Perixx Periboard-706 Wireless Trackball Mini Keyboard, Build-in 0.55 Inch Trackball for Pointing Feature, Black, US English Layout

I ditched cable TV 3 years ago and set up a HTPC next to my couch. This transferred many of the functions of my remote controls to that of a mouse and keyboard. The big problem was finding the right keyboard to use while lounging and being able to watch media and surf at the same time. I used a USB mini keyboard for a while, but after upgrading to Win7 I had to get serious about finding a wireless interface for the system. After a lot of searching, I stumbled on the Periboard 706PLUS. This looked like a great solution and I was not disappointed.This keyboard is easy to handle when I am reclining or have a cat sitting on my lap. The keys are large and easy to read. This is important because I am often trying to type with one hand.I use a mouse on the side table so the track ball isn't important to me, but it works nicely it you prefer that. The RF link is flawless even from across the room. The keyboard is light yet stiff and is a good value. The USB transceiver is very small and can be stored inside the battery compartment when not in use. The unit is powered by 2 "AAA" cells.Altogether the product is an excellent reflection of German design principles - basic lines, practical with excellent performance yet, unlike traditional products, it is very affordable. Perixx products may be a little hard to find, but I am happy I looked long enough to find what I wanted and I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

I actually got this to use on my windows PC and due to the explicit OS listing I didn't expect it to work on my Linux Mint 21. Tried it for a test and found it seems to work completely. trackball is smooth, keys feel full sized. It is pretty compact as a keyboard, but typing is very comfortable when typing with clean keys. I really like the solid but not harsh bottom of the key press. Easy to type quickly with no doubling or lost characters. Windows key pops up the Mint Menu just like on windows. Audio volume function keys work normally. I would definitely buy it again.

Had been looking for mini wireless keyboard for some time. Read all the reviews of all the latest and greatest out there. I was not going to spend over 50.00 so that cut down my options a bit. I had decided on one with a track ball. After reading the only two reviews at Amazon about the Periboard 706 Plus and being in my price range I decided to give it a try. I took the free shipping option and it arrived in only two days! Super easy setup. It was much larger than a mini but I knew that before I purchased it. The keyboard is fantastic although I do not not use it a great deal. I actually got it for the track ball. I have to say that the track ball layout is somewhat restrictive and takes some getting used to. After a week or so it became natural to me. The track ball is very responsive and accurate. The looks are great. The range is good. All in all a Good Deal. If you are looking for a one handed remote, this is not an option. If you are looking for a small wireless keyboard with a trackball, with free shipping the Periboard 706Plus is a bargain. Perixx PERIBOARD-706PLUS, Wireless Mini Trackball Keyboard - 2.4G - 33 Feet Receiving Distance - Nano Receiver - 0.55" Optical Trackball - On/Off Power Switch - 2xAAA Brand Batteries - Fit with HTPC, Media Center Application

Works good, better than expected actually. Bought this item because I needed a usb keyboard and mouse so I could get into my bios / ueif menu, because Bluetooth doesn't load until windows does.I like that it is a keyboard and mouse together off of one usb port, and as a bonus it also has 2 more usb ports on the keyboard which do work, i have used them with thumb drives because i didn't want to reach down to my tower to plug it in.I haven't had issues with the ball mouse yet BUT I also make sure to keep hair and gunk off of my finger while using the mouse ball.Only thing I would have liked to see different would be some kind of cap that could be removed to take out the ball to clean the ball and the roller points inside, just guessing on that because I do not believe there is a way to take out the ball without taking apart the keyboard.It could be that the ball pops out to clean insides the mouse area, but I did not want to force it and break the keyboard, the ball is in there good. I do know that shaking the keyboard upside down does not make the ball come out. In my opinion that is a good thing because I have dropped the keyboard and the ball stayed in place, I would hate to lose it being the size of a marble.

Like another previous reviewer, I am a court reporter, so I do a LOT of typing, heavy, near daily use. LOVE the keyboard touch, key size, responsiveness. I bought this to overlay the keyboard on my 2015 HP Envy laptop, which i LOATHE beyond words. The keys are unwieldy and hard to press. I just put this over the top, and type away!!!! So that's for the good....now the bad. I have only had the dang thing for 5 months, and there's some short in the wire. I get this ba-DUNK randomly when I'm typing, and it quits working, which means there's a disconnect at the USB port, which works fine for other add-ons. Oh, well, beautiful typing for 5 months. I'm off to find a good wireless........

I have two of these now. It's perfect size to carry around and to keep the mouse close by. Spilled coffee (black) on one but it kept working after letting it dry out for a few hours.

This keyboard is impossible to use. The location of the mouse buttons in respect to the trackball are ridiculous

ポインタの動きが非常に悪い。ガラステーブルの上で光学マウスを使っている気分。

I got this keyboard because I wanted a small integrated keyboard & pointing device for use with some servers that don't normally have a keyboard attached. This keyboard is great for that - very light to move around, no batteries (USB), an integrated trackball. The trackball is a little bit oversensitive when used in environments like a computer BIOS where you can't adjust sensitivity, but in general it works great.The keys have a very short travel but are comfortable in use. The keyboard is probably a bit too small for regular use, but it's perfect for what I wanted.

La tastiera è ben costruita e funziona ottimamente. Per un uso professionale può far piacere sapere che il trackball è posizionato nell'angolo in alto a destra e si tratta di una sfera abbastanza piccola (inferiore alle dimensioni di una pallina dei vecchi mouse), con una velocità di rotazione elevata (cioè fa poco attrito). Questo consente spostamenti velocissimi del cursore.
