Perixx PERIBOARD-538 US Wired Compact USB Keyboard with Trackball - X-Type Scissor Key - 15.63"x7.8"x1.46" 397x198x37mm - Built-in 2 USB Hubs - Black

The PERIBOARD-538 US Wired Compact Keyboard with Trackball has received mixed reviews from customers, highlighting both its functionality and its shortcomings. While the keyboard boasts a full 104-key layout complete with a number pad and function keys, which can be handy in limited space setups like server racks, many reviewers have pointed out issues that limit its appeal. Customers have noted that the term "compact" might be misleading, as the keyboard is relatively wide and thick, feeling bulkier than expected for a so-called compact model. Users have also raised concerns about the keyboard's build quality, likening it to that of budget keyboards, which may not be suitable for lengthy typing sessions. The tactile feedback of the keys is described as functional but lacking in comfort compared to higher-end models. The trackball, although initially gritty, reportedly performs better after cleaning, yet it has been criticized for its placement and inConsistent functionality, especially during certain system environments, with some users tapping it unintentionally. Furthermore, the absence of scrolling capabilities with the trackball has disappointed multiple users, who feel that this feature should be standard in such a design. Overall, while the keyboard serves basic functions and provides a complete set of keys, it seems to fall short of expectations for users seeking a compact and ergonomic typing experience. **
