perixxPERIBOARD-407 Compact USB Keyboard, 11 Multimedia Keys, Easy Setup, Piano Black, UK Layout

This is a great little keyboard !Highly recommended, 5 stars !Great for one hand typing, it has big clear lettering, a nice positive feel to the key presses, all the necessary keys and none of the ones I don't need !All the keys are consistently sensitive and responsive and the lettering is big and clear which makes it perfect for typing in low light.I quickly got used to the size and spacing of the keys and now only a few hours later I would not want to go back to that old Logitech KB ! Key spacing is very slightly tighter than STD spacing but it's a great KB to type on especially if you prefer to type with one hand like me.It's not at all clattery or creaky like some KB's, I do like the slightly muted sound of the keys.It has all of the important keys such as Left CTRL, Right CTRL, left and right Shift keys, Delete, Insert, Home, and End Keys and a good sized well placed Enter key plus full size Arrow keys, most compact keyboards don't !I'm replacing my old Logitech keyboard because it's noisy, clattery, creaky, hard to see the letters in low light and some of the keys are getting a little sticky, I found myself making more and more typo's and having to correct them which makes typing a bit of a chore. I have been wanting to replace it for some time and had this one on my wish list for months while I searched for a replacement. It had to be small because I use it on my lap not on a desk and I wanted something that would feel right, it also had to have really good customer reviews, this was a great choice !UPDATE, 3 years later it has given me no issues whatsoever ! It has been dropped on the floor dozens of times, I have sometimes trodden on the cable when standing up and it got dragged off my lap and it still works like new, the cable is undamaged and there are no signs of it pulling out !One of the biggest benefits is that the gaps between the keys are too small for crumbs and dust so you don't have to clean out under the keys, the HP keyboards I use at work are terrible by comparison !

I bought this keyboard to use with my new desktop computer, a Raspberry Pi3. I went from Apple laptops to now using this little tiny unpowerful computer (by today's standards) and it provides decent power at an amazing price. I realized that 95% of the time all I do is type (I'm a writer) and browse the web (the other 5% I can use my wife's Macbook anyway!). This works great. I bought a very fancy IBM Model F keyboard on the internet that won't ship until late 2017, so I needed a keyboard to tide me over until my monster keyboard arrives. I wasn't expecting much from this little white keyboard, but it has impressed me! I'm almost wondering if my super expensive one that I've pre-ordered is going to be worth it. The layout is perfect for me. I love the arrow keys and the inclusion of the Home, Page Up, Page Down, and End keys. And I don't miss the numpad at all, because I wouldn't ever use it anyway. This keyboard has got a great layout I think. The build quality is fine, the keyboard is compact and unobtrusive. Also, I'm not bothered that it's a wired keyboard. I have a wireless trackball mouse and that's nice to get some of the wire clutter off the desk, but having this one cable is just fine and dandy for me. Perfect price/performance ratio. Over my expectations.

I brought this keyboard because my new computer desk tray will not support a full size keyboard, I searched a lot before I settled on this one.When you open it there is a film you have to peel off, this reveals the black piano finish, I didn't even turn my computer off to plug this is, it just worked.Now, its a good keyboard with a good feel to it, it doesn't slip about on the desk and the keys have bright white lettering, it is not back lit so if that's what you're after then this isn't for you.The keys have a sold feel when pressed but please note "THIS IS NOT A SILENT KEYBOARD", its not massively loud but just not as quiet as some. There is an audible click when you press a key, it won't wake granny or the kids but just be aware of it.As you can see from my pictures, the mouse is a full size gaming mouse so there is plenty of room now for both the mouse and the keyboard, the other picture shows that the keys are very clearly marked, it takes a little getting used to as I have always used a full sized board, a few days in and its now okay.If your number lock comes on automatically on booting your computer you will have to go into the BIOS settings as it boots to change NumLk from on to off. This sounds hard but its really simple, there are countless videos on the tube showing you how to do this, failing that just turn it off manually after the computer starts or otherwise you will be typing numbers instead of characters on the right hand side of the keyboard.The last picture shows the number/character key combination, if you are used to a laptop then this won't be a problem.The fn keys have volume up/down and mute, internet and email keys all work as well as video play pause etc.Overall I am 90% happy, if this was back lit and quieter I would be a totally happy boy.Would I buy it again? Certainly, yes.
