It's new keyboard time, Perixx Periduo, anyone use this brand
For several years I've used the Logitech Wave 350 ergonomic keyboard and mouse, prefer the setup because it give a better angle for your wrists.

Was ready to pull the trigger on a new Logitech of the same/similar model and stumbled across a Perixx keyboard and mouse, wireless.

Decided I'd give it a try, if I don't like it Jeff B will take it right back at no charge and I'll get a new Logitech.

Used the current one so much that I've worn the lettering off several of the keys. Doesn't really affect my ability to use it since I learned to type without looking down in High School.

Curious if anyone has used a Perixx Keyboard, and how they liked/disliked it, did it hold up, guess since I ordered it and it's here today I'll find out anyway.

We've had a few people with similar models to this.
I must be a poor typist, I cross over too often to use these split-middle designs.

I have been using the ergo keyboards for 15+ years now.
Started with the Microsoft natural ergo keyboard.

I bought this Perixx model in May of this year and have adjusted to it pretty well.

I prefer wired over wireless and if I had my choice, the KB would be larger like the old MS keyboards.

I just use the cheap ergo Microsoft version (wired) for work and it's fine. That one reminds me of the newer Microsoft version I don't like as much for some reason.

I am no longer a split keyboard kinda guy, but the Perixx 535 looks interesting.

I went to a mechanical keyboard several years ago and I hate to go back to a membrane. It is a completely different typing experience.

looks like a nice keyboard. i like the more mechanical keys.

but the logi i'm using has support for 3 different systems - 1 keyboard - 3 computers.

doesn't look like the peri supports that - that would be a deal breaker for me.

I use a keyboard with mechanical keys. I think mine implements the cherry mx brown keys. It's pricey but Mon - Fri I am typing at least 10 hours per day. Think of it like the IBM AT keyboards of yesteryear. Very positive feel. You can get much quieter keys with the same feel. I believe they are MX Red?

Good to know. I'll stick w/ my Ergo then. The keys don't really have great feel but it's been working okay.
