Perixx PERIBOARD-322 Large Trackball Mechanical Keyboard - 55 mm Trackball, Tilt Scrolling Wheel, 2 Hubs,RGB Backlit,US English Layout

**Update** i made a note in the review below about the small amount of static friction on the track ball, below. I picked up a tip from elsewhere online which is to get a plain candle and rub it all over the ball to give it a coating of the candle wax then spin the ball around in all directions for a while which causes the synthetic bearings to also be coated with the wax. This has made the track ball super smooth with less static friction than before. Been using this for a good 8 months now so thought it was time for a quick review. I can't quite get my head round the negative reviews on here - I've been using this keyboard for work, solidly for the last 8 months - the quality of the mechanical keys is lovely - brown switches so nice and tactile without being annoyingly loud like the cherry blue types for in the office. It's US layout, but to be honest I much prefer this to UK layout now and have switched to a US layout keyboard at home too - but be aware if you're looking / expecting a UK mapping. i bought he non-illuminated board and the keycaps are the same as the illuminated one by the looks of it - so they're properly produced keycaps where the letters will not wear off with use unlike 99% of the cheaper keyboards I've ever bought with printed caps which have been worn off completely on the most used letters over the years. The integrated trackball is, well, nothing like the usual rubbish that gets integrated into a keyboard. I was a bit worried about the button and scroll wheel placement to start with but turns out to be really usable for me. The scroll whell is "notched" not free rolling so basically like a big version of what you'd get on a mouse. I only just realised the other day that pushing left and right on the scroll wheel actually does horizontal scrolling too - probably detailed somewhere in the instruction book I never bothered to read. Trackball movement is really nice, it's up there with the big kensingtons etc - it's "clicked" into place so doesn't just lift out of the board (so the ball won't just fall out if you move the keyboard). It's optically tracked and really accurate, there's two dpi settings selectable from a function key / f9 combination but there's no indication on the board of which DPI mode it's in but I don't really change it very often. I've yet to have had to take out the ball for cleaning also seems to be really good at not picking up and accumulating dust etc. It's a lovely solid, decent built keyboard with a bit of weight to it. Will probably last years. Braided USB cable. What's more to say. Really happy with it - absolute bargain given how much you'd pay for a trackball of this size and quality and a decent mechanical keyboard if bought separately.

You'd think when you par the better part of £100 for a keyboard that it would work for a while. This was lovely, a little skittish with the tracking ball but nothing that caused much concern. Then the right click went kaput. On the same day I'm trying to finish work for a client while we're all in lockdown and I have to revert to the very old keyboard that gives me cramps. What joy.

I bought this unit for my wife as she is a touch typist. We also used to have a separate keyboard and trackball in our recording studio. This all in one keyboard and trackball, she absolutely loves it. Thank you

Excellent Quality, proper keys, large trackball, if I was to fault it in anyway it would be the backlight only seems to illuminate the top half of keys e.g. I can see %, &, * but not the 5, 7, 8, however, as they are also on the number pad it's only a small gripe.

good item

The keyboard works, the trackball works, but that is about it. The keyboard I got does not have a UK layout, with anoying issues like the "@" signe over the number 2., but you might like that. Not for me. The keyboard is loud - comically so. Like a throwback to the age of typewriters. No padding there whatsoever. Overall the manufacturing feels very cheap. The keys are large and clanky and very deep. no subtlety here. The trackball is a bit large for my likeing and works, but again lacks subtelty. All in all it is not worth more than £30 in my oppinion, and I do like the form factor, but it is let down by it's quality. Certainly not worth the money.

Really poor keyboard layout that cramps keys in awkward positions for your wrist. This takes way any ergonomic benefits the trackball has. Also not a true mechanical keyboard. I returned the keyboard after using it for a few days.

La tastiera soddisfa egregiamente il suo compito. La pressione dei singoli tasti è davvero soft e reattiva ed il trackball è comodo da utilizzare e sensibile sin dai minimi spostamenti (i tasti destro e sinistro sono perfettamente posizionati sotto la sfera e la rotella di scroll è tarata con il giusto scatto di scorrimento) Il prezzo però mi sembra un po' altino

I am keeping the below review as it was true for the first one received changed to 5 star and have a few suggestions to ease into this keyboard trackball. Got the new keyboard love it but beware of a few things and I have added a few suggestions to work your way into this keyboard / trackball. 1. buy some Kinesiology Tape as using this trackball will use some muscles you have not used for a while and you will find some soreness in the following areas. The tape will eliminate the strain as your body gets used to using these new areas. a. wrist over of the first couple fingers b. forearm right side c. bicep area front right d. going into the tri-cep area 2. It takes a little bit of time to get used to the different way to use the trackball and buttons but by the end of one day I was pretty set and got back into a nice pattern. 3. keyboard keys are high yes more like an older typewriter and noisy. Same as a lot of the gamer keyboards that are coming out these days. I am a very heavy keyboard user I am on the keyboard non stop at least 9 hours straight a day and sometimes more so I for one will recommend this keyboard but again use the tape to get your muscles used to it and then you will be a happy camper letting your fingers type nice and fast yet again. So I read a lot of reviews on this and decided to purchase it ... there are several points I would like to make on this review. 1. you don't need both USB plugs to be able to run the keyboard and trackball you only need one. The second one seems to power the spare usb ports (hub). 2. The location of the trackball and size of the trackball is awesome (would be better if they worked) 3. Keyboard is load but not hard to press the buttons actually comfortable typing on it. 4. to fit everything on the one keyboard your space bar is shorter but honestly not an issue. 5. Keyboard with the light a must if you ask me I like keeping it on solid color personally but hey you have options. 6. Having the keyboard / number pad trackball and buttons all in line like they are is very awesome. 7. Noticed no sticky keys and I am sure I have hit them all a few dozen times by now. Now double striking either. Please also note before anyone comments on this. 1. I took out the trackball cleaned the trackball 2. cleaned the entire area the trackball goes into once I did that I did it again still nothing 3. I looked for drivers (just in case) 4. made sure it had the latest drivers. 5. was concerned the mfg. website doesn't even list this item as one of the models but hey maybe it is new and they have not put it on there yet. 6. tried to download a manual and it was not a valid web page. So I type all day long my job consists of emails about 100+ a day putting in orders (so a lot of working with numbers) updating notes and busy work on our system Even though the trackball didn't work I used the keyboard all day yesterday from the time it arrived to see if I like the keyboard and I noticed myself going straight to the trackball for my mouse. I have asked for a replacement with hopes the trackball works on the replacement as this is going to be a great keyboard. I will update this review once I get the new one in and rate it accordingly if the trackball works .... couldn't give it anything higher than a 1 star as the main function the trackball was not working

Clavier vraiment pratique !.. Belle qualité !.. Le Tackball est top, l'intensité du rétro-éclairage des touches est réglable et peut être carrément désactivé, appréciable !.. Les touches ne sont pas silencieuses mais le " bruit " est modéré. Ce clavier avec son Trackball intégré est vraiment un bel ensemble fonctionnel : clavier agréable, vrai Trackball de qualité !

Brilliant keyboard, tactile keys make typing pleasurable and easy on my fingers, plus the trackball instead of mouse has reduced the strain on my wrist. Not having a wireless connection is also a bonus, there's no "black spot" on my desk for this and, in the long run, not having to replace or recharge batteries is good for the environment. It's well made and feels robust, so I'm looking forward to many years with it. Delivery time was quick, packaging was robust, it arrived with zero damage and early. Can't ask for more.

Cumple las expectativas, aunque el tacto de las teclas no es agradable, eso sería una mejora significativa.
