perixx PERIDUO-712 Wireless Mini Keyboard and Mouse Combo - AES 128 Bit - Black - UK Layout

Finally found a compact, full-sized keys, keyboard which feels high quality (I've tried a good number of dreadfully designed keyboards!). No keypad, but that's fine I never use one. A single AA for each of keyboard and mouse, no on/off switch so just goes into sleep mode. Only time will tell how effective that is, but should be fine. My only gripe is that the feet are slippery so the keyboard slips about. A couple of extra rubber feet solved that problem.

Really like the keyboard, slim form factor just how I wanted. Keys are surprisingly soft and quiet to type. Only thing to complain is the mouse clicks are not quiet form factor like the keyboard.

The keyboard and mouse arrived well packed and secure. Only one dongle required. The plastic feels of a sturdy quality and has rubber stoppers on the base kf the keyboard to stop it slipping. The keyboards keys make this a perfect product to utilise for those that have minor dexterity issues. The stands at the base of the keyboard are fixed well to give a good comfortable typing height for your hands. The mouse, well built. Can be loud on clicking in comparison to other mouse ive used. The mouse has a function whereby it saves batter power when not utilised and a click is needed for the mouse to become active. Both keyboard and mouse are responsive in good time making it easier to get work completed. Overall good value for money for the combined product.

Normally I prefer wired peripherals (no battery) but I bit the bullet on this wireless keyboard/mouse combo. I'm glad I did because it is a quality piece of kit. The keyboard has full-travel keys and has a similar feel to the original OEM keyboard that came with my PC. It has a much smaller footprint (no numeric pad, which I don't use anyway) which frees up some desk space. The keys are slightly narrower and more closely spaced than the OEM keyboard and it's taken my fingers a few days to adjust to the new key positions. The mouse is a comfortable size/shape and moves/responds smoothly. Cursor speed, scrolling and left/right hand can all be adjusted in the PC's mouse settings. The wireless combo version means no trailing wires, especially on the mouse, and it also frees up a USB port. Keyboard and mouse each take one AA battery, with auto on/off to maximise battery life. They function well on rechargeable NiMH batteries (not supplied). I don't yet know what the battery life is but I have a fresh set charged and ready for use. I dislike change so buying something like this is always a gamble for me. However, I'm extremely pleased with this kit and have no regrets about going for it. Perrix appear to have good customer support and replacement dongles are available to buy on their website if required.

Some keys on my Dell laptop began to malfunction and further tests showed it was the keyboard at fault, which is hard to replace. I got this bluetooth keyboard, and it works brilliantly. I just place it over the top of the old keyboard, and problem solved. It's small enough such that the number pad on the Dell is still accessible. It doesn't really increase the time to set up the laptop. It doesn't make the laptop any more difficult to use. It fits easily in the laptop case. I've been using it a lot for two months now, and it's a great solution to the problem.

...your keyboard has seen it's life out. You buy a new one although I know of some who'll by a new computer... This compact but very usable keyboard has a pleasant and tactile feel to it. Some may miss the extra numeric keypad but few casual users need the ability to perform financial calculations. Otherwise there is not much to add. The mouse works well and does what is expected for a pointing device. At the price it is a winning combination and if it fails after 12months it is cheap enough to throw out and buy another. For those that query such matter this keyboard is working under Linux on a refurbished computer Acer All-in-one desktop. All in all the combination is a winner and worth the few beer tokens it costs to bring a smile to you face is worth the outlay. This combination worked out of the box with a new Win11 laptop. I've used Perixx keyboards for 16+ years and apart from wearing out the keys and also the switch membrane I have had no problems. Affordable, well engineered and reliable what more do you need?

We now have 2 of these, along with an older Periduo model as well (we have a lot of PCs in the house!). For the money I am yet to find a better all round wireless combo. First off they are good looking - the black with red trim looks sufficiently stylish to sit out in the living room near our home theatre PC. The keyboard itself is compact (again ideal for living room) while still being full size - without number pad obvs. The keys are soft and quiet which I like a lot. , The mouse is quite small and light and the buttons and wheel all have a good feel to them. I have never had an issue with the wireless responsiveness - just bear in mind the usual mouse surface limitations of a standard optical mouse (glass tables/mirrored tops etc). The usb receiver is in the PC in a cabinet and both devices work from the other side of the room. This model has power saving, so no need to switch on and off - hence, believe me, the batteries last a long while. Overall I would say this set is terrific value for money, and in buying a second I've put my money where my mouth is!
