Perixx PERIDUO-212 Wired Mini Keyboard and Mouse Combo with 12 Multimedia Keys, Black, UK Layout

The keyboard has proper raised keys ideal for typing that are pleasant to use. A normal keyboard is essential for any long periods of typing. I prefer these to the flat keys on a laptop. The touch of the keys is quiet and accurate but due to the shorter length of the keyboard the keys are very slightly closer together. The keyboard takes up less space and is slightly narrower than a laptop. It is ideal if you have limited desk or table space. It does not take long to get used to the key touch and your typing speed can increase appreciably! As wired versions, mouse and keyboard cables are of decent length and plug directly into a laptop or PC. Keyboard and mouse can be put away when not wanted in the box it came in, and the mouse is excellent, easy and pleasing to use. Both items are simple. Just plug in and play with no need to set up beforehand.

Really nice combo, compact - you don’t need the number pad? Who uses that apart from accountants anyway! Looks cool, you don’t need batteries- get one!

Very nice quiet keyboard. My only issue is that I use right shift a lot, and the up arrow is right where the question mark is. Very annoying. Bought another keyboard from the same brand, but with a better layout

I've been using this combo now for a few months with a Raspberry PI. I love the fact that is compact enough to just tuck away when not actively in use, and when it is, the keyboard is lovely to use, very comfortable. The wired combo is better I believe because I hate the waste of batteries, and they never seem to last long enough to be worth it. I'm considering replacing my fullsize keyboard with another one of these. Buy it!

Very good product

Keyboard: The body of the keyboard feels cheap, but the keys themselves (for the most part) have a good feel (except Shift, which can be a little stiff at the edges) and are quiet. There are some problems, however. It is missing a lot of useful keys (home, end, page up, page down, print sc, menu, and scroll lock); I wouldn't mind it being an inch or so wider just to have those keys, or even have some of the hotkeys for those functions. I also have a gripe with the direction keys: left, right, and down are situated (rather annoyingly) between the AltGr and right Ctrl keys, and the up key is between the forward slash and Shift (rightfully above the down key); this means that they sometimes get in the way of Shift presses, and I often press Ctrl instead of the right directional key. Again, if there were an extra column of keys, the directional keys would be able to sit in their rightful place (i.e. to the right of Ctrl). Apart from those two gripes, it's a nice keyboard. I selected this one mainly because others didn't have a backslash/pipe key (very important for Unix-like OSes) and/or moved the hash/tilde key; to have those keys mostly makes up for the missing keys. Mouse: It's very light. It's not the lightest mouse I've ever used; however, it comes close. That's not to say it's a bad thing; however, I personally prefer a bit more weight to them. The top of the mouse is covered in rubberized plastic, which gives it a nice feel and a bit of extra grip. The responsiveness is very good, and the buttons have a nice click to them. I have mixed feelings about the scroll wheel, however; the grip on the wheel is excellent, but it has just a touch too much resistance for my liking; also, the scroll click is far too stiff. Conclusion: It's a nice little combo, but it has its problems. It's not ideal for everyday use, but as a small KB and mouse to take around with a Raspberry Pi (my intended use), it's more than acceptable. I would give it three and a half stars if I could, but I can't, so I'm rounding down instead of up because it's not quite worthy of four stars.

Cheap and easy to use. The dpi on the mouse is a little higher than other mouse's but once you get use to it its fantastic. the mouse is comfortable and doesn't make your hand get cramp, I have XXL size hands and it works amazing for me. The keyboard is quiet and small the keys are easy to hit, there's no delay. This is a non mechanical keyboard so will be perfect for office work.

This is a great set for the Raspberry Pi. I bought it to finish a project in work and As well as the nice compact size of the keyboard, the mouse is perfect. Both units have a red accent that really sets them off well. The keyboard action is responsive and the proper sized keys (not chiclet style) are a big positive for me. If there was a version with a USB hub inside with two sockets, that would be a major bonus. Thank goodness there's no messing around with batteries or chargers and BT... old school wired! Superb!
