Ergonomic USB keyboard Perixx PERIBOARD-512 US black — split layout, wrist rest

Perixx PERIBOARD-512 US black is an ergonomic USB keyboard designed to support a natural hand and wrist position during typing. The split layout separates the key clusters to reduce ulnar deviation, and the integrated wrist rest provides stable support for the palms. The wired USB connection delivers straightforward plug-and-play operation with most desktop and laptop systems, making this keyboard suitable for extended daily use.

Advantages

The split layout and slightly angled key wells promote a more neutral forearm alignment, which can help reduce muscle strain during long typing sessions. The built-in wrist rest offers continuous palm support to minimize pressure on the wrists. Durable keycaps and a solid frame provide reliable performance in office or home environments. The USB wired connection ensures low-latency input and wide compatibility without the need for batteries.

How to use
