Perixx PERIBOARD-732B Wireless Backlit Mini Keyboard - X Type Scissor Keys - White Backlit - US English,Black,11950

For both general usage, portability and price, this is the best wireless backlit keyboard available, that is anywhere that I've looked, including Logitech and all the other popular keyboard manufacturers, but because it holds a charge for days AND it functions with no lag just as well as any a wired keyboard I've used--this is because of its included 2.4ghz usb dongle--and it fully functions both wirelessly and while connected to its USB connected charger. My description so far is enough, I believe, for anyone wanting these features to consider this keyboard, but there are more pros ahead and only one slight con. Most current Perixx keyboards use scissor keys (the type used in nearly all laptop computers--the type I prefer), but I believe Perixx now also sells the same 732B-style keyboard with mechanical keys too, and the keyboard has no noticeable lag within several feet of its receiver, but at greater distances (i.e., for use on a couch over 10 feet away) it's still very low-lag and still excellent! Here’s the one possible slight “con” when using this keyboard on your lap: you might want a wrist-rest. When using a any wireless keyboard on your lap an wrist-rest attached to the keyboard raises the keyboard’s keys up a few inches above your lap so your hands have extra space to reach for the keys. This is helpful if you’re a fast typist, but for on-your-lap usage most people aren’t using a keyboard to type much at all and so this keyboard is still fairly easy to use on your lap without a wrist-rest. Here’s what I made (see photo) for less than $1 to add a wrist-rest to the 732B--because sometimes I'll type for hours with this keyboard on my lap. I duck-taped a small rectangle of fiberboard to the back of the keyboard and attached a couple of plastic glass retaining clips to it—if you use strong duct-tape to attach the board to the back of the keyboard it will hold for years and also still be fairly easy to remove if so desired. I type a LOT and so I was a decades-long consumer of Logitech keyboards because of their quality & design, but for every reason I know of Perixx tops them and so Perixx has stolen me as a customer. For example, this Perixx 732B is smaller, much lighter, uses the same type of scissor-keys as Logitech and so is basically as just as durable, has the same adjustable backlighting and more, and that’s at 1/3rd the price. I almost forgot: the key caps on the 732B are sculpted too (very comfortable & improves accuracy) ...I've never actually loved a keyboard before, but this one comes close! I’m buying a second one.

This is the fourth keyboard for my PC. Others took up too much desk space, squeezing my mouse movements into a small space, or they frustrated me by not having forward Delete keys, or dedicated arrow keys, or it couldn’t be used without being plugged in (I like to chat with others during movies as I lean back taking my keyboard away from my desk), or it had very poor lighting of the characters so even when ‘lit up’ I still couldn’t see where anything was. I had to hit a number key to see what it was while keeping my other hand on the Backspace button. Despite colorful backlighting underneath the keys, the keys themselves did not have enough light. SO … FINALLY! I’m so happy to get exactly what I’ve been searching for: Small size leaving lots of mouse movement room, number keys separate from F keys, Del and Backspace both, Arrow keys in their own little spot, and large characters that really light up so you can see them in total dark - without being blinded by light from under the keys. Watch the video, where I bring in my other colorful ‘lit’ keyboard, which is even harder to use in real life without the camera’s help. This Perixx Periboard 732 (or 732B, I’m not sure) is perfect for me! The keys are quiet and have a definite tactile click-feel but without the loud clacky clacky sound. It sits up a little in the back, for better look and usefulness. As for lights timing out: (1) Unplugged, not using it, they went out after 36 seconds. (2) Unplugged, using it every 5 or 10 seconds, the light stayed on past two minutes when I figured it would stay lit as long as I was using it. (3) Plugged into the recharge cable, not using it, they went out after 36 seconds, same as when unplugged. Probably a good feature, to turn it off if you haven’t needed it for that long. Even after the light goes out, the characters are so large and so white I can see them even in very little light. I figure plugged in and using it every 30 seconds or so they would stay on forever. … I’m loving the size and extra keys and lights where they should be. It arrived in only 2 days, and that was during holiday rush (ordered Dec. 22, arrived Dec. 24) So far there is no downside to this unit. Maybe some people prefer patterned rainbow colors coming out from under the keys, but though it’s pretty, it didn’t work in low light. Believe me, it’s what you’re looking for.

I bought this keyboard as a temporary fix for my laptop with bugged keys. My laptop is an ASUS TUF GAMING F15 laptop and this keyboard is about the size of the keyboard minus the keypad on said laptop (which is what I was looking for). It does have a backlight with three brightness modes. I do like the key feel and the keys clack whenever I type. They're not too loud but also not so quiet. Since the keys are easy to read, I don't have to go fishing for a letter like my prior keyboards. I do like how instant the connectivity is and the charging port is nice and snug for the charging cable. As for the battery life, I just got it yesterday and charged it fully so I haven't determined how long it lasts yet but right now it seems to be going a long time. It's all of pretty good quality and I do enjoy using this. Update: Since the day I received this keyboard to now, I haven't had to charge it. I frequently game too so the keyboard has been used quite a bit and still no charge since. Long lasting!

I wanted a rechargeable unit with backlit keys and this looked like a good choice. After a couple days of use, I like the key action. It is nicely compact for desktop or travel, as well as for smaller hands. For windows users, the "Win" key is actually labeled "Start". It has both caps lock and function key lock including small lights to show when they are enabled. The key lighting is just the right brightness in my opinion. Subtle with no glare. The labels on the keys are large, and it is easy to read the symbols over the numbers. So far so good. It has "CE" and "FC" cert marks on the bottom so the electronics and batteries should be safe.

I cannot find a place that sells the battery. The unit looks good. It has nice weight and feel. But it has no battery and I can't find a source for the battery. It doesn't say the size of battery. It is a mystery as to what to buy. The battery slot is very small and will not acamodate a regular battery. It says to buy a rechargeable lithium ion battery.

I absolutely LOVE this keyboard. It's compact (a great fit for my tiny space), ergonomic, responsive, and has EXCELLENT range on the connectivity. I often use it from my loft, set about 4+ feet above where my laptop and the receiver USB are placed - and while other Bluetooth or receiver-connected laptops freeze or glitch at that range, this one functions even from the back of my loft, above 10' back from the system. The backlight was an important feature to have, and I like the way it kinda programs on via keystroke when you activate it, and goes into a sorta sleep mode after about an hour of disuse. Reactivating it is simple, especially with the great response time this keyboard offers. Additionally, the tech support at Perixx are kind and motivated to help consumers enjoy their Perixx products. I tried to buy this keyboard used, but it lacked a receiver and pairing instructions. The support team sent me a new receiver free of charge, and was ready to offer next steps advice when that failed to activate my product. Always had a helpful, legible response within 24-48hrs. I am a Perixx fan for life now! Such a great value for the cost.

I was initially going to reduce my rating because of how long it takes to recharge this keyboard (the wireless backlit version). Because while it has a battery with a capacity of 800mAh and can last for about 7 days on one charge, it takes about SIX HOURS to recharge it, at a rate of 5V --- 500mA. Which is the same as 5V --- 0.5A. And both of which would be 2.5 watts. However, even though it's not that easy to find, all of that information IS available for potential customers to see BEFORE they order this keyboard. So since I was able to know that it takes six hours to charge before I ordered it, I would be wrong to reduce my rating because I didn't like that it takes six hours to charge, right? Anyway, I've been using a Logitech MX Keys Mini wireless backlit keyboard for over three years now, and it still works pretty good but I have broken a couple of the keys. So I wanted to try something different this time that didn't cost a hundred dollars. And I have to say, I am definitely impressed with the Perixx PERIBOARD-732B wireless backlit mini keyboard. Except for one MAJOR downside... And again, I didn't reduce my rating for it because I was able to know about it before I ordered this keyboard. But anyway, I can only really use it on my PC or whatever the USB dongle is plugged into... With the MX Keys Mini though, since it has Bluetooth capabilities, I can use it on my PC and quickly switch to and use it on my cell phone when I need to. So if that's something that is important to you, then I wouldn't recommend this wireless backlit mini keyboard by Perixx. However, if you just want something to use with your computer that's wireless and backlit, that doesn't cost a hundred dollars, then you'd be hard pressed to find anything better than this keyboard. Oh, and one more thing. To the makers of the PERIBOARD-732B, please make a wireless backlit mini keyboard like this one that not only has a USB adapter for hooking it up to a PC, but that also has Bluetooth capability and can easily connect to three different devices on the fly. And this is because, after about a year of using the MX Keys mini, the Bluetooth on my PC stopped working, yet I was able to get a USB adapter separately and still use it on my computer while being able to easily use it on my cell phone. Of course, I would expect it to cost a little more than this one, but I would gladly pay more. Especially if it still costed less than Logitech's hundred dollar wireless backlit mini keyboard.

*************REVIEW UPDATE, JULY 2026*********** About a year after buying this keyboard and using it daily (no pets, only at home), the ENTER key has failed. I've tried cleaning it... but it no longer works, forcing me to return to Amazon to buy a new keyboard. I despise products failing in a short time from simple daily use. It's just wasteful. And there doesn't seem to be a way to fix the machine so now I have to throw out the whole thing JUST because one important key has stopped working. Keyboards used to last a decade+. But now... **************ORIGINAL REVIEW********************* I use a mechanical keyboard for work. It gives unmatched response, feel. I know exactly when the keys "register" and type much faster on it than on the newer, squishy membrane keyboards. But my mechanical keyboard is wired, cluttering my desk. So I experimented with two dozen Bluetooth and IR (dongle) keyboards. I learned I Hate. BT. Keyboards. Absolutely HATE them. They shut down whenever I take a break to do something else quick, then I have to wait until they feel ready to work to continue to do my work. Add to that just about every EM signal in modern spaces can interrupt BT and disconnect my keyboard. Then there are the travails of trying to get BT keyboards to re-connect... Uh, a keyboard is supposed to help me work. NOT to be a diva I have to pamper. No thanks. Among the dongled keyboards, they're all FAR more stable than BT keyboards (no sleep/wake issues or problems getting disconnected). But many have these new-style membrane keys. Or their plastic key mechanisms feel strange. Ugh. Enter Perixx. The best of both worlds. Stability of a wired keyboard (so far) AND the convenience of a clean desktop without ugly wires trapping other items on the desktop. And the key feel is quite good. No, not nearly as sharp as a true mechanical keyboard, but good enough for me to get hours of work done on it. I also appreciate the characters are all written in big, bold letters/numbers/symbols. Time will tell if the characters wear off quickly--but for now, they're very clear. I don't know why in the 21st century as more and more of us are required to work late so many keyboard manufacturers DON'T include backlighting. But Perixx has easy on/off backlighting. I dislike that my mechanical keyboard uses TEN backlighting profiles. To turn BL off I have to cycle through all 10--waste of time. Perixx uses just a simple white BL--on/off via FN + F10. You can also control the screen brightness via FN + F1/F2 (at least as I've tested on Linux so far). The other option I was looking at was the Logitech MX Mini Keys keyboard at more than 3 time what I paid for Perixx. Maybe the Logitech would have felt heavier, denser, more solid. But I'm happy I saved the money and got the Perixx. As much as I enjoy typing on my mechanical keyboard, I hate the ugly cords on my desktop so may buy another Perixx... If anything changes, I'll update my review. For now, I'm happy with Perixx.

従来の2.4Ghzワイヤレスより、さらに小型です。 専用ドングルである点は同じで、バックライトつきです。 バックライトの明るさ調整可との記載がありますが、おそらくON/OFFしかできないです。 他のよくある小型ワイヤレスにあるようなペラペラ感はなく、しっかりとしており、充電池内蔵でそこそこ重量もあります。 キー深度は浅いですが、MackBook Air(M1)よりは深く感じます。また、タッチはちょっと重め。 打鍵音はそれなりにします。個人差あると思いますが、底打ち音の低音と戻り時の高音があります。 キー表面は艶消しで、手脂の跡はよくわかります。 なにより嬉しいのは、文字がデカくて太いこと。あんまり見ることはないのですが、右上のブラインドタッチが怪しい場所の記号が見やすくて助かります。 持ち出し専用にと思って入手したのですが、最近、HHK Pro2 でさえキーが重いと感じるようになったので、もうこっちメインでもいいかな、と思いつつ、もう少し使い込んでみます。 私にとって大した理由ではありませんが、以下の理由により星4つとしています。 ・Bluethooth接続ではない ・バックライトは明度調整できない (2022/2/18: 追記) 書き忘れたので追記です。 本体側の充電用USB端子は、今時っぽく Type-C です。 電源ON/OFFのスイッチは裏面ではなく、右上側面にあるのは据え置きで使用する場合に良いですね。 スイッチは小さいので操作はしづらいですが、頻繁にON/OFFするものではないので許容できます。 (2023-02-11: 追記) こればっかり使ってて、約１年経過したので追記します。（満足度が高いので星は５つにしました） もうすっかりこれがメインのキーボードとなってしまいました。在宅中はもちろん、たまの出社時にも持参して一日 10 時間程度使いまくっています。 充電も週一回も行えば十分で、道具としては満足のいくものとなっています。ちなみにバックライトを使うことはありません。 パンダグラフの宿命なのか、2022-09 頃に右 Alt キートップが外れる事態に遭遇しました。キー裏爪の一本が折れてしまったようです。 Windows で AX キーの設定としているため、右 Alt で日本語/英数の切り替えとなっており、使用頻度が高いためなのか、右手親指の力が強すぎるのかわかりませんが、保証で対応してもらえるか連絡をしてみました。 Web サイトから最初の連絡を行い、翌営業日以降はメールでの対応です。（サポートを受けるにはシリアルNoが必要です） やり取りの中で、不具合箇所の拡大写真を送り、キートップだけ交換できるか提案をしてみたところ、交換可能と連絡をいただき、早速送付してもらえることになりました。 だたしこれがドイツ本国からの郵送で、到着まで 10 日程度かかったと思いますが、対応としては満足です。 今後故障して使用不能になっても、たぶん同じものを買うでしょう。（在宅率が高いので、有線でもいいかもしれない） (2024-08-31: ラスト追記) 半年くらい前に PC 本体変更後、PC の CPU 負荷が高い状況でキー打ち出し時に反応しない症状が出ることがあったため、使用を止めました。おそらくキーボード本体の問題ではなく、PC 本体と無線ドングルの相性が悪いためではないか、と思われ、対処しようもなく諦めました。それ以外は不満がなく残念だったのですが、キー打鍵抜けはストレスも高く、どうにもなりません。 同型の有線タイプ (PERIBOARD-432) なども物色してみたのですが、以前より価格が上がっており、どうも物欲が沸かない。以前使用していた HHK Pro2 を静音化して復活運用してみましたが、これもやはりキーの高さやストロークの深さがどうにも疲れてしまい、結局、現在これと同価格の PERIBOARD-416 を Order することにしました。 ということで、PERIBOARD-732 のレビュー追記はこれで終了です。続きは PERIBOARD-416 のレビューにご期待ください。

Very good quality

Klawiatura na której pisze się nadspodziewanie dobrze, teraz odzwyczaiłem się pisać na klawiaturze laptopa. Działa długo na ładowaniu, niestety nie działa „po kablu”.

Touches agreables a utiliser, parfait pour moi. J'ai juste eu du mal a comprendre l'installation : le fait que "l'espace pile" a l'arriere soit vide (en fait il y a une pile integree qu'on ne voit pas, j'ai cru qu'il fallait en rajouter et ai eu du mal a trouver de l'info la-dessus) ; le fait que le cable USB soit pour charger sur prise uniquement (branche direct sur le PC il ne se passait rien) ; le petit module USB qu'on doit brancher sur le PC pour le sans fil (je n'avais jamais vu ca et me demandait a quoi ca servait)... Mais ca y est, j'ai trouve une video sur YouTube en anglais qui montrait tout ca et du coup mon clavier est en marche, il est super.

This is a USB keyboard. Great quality but misleading in the word 'wireless' makes it look like Bluetooth.
