of the keyboard I replaced though, the keys have a less satisfying ‘feel’ – I think I need to spend some real money and find a proper mechanical keyboard to replace my original. I’ll keep searching around, I’ll probably end up getting an expensive cherry keyboard if I can find one with a layout the same as this Perixx. Overall, it’s a very good keyboard, but I really want more of a click when typing. 8 out of 10, it’s good value.

Title: Really surprised in a good way
Review: This keyboard is the real deal. It totally reminds me of my 90’s compaq keyboard I used to use with my xerox printer and old HP PC. It has the same sound, and aside from a far too unstained cable (probably age related on my old keyboard) this thing looks just like the old ones used to but feels increadible. Mine is the grey and white one (the vintage looking 2 tone one) and the keys click like a mechanical keyboard but not in a horrendous way, just a perfect level of noise. I have two £200 gaming keyboards and this is just as good for playing COD MW2 and other online games. Really didnt notice much difference to be honest. Easy to type on and clean looking. I was worried as seen lots of mixed reviews of these but this one is spot on and feels solid.If I remember, i’ll update after a few months of use in case there are any “fail” points at all.
