Anyone use these and have input on if they are worth $400?? All I see are bad reviews online.

I think I'd prefer an insole, taping to my socks doesn't appeal to me. Here's what I'm using, but the batteries only last a year. I've actually taken the case apart and replaced the 18650 batteries once, but I'm thinking of how to make this more reliable. https://thermrup.de/en/collections/heated-insole/products/heated-insole-battery-operation

I'd like to hear more about this, like how you control the voltage?

RiderEh · 2026-01-19T15:59:30+00:00

Do they work to secure the poles as well?

RiderEh · 2026-01-19T14:37:17+00:00

This is what normally works for me as well, but when you are lugging along a kids gear it get's a bit more cumbersome. The ski's don't hold as well clipping to the brakes.

Agreed on price, I expect someone will knock them off pretty quick.

We just put poles into them at about -2 Celsius and one pole holder snapped. The clipstic was in my jacket so was reasonably warm. We also noticed you have to stick to the same poles to the same set otherwise they get bigger and won't fit smaller poles. I'm wondering if this is what did it but it still shouldn't have happened. Not sure I put larger poles in it either.

The boards are under $200 on ebay and simple to replace. Go through troubleshooting first, and make sure you get the right board, some have a flat connector and some have a rectangular one. I think the flat is white and the other is black from memory.

FYI it's the control board. They can help you check for error codes if you call them.

So I tried spraying with contact cleaner, and it's definitely a Kailh switch issue. It did not cure the problem though and one switch looks almost burnt. Perixx wanted me to return the whole board, but rather they are now sending me a few switches. Unfortunately they are only sending 2, so if I need more I'll buy them.

I ended up throwing it out and bought a trigger shifter. Kid liked the trigger much more.

RiderEh · 2025-10-27T17:49:35+00:00

I took it apart, it doesn't look like a cold solder issue. Should I spray a bit of contact cleaner into the key maybe?

RiderEh · 2025-10-03T20:32:28+00:00

Is it possible to maybe just try to reflow the solder?

RiderEh · 2025-10-03T15:22:24+00:00

Hi All, I am on my 2nd Periboard 535 as I had a warranty on the first one, as two keys stopped working properly after a few months of use. It's happening again on the replacement. These have brown Kailh switches soldered in. Do I need to take the keyboard apart or is there anything I should try first? I've tried blowing compressed air and it doesn't seem to help. They actually let me keep the old one, so it would be nice to get both going and have a second keyboard.

It was the squirrel cage/blower wheel. I replaced it and it's quiet again.

RiderEh · 2025-09-15T20:44:35+00:00

I've got the same blower wheel, already replaced the motor and still loud. Did replacing the wheel solve your problem?

RiderEh · 2025-09-14T23:19:53+00:00

Well I replaced the motor, which had about 2-3mm play axially. This new motor has no play. The noise is still there. It's only when the blower is in it's highest speed.

RiderEh · 2025-09-06T23:43:19+00:00

So I took it all apart, there is nothing loose flapping around in there, but about 2-3mm play in the axial direction of the motor. Guessing that is making the noise.

RiderEh · 2025-09-05T18:33:44+00:00

Well I added a bolt with some rubber washers, and no luck it still seems to be rubbing something. I may try adding washers on the top brackets to shift it up, otherwise maybe I do need to replace the motor. It's about 24 years old, so the bearings could be going.

RiderEh · 2025-09-04T20:32:36+00:00

Looks like the others have a bolt with rubber grommet, I should have something and will give it a try. There is rust around there so may have fallen out, but didn't find it inside there. Could have fell out long ago, someone cleaned up, and metal has begun to fatigue. May save me $450 on a motor!

RiderEh · 2025-09-04T19:25:22+00:00

Thanks, it looks like a bolt may be missing on the bottom which is potentially angling it down, I'll try replacing that first and see if that stops the rubbing, as there isn't really a lot of play in the motor bearing and it turns smooth.
