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.

I like the keyboard, very easy to use and quiet and I love the fact the Function Button is on the bottom right. Wish it had a back light and had a USB charger instead of batteries. The keys stick on the far left so the design should be updated to 'smoot'h' the keys so they don't get stuck in the space. Logitech is better product but too much money so this one was a good cost.

Very unique design ,light weight . easy to operate but function keys operate differently .

I got this keyboard to use at work as I wanted a keyboard without a number pad (smaller footprint). Feels pretty good, and the bluetooth is reliable. I wish the top portion of the keyboard was raised though. It lays totally flat and it's tough to type without some elevation.

I purchased the Microsoft Arc Keyboard today (2/21/2010) at Best Buy. My purpose was simple, I just wanted a keyboard without number pad or extra keys on the right side of the keyboard. I want the keyboard to be centered on the display, and not have to reach too far to the right to use the mouse. My Microsoft Wireless Multimedia keyboard forces me to have the keyboard to the left of center about 5-6 inches which causes a twist in my sitting position. Long days of typing literally cause me pain. To that end this keyboard does the trick. It sits squarely in front of the screen without hindering the mouse pad. The distance to the mouse is now reduced by 5-6 inches; much better. The jury is still out though on the overall experience. This thing is truly small - perhaps too small. Typing on it is fine - once I have my fingers on the home keys. I like the key travel which is decidedly short, but it is positive and has a satisfying feel; solid and quiet. It resembles typing on my laptop which is fine for me. It is a full sized keyboard. If I lay it over my 13.3" laptop it matches the keys closely in width and height. If I lay it over my MUCH larger Microsoft multimedia keyboard again the keys line up closely in both the row and column patterns. The keys do have a slight concave shape and the spacing is good for me. The problem I'm having is there is no palm rest to serve as an alignment assist for my hands. If I were to put my palms on the bottom edge of the keyboard my fingertips would fall on the qwerty row. So my palms are off the keyboard when my fingers are on the home keys. That makes it a challenge to locate my fingers on the proper keys (I'm a touch typist). So I find myself hunting for the asdfghjkl; row before I can start typing. I'm also not sure about the curve. I might get used to the curved keyboard. I'm typing on it now and it feels comfortable. It's just that I've typed on a flat keyboard for so many years this feels odd. The rows of keys are spaced closer as you move from the center of the keyboard to the edges. This too isn't like a standard keyboard and tends to feel a bit odd and throws me off a bit. Also the keyboard is SO thin that I had to put a 1" thick book under it to bring it above the raised edge on my pull-out keyboard drawer. Otherwise my fingertips would be in an unusual low position that I'm not used to. In some ways I'd rather just have a standard keyboard, taller, with a flat surface, with evenly spaced rows, without the number pad on the side. I did a lot of research before purchasing this keyboard. There are very few slim wireless keyboards on the market and user reviews for the others were not satisfying. I'm not a gamer so the single key that performs cursor movement is fine. It will take some getting used to but I don't see that as a big challenge. I mostly use the mouse for cursor movements when typing anyway. The placement of the Backspace and Del keys are perfect for me. I haven't developed a habit of using Home and End but they are on the top row if needed. I have the sense that Microsoft went for form over function; sort of Apple'esque like the Apple Air. This is what keeps me from moving to the Apple camp. I prefer function over form. I hope Microsoft doesn't catch that disease. I now have both keyboards available. If I really want to use a number pad I can reach up to the other keyboard. However I've never gotten used to the number pad anyway and often found myself using the number row above the keyboard even when there was a number pad available. Pros: - Very narrow keyboard. No number pad. No space allocated to the right of the main key set for things like Home, End, and cursor keys. - Reasonably nice typing experience - Battery life? Cons: - Too thin (height). - No palm rest - No adjustable feet to tilt the keyboard. - Curved keyboard surface - Uneven row spacing. As this solves my main problem, that being the overall width of the keyboard, I'm keeping it. It will take some time to get used to it but I'm willing to to through the effort to get rid of the number pad. Your mileage may vary...

I needed a small keyboard for a second notebook that sits off to the side and on a riser, making its keyboard unusable. The small keyboard is perfect for tight spaces. Nearly full-size keys with a tiny keyboard footprint. I use it for a notebook but I imagine it would be excellent for a compatible TV or using your notebook through a TV. Keys also have a decent feel and response when typjng.

I purchased this product as an add on to my IMAC. at times i connect to windows and needed a key board with the windows functionality the moment i plug the adapter to the usb port it worked immediately. plus i luv the soft key feel to it.

Initially I was hesitant to try a smaller keyboard. I had always preferred keyboards that had the numeric pad on it. This keyboard however has more than made up for its small size. It feels great to type on. It's sturdy, and very lightweight. It does not slide around on your desktop due to rubber feet on the bottom, and because of its arched design, there are no extra little tabs to help keep it in an inclined position, A big plus for someone who's always finding those little tabs breaking off and ending up with a flat keyboard. I wouldn't recommend this keyboard to anybody with very large fingers, or someone who has dexterity issues. For me however, I love this keyboard and I'm very happy with my purchase.

This keyboard works great in smaller spaces. I bought a new desk with a smaller keyboard tray and wanted to have sufficient space for both the keyboard and mouse. This one is compact and lightweight, yet grips the surface well enough. Nice feel to the keys.

I like this key board because it is light and portable I can sit back and type don't have to be at the desk. I also love Logitech products because they usually last better for us anyway.

This keyboard is a must! Extremely light and works great! Use it for my laptop when plugged into my tv so I am able to play games (sims) from far away.

I bought this to hook up to my Xbox one so I could type easier in the apps. Works great and hides easily in an end table drawer in the living room.

Good keyboard, and small enough for carrying in a small daypack. No problems connecting to our laptop, which has lost functionality of its keyboard. Battery life seems good. Good tactile feedback.

This has been a very good keyboard. I needed something that doesn't take up much room as it shares desk space with a mouse, phone, laptop and audio console on my desk. The keystroke is very good and the curved shape is very comfortable.

I love this keyboard. It's very compact, the keys feel great and the lay out works great.

Love how space saving it is and the low profile keys. Makes for easier typing. Could use the number pad on the side though.

Works great, compact with no extra keys. Great for travel.

Perfect keyboard! Great size! Easy to use and easy hookup!
