  1. Anyone got an opinion on the cheap #Perixx keyboards?

    I got a Cherry Stream keyboard for a relative, but it's miserable to type on because the individual keys are all tapered, not squared off like classic "MacBook"-style keyboards.

    And I really don't care for/about the classic 2007 MacBook style keyboards (that became the default everystinkingwhere), I was just trying to get a keyb that was low profile, tenkeyless, tactile, and affordable.

    P.S. Forget about Perixx. I just realized it isn't tenkeyless, but rather 45% or whatever you call it. Miserable for office use. Still looking for recommendations. Might take the plunge on a keychron.

  2. @Luccus yeah, it's my daily driver for work stuff

    it needs more sensitivity though

    thinking of that: all my trackballs are somewhat flawed!

    - The red #Logitech TrackMan Wheel is slow.
    - The #perixx-one was nice while it lasted, but it's scrollwheel is broken in two ways now
    - the #ProtoArc is great, but doesn't work over usb-wire at all

    :-/

    I'm stilling here using a really old #Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite right now.

    I've had my eyes on a #Perixx 535 mechanical ergonomic keyboard for awhile now though. It has three different switch options though, and I don't know enough about mechanical keyboards to know which I'd want.

    #naturalkeyboard
    #splitkeyboard

  4. ergonomisch sind die #Trackball​s übrigens alle super - je neuer, desto besser liegt die Hand drauf, desto mehr merke ich aber auch dass ich längere Finger habe als Otto Normal

    Das #Logitech-Ding könnte mehr Genauigkeit vertragen - ist aber robust und gut

    Das #Perixx-Gerät war jetzt nach 2 Jahren schon kaputt (Scrollrad tut komische Dinge)

    Und das neue #ProtoArc-Ding ist grundsätzlich nett - aber kann nicht per Kabel verbunden werden, was es etwas zur Fehlinvestition macht

  5. Recently discovered a new #wired and thumb-operated #trackball. Left is my new #Perixx #Perimice-517 (conrad.ch/de/p/perixx-perimice), right is my old and heavily used Mod-it PX-4985-919 (mod-it.de/Laser-Trackball-Maus) which has been modded with the grey ball of the infamous Logitech MX Ergo. The Perimice has the same ball size (34mm), too.

    Not totally happy with the Perixx. The ball runs very smooth, but the Mod-it model has the better ergonomy. The Perixx lacks room for my ball of the thumb.
