Perixx PERIBOARD-515H Wired USB Keyboard with Touchpad, Compact Trackpad Keyboard with 2 Hubs, Black, US English Layout (11049)

I have been looking for a wired keyboard and mouse combo like this for a long time. I've been wanting to get something similar to the wireless Logitech keyboard I had been using because I wanted to not have to change batteries whenever they died and a rechargeable keyboard seems redundant as you'd have to plug it in anyway. I had spent some time looking around and even though this is about $60, it's one of the best options available. Let's start with the GOOD:First is that it is small. I noticed that was a complaint some people had but I'm used to smaller keyboards like the Logitech and I wanted to continue that here. In general the layout is VERY similar so I didn't have to get used to much.Next this keyboard does indeed use two finger scrolling. It says it can do side to side but that doesn't appear to be the case, though up and down works just fine.The keyboard is membrane based so it is quiet which is nice when my spouse is sleeping.It has two USB ports in the side which is quite useful.A few downsides are:Sometimes when I'm Left Clicking I get a right click. I'm not sure how this happens.The question mark key is on the other side of the up arrow key, which takes some getting used to.Two finger scrolling isn't very forgiving if you go somewhat diagonally on the mouse pad.All that aside I'm much happier with this one than I have any other wired keyboard. If you're used to the Logitech keyboard, this is a very small learning curve to get used to.

The keyboard works fine, the usb ports are quite handy in my line of work.But the trackball is entirely too sensitive and inconsistent in its sensitivity. My guess is it needs to be a tad larger to help with the sensitivity.Update 5-22-14The Windows Key, T,Y, Backspace and the Menu key near right CTL all stopped working, they would intermittently work, but not anymore.I could tell when they were going work, the Numlock light would come on, and all keys would work. Now it does not come on and those keys don't work.I can plug in another keyboard in the USB port and use it. and still have access to the trackball though....so there's that.I think I'm gonna break down and buy the Adesso modelAdesso Mini Trackball USB Keyboard (ACK-5010UB)

It looked well built and worked right away when I plugged it into my Windows/Linux Home Theater PC (HTPC). I was very excited to finally have a compact keyboard that I could tuck away behind the TV, and occasionally use it to maintain or update my HTPC. When I'm in my OS, I usually use my Steam controller's on-screen keyboard. So I mainly needed a keyboard/touchpad to install various operating systems, which leads me to my biggest complaint: The Delete and F2 don't work during boot, so I can't enter the BIOS.This does not have the full functionality that you would expect from a wired keyboard. If anyone can recommend a compact combination keyboard/touchpad that can accomplish this, please let me know.

I was looking for a USB-based keyboard that's light, easy to type and use, and has a built-in touchpad. This was exactly what I needed. Due to some limitation I couldn't use a Bluetooth keyboard so this is perfect. Works great on Windows, Mac, and even my son's Linux computer. It's lightweight and fits in my backpack. The only thing that takes time to get used to is that the ?/ key is all the way to the right so you need to hit it with the pinky. Other than that, I wouldn't change anything. I'd definitely buy again.

This combination keyboard is just the ticket for a messy lab bench where computers are being moved around all the time.It's much more compact than a normal keyboard, but the keys are still full size and in a normal alignment so it's still possible to touch type at a reasonable pace.The built-in trackpad means there's only one cable to swap between different computers and don't need a flat surface for a regular mouse to move.And unlike a wireless keyboard, there's no pairing or batteries. Just plug it in.My main complaint is that the forward slash (/) and question mark (?) key is banished all the way to the right of the shift and up-arrow keys. Linux users will curse every time they mistype a pathname with lots of slashes.And a minor nit is that the keyboard sometimes powers on with the num-lock mode enabled, which superimposes a traditional number pad on part of the letter keys. It took me a while to figure out why my password kept getting rejected, until I noticed the "1" indicator LED was lit. Turning off num-lock mode is not terribly intuitive--you have to press Fn and Num Lock simultaneously.

I use this to initialize my Raspberry Pis, so I can only speak from that perspective. Raspbian recognizes both the keyboard and track pad, and as long as the keyboard is set to a US / genetic layout, it works great. (The GBR mapping swaps | for ~, I think).I really like the compactness and usefulness of this combo device.

I got this keyboard for a kiosk. It worked ok at first but after a while the keys switched layout. All the letters on the left hand of the keyboard changed like "w" changed to "@" and "s" to "w". I tried it on several computers and it did the same time. It was very cheap. Do not bother with this keyboard.

The keyboard is Ok, but it does not have a standard layout with the / on the far end. The track pad buttons feel fragile and will probably not last long. Although the price seems atractive, there may be better options for a bit more.
