 * Perixx
 * Periboard 716 Wireless Ultra-Slim Keyboard with Touchpad (Debian 07-Jun-2012 on Production Model B)
 * (Raspbian Wheezy, 2012-12-16, Prod. Model B, Rev 2) Has the "sticky key" issue as reported by other users with other keyboards. Seems to be somewhat related to power when directly connected to the Pi. Using a 2A PS makes it MUCH better, but not completely fixed. When/if it happens again, unplugging and reinserting the USB dongle brings it back to normal.  Did not try with powered USB hub.
 * PERIBOARD-502 wired keyboard inc built in touchpad (model B/Raspbian Wheezy)
 * Periduo-707 Plus (Wireless Keyboard and Mouse) works fine most of the time. Does suffer from dropouts and glitches though. Usual "drawing too much power from USB" problems show up as well - dropped key presses or constant autorepeats. These can be cured by pulling out and reinserting the dongle in the USB socket. The keyboard sometimes hangs after power on when used with my laptop - it seems to need 30 seconds of non-use before it works fine. Again, remove and insert the dongle cures it. Works fine vi my Benq monitor's USB Hub.
