AUSDOM Large Print Backlit Keyboard Review — The Whisper-Quiet Pick

Quick Specs

Source: Manufacturer published specifications

The AUSDOM Large Print Backlit Keyboard is the one I’d recommend to anyone who does a lot of typing — emails, documents, journaling — and doesn’t want the click-clack soundtrack that comes with most keyboards. It’s the quietest large-print accessibility board in this price range, and it’s not even close.

The secret is the damped membrane switches. AUSDOM put a thin silicone layer under each key that softens the bottom-out impact, which is where most keyboard noise comes from. The result is a typing experience that’s somewhere between “soft” and “muffled” — perfect for shared spaces, late-night use, or anyone using hearing aids that amplify ambient clatter.

Legend-wise, the AUSDOM uses oversized white letters on matte-black keycaps — slightly larger than the Perixx PERIBOARD-317, maybe 5% bigger, which adds a real legibility advantage for users with significant vision loss. The single-color white LED backlight has adjustable brightness via a function combo. It’s not as polished as the Perixx’s backlight system — the light bleeds a bit around the edges of some keys, especially the spacebar — but for the price, it’s a fair compromise.

The build is solid for a sub-$20 board. Not premium, but the keys don’t wobble, the legends are printed deep into the cap, and the included USB cable is a generous 5+ feet (more than the Perixx). F and J have prominent tactile bumps. There’s no bump on the numpad 5, which is a small downgrade for data-entry users.

Verdict

If noise is a concern — shared office, living-room setup, hearing-aid user, light sleeper next room — the AUSDOM is the move. The quiet typing experience alone makes it worth a few extra dollars over the Perixx for the right buyer. For everyone else, the Perixx is still the safer all-around pick because of its cleaner backlight.
