## Description

Mechanical keyboard with built-in 2.17 inch (55mm) large trackball and tilting scroll wheel

Review: Great all in one keyboard - The scroll wheel takes your thumb or index and middle finger used to, no more wrist motion or pulling and dragging, because the scroll mouse is integrated next to the keyboard you can set it on your lap when you need a rest from the up high keyboard tray or desk setup. I purposely was looking for a scroll wheel instead of a keyboard with laptop style touch pad because i need the scroll wheel for editing, i like to “grab” a drawing by pressing the scroll wheel then moving items with the trackbal or zooming in and out to navigate within a drawing. I find it useful for editing and speed. Also wanted it for my keyboard tray and be able to place it on my lap. I have the mouse right next to the keyboard so less knocking down the mouse out of the tray. The LED light was another reason I bought this not because of all the blinking features wich I don’t care for I just used the solid light on keyboard feature but as some reviews say the top numbers are not lit and that’s true, I’ll attach a picture. but atleast the side number keys are lit. I didn’t have any issues with the trackball being jumpy or issues or it being too fast as some review say, mine came ready to go out of the box, really accurate, I draw electrical boxes and schematics for a living and it’s working for me great, it captures the smallest motions, hope it doesnt wear out as I need these sensitive motions when I draw curves and fine details. I like the scroll wheel, this has side clicking as well for scrolling sideways, pretty cool I didn’t know it had that. Overall all I love it doesn’t feel cheap like some say. It feels like any other keyboard material out there. The price? I didn’t like the price at first but since I’m enjoying using it I don’t think of the 150 anymore. It’s actually worth the price for a great large tract ball, LED light up keys. But it’s great for anyone really not just specific for editing or drafting. Only thing that people like on it that I do not, is the clanky noise the keys make. I’m used to my laptop soft key sounds and my dell and accer desk top keyboard that are soft key presses. These keys are high profile, there’s buffer in between the press of the key, which to me is fine it’s not noticeable until you start comparing. my laptop keyboard has no buffer you press and it types. This one you have to let the weight of your finger down just a bit into it but it’s two or three hairs less sensitive as a laptop keyboard.
Review: Great keyboard, slightly weird layout - I bought this keyboard as a backup keyboard when I'm sitting in a recliner. My normal setup is a Kensington SlimBlade trackball and a top-shelf mechanical keyboard. This is a great replacement, especially when I'm traveling but still want a full keyboard/trackball. The trackball itself is trapped in the keyboard (you can push it out with some pressure for cleaning), which is really nice so it doesn't go bouncing across the room! The keyboard has a bit of an unusual layout, because it's narrower than other 101 key keyboards. Some things are in weird places, particularly the Home/Delete/etc keys, but that also brings in the trackball to be close to the (normal layout) numeric keypad. Overall, it took me just a few hours to get used to this layout, and I'm very picky about things like that. (I got the US version with the pipe/backslash keyboard over the Enter key, where it belongs!) The Delete key is in a strange place, compared to most laptop keyboards, but at least I won't accidentally hit it. The keys themselves have a nice travel and click, but not overly obnoxious or even loud like an IBM Model M keyboard. They're probably about the same volume as Cherry Brown switches, but not quite as satisfying to press. However, I can type pretty quickly with this keyboard and the keys are nicely shaped, except that the keys are pretty smooth and not quite enough texture (so your fingers slightly slip, but if that bothers you you can add grip stickers). Note that these keys are basically about the same as nearly all mid-range keyboards sold on desertcart, and even some high-end ones, so that's really not too bad. The cable is great - long, fabric covered, and with two sturdy looking plugs. I would have preferred to see a bit more strain relief at the keyboard end, because it arrives bent into the box and I don't want it to get damaged, but it's really a very nice cable. The entire keyboard is plastic-covered, which I prefer because it won't bother me if I'm wearing shorts and metal doesn't really add anything here (the keyboard is very stiff and doesn't flex even when I bang very hard.) If plastic-covered was good enough for the IBM Model M, it's good enough for anything. Given how extremely unusual it is to even find a keyboard with a built-in trackball (let alone such a great trackball -- it's very good, even if it's not quite as good as a Kensington Slim Blade which costs about as much as this keyboard by itself, or my Das Keyboard which also cost as much as this keyboard!) and given the quality of the keyboard itself and the great price, I'm definitely giving this my highest recommendation. Once I got used to the layout and realized that I might even be MORE productive with this slightly compressed layout, I might even ditch my other fancier equipment. If this is Perixx's first try at a trackball-keyboard combo, it's a stunning debut... I'm a huge fan!

### ⭐ A waste! Didn't work correctly out of the box
*by J***S on July 13, 2024*

I was so excited to get this. I. A studio setting these style keyboards are great, and even makes working with a DAW and severe carpal tunnel easier. Hooked it up, and none of the keys would light up. The track ball is nice but the mouse buttons have only worked half the time, and then it's sketchy. Tried it on my work PC (which it was bought for), my personal gaming PC, work laptop, and my personal gaming laptop. Same with every single device.
