Review: BEST keyboard you can buy, both for key feel and ergonomic/proper design! - Long review ahead: short version, just buy it and try it. You won't be returning it, trust me! This is not only an absolutely fantastic SPLIT style keyboard, but also one of the best in terms of key/tactile feel I've ever owned. I've tried all the usual mechanical keyboards, blue & brown switches (way overrated IMO) along with the legendary buckling spring switches. Yes, this is a rubber dome keyboard, BUT, it feels to me anyhow like a quiet and lighter touch buckling spring keyboard (think IBM Model M) without all the racket a buckling spring or cherry blue switch (or even brown) keyboard can make. It has a nice tactile snap to the keys and sounds similar to a Topre keyboard (youtube it) and has a nice muffled "thock" type sound, no clacky-ness at all. Even the larger stabilized keys are mostly quiet, and the one or two that aren't can be made quiet by adding a little white grease lube (search amzn for elite keyboards grease) to the metal stabilizer underneath the key after carefully removing it with a keycap puller or very carefully prying off. This keyboard has a little shorter key travel distance than a full key height keyboard; about 80%, but is just enough shorter that it is actually a better travel distance IMO and allows for a very quick and light touch to the keys, but still gives that satisfying "press" you get on a full travel keyboard. As noted above, the key feel is light, but not too light and has a nice tactile snap (think buckling spring) that you will not get with the overrated mx brown style switch. The split of the board is perfect and puts your hands, arms and shoulders in a very natural position for typing, and also has a full size wrist rest to place the palms of your hands when not actively typing. One thing some folks may complain about is the arrow/home key cluster; do not let that deter you from trying this board. I actually prefer this layout as it allows your trackball (or mouse) to come in closer to your hands than if they used the standard ibm layout. Once you get used to the more condensed layout of the arrow keys and home/end/delete cluster, you'll realize it is very very logically laid out and actually makes more sense. So IMO I believe it's truly a better layout than the older IBM format. Your mileage may vary. I've been using split keyboards since the original MS one came out in the late 90's and this Perixx split keyboard is very similar to the old MS elite version, but much better. The key feel and overall construction along with a split spacebar make THIS keyboard the best split keyboard you can buy, not to mention it's an incredible value also. I pair this board with a Logitech M570 trackball and it's a match made in heaven. My hands and wrists never experience pain and typing on this board is so comfortable and the muted/quiet, light snappy tactile feedback is incredible. I have never enjoyed a keyboard more than this one. It hits ALL the checkboxes. I'd happily pay 2-3 times what they charge for it also. And have for other boards that couldn't hold a candle to this one. Note: I was NOT paid or compensated in any way to write this review, and I normally don't write reviews unless I really like something. I LOVE this keyboard :-) and you will too. If you are new to split keyboards, use this one solely for a week and you will not go back to a non-split board ever again, and when/if you have to use a "normal" keyboard you'll wonder how you ever did. Ping me in the questions section, happy to share my experience or answer any questions you may have. Happy typing!
Review: Made a noticeable difference in my elbow pain - I loved this keyboard almost immediately. I spend a lot of time typing, and I had been dealing with pretty significant tennis elbow pain. I was getting to the point where working at the computer was becoming uncomfortable, so I started changing my desk setup to see if it would help. The split design puts my hands and wrists in a much more natural position than a standard straight keyboard. I was surprised by how quickly I noticed a difference. My elbow pain eased considerably almost right away when typing with this keyboard. There is a little bit of an adjustment period if you're used to a traditional keyboard. The keys are positioned differently because of the split, so I had to pay a little more attention to where my hands were at first. It didn't take me long to get comfortable with it. I like having the built in wrist rest, but I do wish it had some padding. It's comfortable in terms of positioning my wrists, but a little cushioning would have made it much better, especially when I'm typing for hours at a time. It's wired USB, which I don't mind at all. There's nothing to pair, no Bluetooth connection to lose, and no battery to think about. I plug it in and I'm ready to work.

## Features

- Split-Key Ergonomic Design: One-piece split layout separates keys into left and right zones to reduce wrist bending and support a natural hand position, helping minimize strain during long hours of typing.
- Long Key Travel & Tactile Feedback: Extended key travel delivers responsive, tactile feedback with audible confirmation, similar to brown mechanical switches. Built for durability with up to 20 million keystrokes.
- Old-School Curved Row Design: Stepped, curved key rows promote a natural typing posture and reduce fatigue during long sessions. Made from high-quality ABS with membrane switches and 4.2 mm key travel.
- Ergonomic Curved Keycaps: Curved keycaps with flatter tops and back edges fit fingertip contours for improved comfort and control. Available in black, beige, and white color options.
- Natural Learning Curve: Ergonomic shape may require a short adjustment period. Most users adapt within 1–2 weeks and experience improved comfort and reduced wrist pressure with continued use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this compare to the microsoft ergonomic 4000 keyboard? i’ve been using the ms4000 for years on my imacs, but ms has not updated the driver.**
A: I actually use the MS 4000 at home; I bought the Perixx for a friend.  However, I’ve used it when visiting, and I find the main keyboards virtually identical: the touch is just a little different, but I had no problem with it.  The one real difference is in the arrangement of the arrow keys and the block of six keys including Insert, Home, etc.: the former are arranged in a diamond, and the latter in a 3x2 block instead of a 2×3 block.  That did take a little getting used to, but I was adapting pretty well even after a short visit.

**Q: Is this a mechanical keyboard? What kind of switch does it uses?**
A: This keyboard uses a rubber dome switch. See my review for full details, but, it has a GREAT snappy tactile feel to it with virtually no clackiness at all. The best way I can describe it is to compare it to a light touch, quiet buckling spring keyboard (think IBM Model M or the newer Unicomp versions). The Cherry MX switches, blue or brown do NOT provide the same sort of feel this board does and I'd take this over mx blue/brown or buckling spring any day of the week. I've had those boards and choose this one due to the key feel and of course the superior split layout. The comfort cannot be beat.

**Q: Any know if this keyboard works with a mac, such as a macbook pro?  my old microsoft 4000 ergonomic no longer keeps up its software & soon won't work.**
A: Yes, I use it in a Macbook Pro with High Sierra at work.

**Q: Is this a soft touch keyboard, meaning nonstiff keys, they push well with gentle strokes?**
A: I find that if I don't press hard, I lose keystrokes.  I've had the keyboard for a couple of weeks.  Before that I had a Logitech cordless comfort duo and this was the closest thing I could find to that but this is a little bit less sensitive than that one was and frankly I find it frustrating.   Both had "real" keys not chicklet keys like a laptop.

I'm hoping and expecting to get used to it but for now I'm considering my options because I drop a lot of letters that I didn't with the logitech.  Unfortunately they don't make the logitech one anymore and logitech has gone all in on the wave keyboard, which while nice, is less ergo than the cordless comfort.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement for MNE4000 keyboard - but no programmable keys
*by S***R on July 3, 2026*

I, like many others I can see in the reviews, bought this to replace an aging Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard that is sadly no longer manufactured. So that is the basis of my comparison here. I've used it for a full work day so far and it works well. Overall, it is a great ergonomic keyboard, especially for the price (I bought it on Prime Day for around $33!). Now, onto the comparison details for those interested. As you can see in my pics, my old MNE keyboard is very old and worn and dirty, lol...well loved and used. I even had to replace most of the worn off letter keys with stickers which worked well for a while. One of the pics has different color lines on it. Yellow = The keys that are not on the Perixx keyboard that I am sad about. The Perixx board has NO programmable keys! I will miss that. Other keys I will miss are the dedicated calculator button and the forward/back buttons. Green = Keys the new board doesn't have that I won't miss/never used. Also keys on the new Perixx board I will NEVER use. That row of silver buttons at the top is useless to me. I really wish those were programmable, I would have given 5 stars for that. Pink = There is no F-lock key and I'm not sure yet if that will be a problem, but I think not. Blue = As others have stated, the key arrangement in this area is odd and tight and will take some getting used to. But it's not a dealbreaker to me. It's more important that the keys exist (because they don't on some other ergo boards). The shape of some of the keys on the ends (shift, ctrl, space bar) will take a little getting used to as well, but it's only been a day, I think it won't be a problem. One thing I am kind of happy about is that the palm rest on the Perixx is the same material. That soft stuff on the MNE board was nice for about a year then rapidly disintegrated and I had to crochet a little cover to keep the black stuff off my hands. The Perixx board is a good, responsive, full-keyed ergo board and I hope it lasts several years.
