Perixx=GamingBy J. Phillips
Even if you're not a gamer I'd still highly recommend this keyboard. The plastic isn't cheap or light at all. The keyboard itself actually has a little weight to it. When it comes to what it has to offer modern PC gamers, its almost quite literally packed for this price range. The rubberized keyboard is perfect for players with sweaty palms and fingers like me... It, of course, also provides excellent grip so finger sliding isn't an issue here. The palm rest is great too. It keeps my wrists/palms supported and I've experienced less knotting over long play sessions. The keyboard (without the built in stands up) seems to sort of... dip down forward. So you really can get two angles to try out. Using the stands works best for me. If you like to listen to music while you play, Perixx has you covered. To the left of the light intensity dial are [Forward/Backward], [Play/Pause] and [Stop] buttons. So far these are working perfectly for iTunes and I'd assume they work well for most media players. No more tabbing out to pause or move forward to another song! The volume buttons on the right however are mapped to the overall system audio. I don't really mind that as it's still quite handy sometimes. The function buttons are conveniently spaced in rows of 4's so they're very easy to align with hotkeys in games. Speaking more on the layout of the keyboard, the [Caps Lock] is slightly indented too to help reduce mis-hits during typing. However, I'm a very sporadic, scatter-minded gamer so every time I type to people online they tell me to calm down... On to the minor dislikes.
As is to be expected, the rubberized coating will collect some dust given the proper amount of time spent unused. As is with any other keyboard, dust will gather on low traffic keys. This board seems to collect at a slightly faster rate. This mostly occurs on the outer edges of the board for me but it's nothing a quick monthly wipe down won't fix. Another thing to mention is the light. While I was pleased with the quality and colors I do wish the blue was a little brighter. You may not have the same experience. This might be because my monitor is ridiculously bright. Also, the light is dimmer closer to the right end of the board. Minor dislike and it isn't really causing me any problems as the whole keyboard is still very visible in the dark. It's not so bad that it'll throw you off if you're a little OCD. Unless of course you're VERY OCD. Finally, I wish the side lights were a little bright or perhaps a little more well accented. I really just want them to stand out more. To be honest I didn't know they were there till someone across from my desk mentioned it.
It was pretty hard to pick at these cons as I am VERY pleased with the overall quality of this board.
+4 Stars for quality, usability, and concept/design.
-1 Star for: Minor nitpicking...
+1 Star for being a High Quality Underdog brand.

German engineering. The BMW of KBs. And, NOT JUST for GAMINGBy Unlucky Frank
I'm not a gamer. I just needed an illuminated keyboard because I type and surf mostly at night and I'm tired of my desk lamp shining in my eyes and throwing shadows on my keyboard. Except for the tiny unlit MEDIA hot keys and LED COLOR SWITCH button, this is a well thought out design. (I'll rarely use the MEDIA keys. And I've already learned to use my right thumb nail for the perfectly placed COLOR SWITCH.)
This looks like an improvement over their previously released KBs. This is a heavy, solidly constructed KB. Large rubber feet at the corners to keep it from sliding around. A rubber coated border around the KB. Very solid adjustable forward-tilt feet underneath. Tactile no-slip rubber coated keys with good height and register. This ain't no laptop KB, kids. No key wobble here. My guess is that this KB is a DOME-SWITCH, which is a hybrid between a mechanical and a membrane. (My Dell dome-switch KB rocks! 8 years and still going. No sticking. No bad keys.) This is a full-size Standard Western KB. (NOTE: Amazon photos of the KB with the LED lights are for the European models.) The left side alpha pad measures 11" across. Perfect spacing on the keys. It's got the standard wide ENTER key. Indented CAPS LOCK. The SPACE BAR has a lovely spring to it. Individual letters and characters on the keys are white in the daylight but the LEDs illuminate them with color in the dark. There are 2 light bars that run along the side. There's 3 LED colors. Blue, red, and purple. I don't understand the complaints about the blue not being bright enough. (The DIAL you see in the photos is the LED dimmer.) If you can't see these keys with either the blue, red, or purple LED turned up, it's time to get a seeing-eye dog. Not too bright, but not too dim. It's perfect for me. And, I can't see jack. LOL. The purple works best IMHO. Yeah, the right number pad is a little less illuminated than the left side alpha pad. But, I refuse to knock this KB down a Star for a few small design flaws. Overall, this KB is a REAL BEAUTY. And, it's got more style and class than Justin Bieber. It looks awesome on my sliding desk tray.
The PX-1100 is USB plug and play. No software needed or included. No USB port or headphone jack. OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, & 8. The User Manual tells you next to nothing except for the hot key functions. DUH.
Approx. dimensions: 19 & 1/2" wide. 7" long. 2 & 3/4" adjustable plastic palm rest. (Removable.)
I can't speak for gaming with this KB, but I suspect normal PC users will like it. You can just feel the quality. I've only been using it for a day and I already LOVE IT. I only hope the LEDs last as long as I suspect this KB will. And, you can turn the LEDs off during the day. Good price for an illuminated non-mechanical KB. This is a great find. Never heard of these guys, but PERIXX is definitely a PLAY-AH!
Highly recommended.

Perfect for the nighttime gamerBy jla01
I really like this keyboard, it is fairly quiet to type on and the back lighting is present without being overly blinding. You can select the colors that you prefer and the intensity of the lighting. My biggest concern was that in the picture it shows a European keyboard instead of an american one, don't worry, you won't have umlauts and other weird characters on your keyboard. The only issue I have had with the keyboard was that the wrist rest was a bit too bulky, but it comes right off so if you don't want to use it it's a simple fix.
