5.0 out of 5 stars Love this keyboard
A very well made, old style keyboard. Nice key feel and click and if you like the old style VT or IBM keyboards you will like this keyboard. Has all the keys I need and works very well with my Linux Debian computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Keyboard
If you have ever used the Old IBM keyboards from their PC Days you will love this keyboard, it is manufactured just like the old clicky one of yesteryear, its responsive by giving a noticeable click, and the touch is perfect! I use it on my HP, Laptop, and I make no where near the errors when I type now. I think if I would practice Icould regain my speed of 75 wpm.... no more hunting and pecking.... If you grew up using a typewriter or clicky keyboard you will really enjoy this keyboard. No more squish and miss.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great and attainable membrane keyboard! Easy recommendation.
I grew up in the golden age of computing. I learned to type on an IBM Model M and still use a Unicomp Model M. My favorite keyboard from the 90s was probably a Packard Bell that had BTC dome with sliders. For a long while, my daily was an Apple Magic Keyboard, but I wanted more tactility, like the Model M, but quiet to avoid waking the family at night. This led me to a Keychron with Gateron browns. I love all of these keyboards. They each have their own unique characteristics that make them a joy to type on.When I started developing carpal tunnel syndrome because the work-issued HP/Dell membrane keyboard gave so little feedback that it would force me to type with more heavy-handedness to ensure that keys would register, I went looking for an affordable keyboard that would give better tactility and have no problems replacing if it were stolen from my office. It had to also be relatively quiet given the office environment. This led me to the Perixx Periboard 106, which I learned about from keyboard enthusiasts on YouTube.The Periboard has a very nostalgic design. It looks and feels the Keytronic keyboards from the late 90s. While I used a Keytronic back then, I was not a fan at the time, as I was into more clicky keyboards. It was however very quiet. This Periboard does feel more tactile than I recall the Keytronic being. In fact, it has more tactility than the Gateron browns on my Keychron. The Gateron browns feel linear to me, likely because I am used to high actuation force keyboards like the Model M. That said, the Periboard does require higher actuation force than the Gateron browns.In testing my typing speed on the Periboard, I am able to achieve 98wpm at 98% accuracy, comparable to the Keychron w/Gateron browns. This is up from my 87wpm when typing on the Unicomp Model M. What this tells me is that the Periboard's actuation force, while higher, is not so high that it slows me down, but gives me more tactility. And in using the Periboard for a month now at work, I find it has indeed relieved my wrist pain.I can highly recommend this keyboard and I would easily buy it again if I ever lost mine. It is the least expensive keyboard I own, but does not feel cheaply made, has an excellent balance between tactility and actuation force requirements, has a very pleasant typing sound / sound signature, and also has wonderful nostalgic value for people who grew up during the earlier days of computing--before the Internet became widespread.Update 7/1/2023:I came to like my white PERIBOARD so much, that I was sure that this keyboard would be my end-game keyboard. I decided to buy another one for home, to replace my Keychron (which is still too light for my taste). This time I bought a black one. The black one I received is a disappointment. The actuation force requirements for the black keyboard is much higher than the white. Whereas the white keyboard I received was absolutely perfect for me and relieved by wrist pain, the black one is giving me wrist pain.I do not know if the black model is somehow designed to be different from the white in ways other than color, or if this is a sample variance. That two keyboards of the same model could be so different is unfortunate. I am docking a star for this reason. I may return the black model and trying my hand at another white model to see if it is the same as the first one I bought. It is harder to recommend this keyboard if copies can vary so much from one to another.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great keyboard, just what I was looking for
This is the keyboard I needed. I had to replace my old Dell Quietkey w/the PS2 connector a few years ago because I switched to a KVM w/USB. I had used it so much the typing position bumps on F and J were worn down smooth. That keyboard is kind of my standard I gauge everything against. The newer HP and Dell keyboards I used for the past couple of years were just too mushy and didn't last for me. I don't like the chiclet keyboards either. I thought about converting my old IBM model M to USB, but I think that clicking would drive me crazy.The Perixx Periboard-106 has the same shape as my old Dell Quietkey and simliar the Model M. It is considerably lighter than those, but is well made. It only has 1-position pop-out feet on it instead of 2-position like on the Dell. But they are the right position for me. They do not have rubber on the bottom, but the base of the keyboard has rubber feet. I use a piece of yoga mat underneath to keep the keyboard and mouse pad from slipping. The keys have good resistance, but not too much, with a clean and distinct press. It's quiet, but not silent. The keys have a nice texture on them as well, and so far the lettering is showing no signs of wear. The cupped keys are exactly what I wanted. Time will tell how durable it is, but I've been using it every day for a month now. I don't need fancy colored lights, but dimmable led lighting under the lettering would be a nice feature.Overall, very pleased with the keyboard, it's the right shape, had the right feel, and is well made.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice retro keyboard
My guy wanted the old school retro clacky keys and said this was perfect!Was able to connect to a modern tablet with USB adapter.
Comfortable to type on and nostalgic
This keyboard gives me more joy than it should. I used to play on IBM computers as a child, and this keyboard gives me all the nostalgic feels. Seeing it next to my very modern computer setup makes me giggle every time. Typing on it feels great, but it may take about a day or two to get used to if you've only used chiclet (laptop) keys before. It's a bit on the pricey side in my opinion, but that's Bolo for you. It feels like a high-quality product at least.
Hermoso
Llevo años buscando un teclado retro y por fin lo he encontrado, buenos materiales, buena sensación táctil, exactamente con en los 90s.
Good quality US format keyboard
For UK users, please be aware that the configuration for this keyboard is US not UK. Select US keyboard from the languages section in Windows setup. This will still leave you without a £ sign as this has become #. To get the £ sign back, have a look for free tool 'Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator', where you can modify the standard US layout to also have a key combination for £.
Great keyboard!
Very standard, full size keyboard, super easy to use and set up.The keys can sound a little loud when typing, but that's not too much of an issue.
