I have a Sony Tap computer that for some reason unknown my key board stop working ! I mad due for a week or 2 and then went and decided to just get a new key board. I went home put a battery in it and immediately began typing! The board is a little more compacted then the larger board I was use to, but I liked the added space I received at the desk area to place other items! The board has an indicator light to show that it was on above the on button that should say power because that would tell you how to turn it on & it doesn't! In fact I had to go find the box to figure how to turn the thing on after the 1st set up! to turn it on I was forced to open battery cover pull battery & then replace it to make it work again! this continued because I eventually discovered that the board was using a lot of power and draining the 2 small AAA batteries that it needed! Who wants to do that after going through $12.00 dollars in AAA batteries I said it was time to return this item! I liked the design it just wasn't practical for me!

I love the size of this Keyboard ! I' perfect!!! I don't need a lot of space for it on my table! :) Sometimes only it has lost the contact with main computer, so I need just remove the batteries and insert them back again, that is only one issue ! But it's no problem for me :)

This is my 2nd Arc Wireless Keyboard. I don't need it yet, but bought it so I'd have it when the current one dies & in case they stop making them. My desktop computer is a laptop & I don't like using its keyboard, especially since I also use an external monitor as my main screen. I like the small overall size with the still good-sized keys & the wireless connectivity. I think my current one is dying because it has started burning though batteries: 1 set every 2 weeks. I've had the current Arc for 6-7 years and it gets used a lot every day, so it has provided good service for a long time.
