Perixx PERIBOARD-106M, Wired Performance Full-Size USB Keyboard, Curved Ergonomic Keys, Classic Retro Gray/White Color, US English Layout

Have had this for three years now, no fancy buttons or lights or design - it just works, every timeHave spilled stuff on it and dropped it, has good weight and feelAs for the sound the keys make, they make a sort of "thok" sound, especially if you're a fast typerI use it for just about everything, gaming, productivity, extensive typing, it's handled the test of time and daily use.Definitely recommend if you're looking for a no-bs keyboard that you can rely on.

I've received many comments about my keyboard. the top of it has no branding so it looks just like a generic old style keyboard. The space bar doesn't feel loose or wobbly, and it doesn't light up. I'm so tired of keyboards that look like I'm some sort of edgy teen.The drawbacks to some people that this is membrane and not mechanical aren't drawbacks for me. I'm a light touch on a keyboard so I expect it to last for years.

I love this keyboard for the loud clicking noise ... I grew up associating a key stroke with a noise, so using the newer "silent" keyboards doesn't allow me to realize I've missed a stroke. It doesn't have the fancy stuff - like volume control, but I can control that on my computer, so not a big deal.

It is such a joy being able to return to the days of real mechanical keyboards that allow those of us who learned to touch type actually to type and hear the keys. This product is a faithful recreation of the old IBM keyboard. The only issue is that some of the grey keys do not work with Mac, such as the Num Lock key. Also, the key combinations on Mac, such as CTL. and F4, do not work. To use Mac-specific keys, you will have to keep your Mac keyboard handy.

I got this after a terrible experience with a (fairly expensive) mechanical keyboard which was more show than go. While this is a membrane keyboard the key resistance and depth it takes to is to me, perfect. I don't expect it to last forever - and of course individual keys cannot be replaced but it has a great tactile feel. The only *slight* knock would be that the home-row F and J keys have very slight raised bits (see photo), some reviews complained they are missing, the are there just maybe not pronounced enough compared to the old IBM selectric style.Feels heavier than it is, may be due to the rubber feet being engineered to resist being dragged.All in all, 5 stars for the full sized designed in Dusseldorf, made in China keyboard.

Clickety clackity Old school ekeyboard Feels great- each individual key and good sound

Spitting image of the old IBM "clicky" keyboard, but lacks the click and spring-back that made the old keyboard a pleasure to type on.

The media could not be loaded. I've been looking for retro-ish items for my desktop setup for awhile and this keyboard has been near the top of my list since then. There aren't many recently manufactured boards that so perfectly mimic the look and feel of a late 90s keyboard, I found it hard to locate any that don't resemble a typical gaming keyboard just with retro-gray/beige coloring. This keyboard was exactly what I was looking for, it reminds me of playing computer games on our old dell desktop. As for the overall sound and key-feel, the sound is clacky but dampened, so you can be assured it won't irritate anyone in the vicinity while still being satisfying to hear. The keys are easy to press and have a very enjoyable springy/gummy kind of feeling. I have no desire to take the keyboard apart to inspect it but I imagine the keys are attached to rubber spring cups like the kind on a macbook keyboard, or at least something similar. There's a very squishy feel to each key press. I am a casual pc gamer, and I can already tell this keyboard will still be enjoyable to use for pc games. As for the quality of the materials used, the casing and keys are obviously plastic, but the plastic does not feel cheap or thin like it will shatter if dropped 3 feet onto the ground. It's sturdy yet lightweight.If you're like me and love the nostalgic feeling of old tech, or if you just like the aesthetic of retro items, I highly recommend this keyboard. I only just received it, but I'm hoping it will last me for years to come, it's already become one of my favorite pieces of hardware I own. I'll be sure to update this review if I encounter any problems with the keyboard throughout regular use.
