Perixx PERIBOARD-709 - Keyboard - wireless - 2.4 GHz - trackball - USB wireless receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This keyboard is rediculously small.Take a sheet of notebook paper, fold it in half, and you have the footprint of this keyboard.It is nearly perfect for where I'm using it.I needed a keyboard for my CarPC.The CarPC touch screen is handy, but a wireless keyboard with a built in mouse is more effective for other tasks including entering navigation directions and or accessing the computer BIOS.
The keyboard is a QWERTY style keyboard with all the keys where you'd expect them.The layout is very similar to that of a laptop keyboard.There's a small inverted T cursor tree for navigation that really helps.There is a full compliment of function keys as well as the specialized windows key.The trackball is a great addition, but it is a little hypersensetive, so dial back the sensetivity in Windows to make the mouse more controllable.

PROS
-----
1. Small size for use in areas / situations with limited stowing options (CarPC)
2. Built in trackball mouse for navigation.
3. Wireless RF connection, doesn't require line of sight to work.10' ft range.
4. The USB RF adaptor fits securely into the keyboard base, so it won't get lost.

CONS
----
1. The trackball ball doesn't fit firmly in its holder, so the movement isn't quite as smooth as it could be.
2. The keys are quite small if you have large hands like me (6'2", 250lb), but it is better than the Logitech Dinovo Mini.
3. Pricey.While it is nearly half the price of a Dinovo Mini, it is still pricey for a nitch item.
4. No dedicated on/off button which could save battery life.

OTHER
-----
A tweak to the keyboard layout could have made the keyboard smaller and the keys larger.Too bad they didn't place the trackball in the upper right corner and the mouse buttons in the upper left corner like on Microsoft and Adesso wireless media keyboards I own.There is quite a bit of wasted space in the curent design.

All in all, this is an excellent solution for people with specific needs, like my CarPC.I can simple store the keyboard in my door pocket and pull it out when either myself or my passenger(s) need to use it.
