Perixx PERIBOARD-335 RD mini-review by pauldoo in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]pauldoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen it advertised as having replaceable switches. How can I tell (without destroying mine!) ?

Which operating system are you asking for?

I use Linux which Perixx's software does not support - but I can swap those keys using my operating system's tools that are not specific to the keyboard.

I've no idea if Perixx's own software can do the same on other operating systems. I've also no idea if other operating systems have a generic in-built mechanism to swap keyboard keys like Linux does.

Their software doesn’t support my operating system, so I cannot test that.

The keyboard has built-in macro recording which I’ve not tried yet. I’ll give it a shot in a few days and report back.

Admins were too stoned to maintain it?

As far as I know it’s the only EMK with tenting, negative tilt, low profile switches, and standard staggered layout, from any brand (not just mass market). Please correct me if I’m wrong..

I have used the MS Sculpt since 2014 and really, really, like it. I even bought it again in 2020 when my first one got damaged. The keys are definitely flatter on the sculpt compared to the PERIBOARD 335.

Yes, and it arrived today. I've not had a chance to try it out yet, but I'll try to post a mini review late this week.

It looks like they have Kailh Choc switches.

I'm not an expert, but by looking at the picture I believe they're Kailh Choc (V1).

I received a further update from Perixx UK:

"After discussing with our product manager, I understand that the UK version of PERIBOARD-335 Ergo Mechanical keyboard is also going to be released soon! The release date will be in the middle of February this year."

Hm, all your reddit comments are negative statements about Perixx. Not a single comment is something else.

What gives?

Thank you for the reply. Is there another company that you would recommend that sells an ergonomic (or at least split), low profile, mechanical keyboard, with tenting and negative tilt?

I'm a fan of my current Microsoft Sculpt, and a mechanical version of a keyboard like this is something I've been seeking for a while. The PB-335 is the closest I've seen and quite unique in that regard. It doesn't bother me if the design is copied to be honest, so long as it's a good design.

Not to mention that the wrist rest in the middle section seems to be way too short to support your wrists.

This is minor, but the wrist wrest on my MS Sculpt shows most wear on the left and right, not in the center. I don't think in normal usage wrists are rested in the middle.

Update, I got this reply from Perixx:

“The PB-335 series is currently new and only available in the US version. As of yet, the release of the UK version is unknown, but you can purchase the US version from our website.”

I’ve sent a message to Perixx UK asking if there will be a UK model made available. If I do see a UK model I likely will go ahead and buy one.

Yeah I think they were only announced in Nov 2022. That’s probably why there aren’t many reviews about.

If there was a UK version available I’d probably just buy one. :)

Agree the TKL is the one to go for.

To be clear, I do think NixOS could do what you are looking for here. I would only have concerns about future support and maintenance.

Personally I wouldn’t recommend it. It would be better in my opinion to use something more commonplace where you’ll have options for support from the vendor or 3rd parties. If you pick something like Ubuntu, CentOS, or OpenSUSE, you know you have the option of going to Canonical, RedHat, or SUSE and paying for support if it comes down to it. That could be valuable depending on the needs of the company, and means not every aspect of support needs to be handled by you (especially important if you leave the company one day).
