Perixx Periboard-612 Wireless Ergonomic USB - Review

The Perixx Periboard-612 Wireless Ergonomic USB Split Keyboard is aimed at providing an ergonomic design that enhances user comfort while reducing the risk of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This keyboard is designed to help reduce forearm tension and median nerve pressure by mimicking a natural position for your arms and hands while typing.

The keyboard comes with a wireless dual-mode connection for greater flexibility, which can be switched between default 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 4.0 by using the switch conveniently located at the bottom of the keyboard. The Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity option is especially a great feature for those who constantly switch between devices that use different connection types.

The Perixx Periboard-612 also has 7 optimized multimedia function keys that work seamlessly with both Windows and Mac operating systems, providing quick access to multimedia functions like opening a browser, email, adjusting the volume, or putting the computer into sleep mode. These keys open up the different applications for the user, making it very easy to switch between tasks without interrupting workflow.

The keyboard keys are made with high-quality materials, which provide a satisfying typing experience for both heavy and light typists. The keys have long-travel distances that ensure they have a good tactile feel, which gives off a satisfying click when pressed.

However, one consideration that might affect user preference would be the size and position of the keys. Some users may find it difficult to adjust to the vertical split of the keyboard and may need a period of use before they become accustomed to it.

Another impressive feature is this keyboard's compatibility with both Windows and Mac operating systems with an easy-to-use development that allows users to switch between the two systems by pressing an OS switch at the keyboard's bottom, thereby increasing the keyboard's versatility.

The palm rest support, which is a unique feature of the Perixx Periboard-612, is designed to support the wrists while typing. It is made of durable materials and extends the length of the keyboard, providing ample space for the user's hands. The wrist support helps in relieving pressure on the median nerve, reducing forearm tension, and ensuring that your arms and hands are in a natural position while typing.

Finally, worth noting are the four extra Mac keys and the removable key cap puller that come included in the package. The Perixx Periboard-612 has generally received positive reviews, with an average rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars from over 400 reviews.

In summary, the Perixx Periboard-612 wireless ergonomic USB split keyboard is an excellent option for those looking to avoid aches and pains associated with prolonged typing sessions. The intuitive design balances comfort and performance for an overall satisfying and productive experience. Also, the wireless dual mode, compatibility with both Mac and Windows operating systems, 7 optimized multimedia function keys, and the durable wrist support required for all users.
