Split Key Ergonomic
The 'Split Key' design is working as a comfortable posture corrector, encouraging a naturally straight posture rather than bending wrists to the side while typing.
It echoes ergonomists' finding, The healthy way to type at a keyboard is to have the hands as naturally straight as possible in a posture that we called the neutral posture. Even better for broader, larger frame individuals by allowing their arms in a better position, reaching around the front of the body.

This is not only an absolutely fantastic SPLIT style keyboard, but also one of the best in terms of key/tactile feel I've ever owned. I've tried all the usual mechanical keyboards, blue & brown switches (way overrated IMO) along with the legendary buckling spring switches. Yes, this is a rubber dome keyboard, BUT, it feels to me anyhow like a quiet and lighter touch buckling spring keyboard (think IBM Model M) without all the racket a buckling spring or cherry blue switch (or even brown) keyboard can make. It has a nice tactile snap to the keys and sounds similar to a Topre keyboard (youtube it) and has a nice muffled "thock" type sound, no clacky-ness at all. Even the larger stabilized keys are mostly quiet, and the one or two that aren't can be made quiet by adding a little white grease lube (search amzn for elite keyboards grease) to the metal stabilizer underneath the key after carefully removing it with a keycap puller or very carefully prying off.
This keyboard has a little shorter key travel distance than a full key height keyboard; about 80%, but is just enough shorter that it is actually a better travel distance IMO and allows for a very quick and light touch to the keys, but still gives that satisfying "press" you get on a full travel keyboard. As noted above, the key feel is light, but not too light and has a nice tactile snap (think buckling spring) that you will not get with the overrated mx brown style switch.
The split of the board is perfect and puts your hands, arms and shoulders in a very natural position for typing, and also has a full size wrist rest to place the palms of your hands when not actively typing.
One thing some folks may complain about is the arrow/home key cluster; do not let that deter you from trying this board. I actually prefer this layout as it allows your trackball (or mouse) to come in closer to your hands than if they used the standard ibm layout. Once you get used to the more condensed layout of the arrow keys and home/end/delete cluster, you'll realize it is very very logically laid out and actually makes more sense. So IMO I believe it's truly a better layout than the older IBM format. Your mileage may vary.
I've been using split keyboards since the original MS one came out in the late 90's and this Perixx split keyboard is very similar to the old MS elite version, but much better. The key feel and overall construction along with a split spacebar make THIS keyboard the best split keyboard you can buy, not to mention it's an incredible value also. I pair this board with a Logitech M570 trackball and it's a match made in heaven. My hands and wrists never experience pain and typing on this board is so comfortable and the muted/quiet, light snappy tactile feedback is incredible. I have never enjoyed a keyboard more than this one. It hits ALL the checkboxes. I'd happily pay 2-3 times what they charge for it also. And have for other boards that couldn't hold a candle to this one.
Note: I was NOT paid or compensated in any way to write this review, and I normally don't write reviews unless I really like something. I LOVE this keyboard :-) and you will too. If you are new to split keyboards, use this one solely for a week and you will not go back to a non-split board ever again, and when/if you have to use a "normal" keyboard you'll wonder how you ever did.
Ping me in the questions section, happy to share my experience or answer any questions you may have. Happy typing!
*update*
Upon filing an RMA claim with Perixx on their main website, they ended up shipping me a replacement free of charge. Thank you Perixx, much appreciated!
I buy a lot of stuff on Amazon, and normally do not submit many reviews, but this product deserves five stars. I was not prompted by the seller to give a review.

Plugged it in, found the right space bar doesn't trigger reliably, but also gets stuck when pressed with a natural finger placement (attached video demonstrates this).
Key travel on this is really bad, these keys force you to press really hard and deep and it's not satisfying to type on. Returning this and finding something higher quality.
In my opinion, most folks would find this keyboard to feel cheap and clumsy compared to any keyboard (not specifically an ergonomic one).



Pros
- Pretty easy to get used to if you have used the MS 4000
- Smooth keys with a mechanical feel.
Cons
- It's smaller than the 4000.
- Size of the keys is small in general compared to normal keyboards, not to mention the 4000
- The arrow keys are weirdly placed, breaking the most used convention, and making it harder for us to use. This is the worst feature of this keyboard. They keys are too small even for a baby.
- The Ctr, Win and Alt keys are placed too near each other on the left, and the space bar is nearby. You are end up pressing space a lot of times when you mean to press Alt
- You cannot rest your hands on the wrist rest because that makes it difficult to type.
Did I write more cons than pros? Yes. But it still remains a good choice for a real ergonomic QWERTY keyboard.
