More recently, Microsoft has introduced a new Arc series wireless keyboard. This device is called Microsoft Arc Keyboard. This is a very unusual mobile keyboard designed to work with a variety of devices.
The initial package includes the following devices:
- Arc keyboard;
- USB adapter for wireless signal;
- cover for the keyboard;
- batteries;
- technical documentation.
The keyboard case is made of glossy plastic. The top of the device is black and the bottom is white. The cover has protective functions. It prevents scratches and stains on the keyboard during transportation.
The back of the Microsoft Arc Keyboard has a battery compartment. The device operates using standard AA batteries. In addition, there is a small recess on the back for placing the USB adapter. It should be noted that this gadget has a very small size. The surface of the hole is magnetized, which allows the adapter to be securely fastened.
To work with the keyboard, you do not need to install additional programs and drivers. All function keys work stably. This option has been tested with Windows 7 and 8 operating systems. The wireless adapter functions smoothly.
The Microsoft Arc keyboard is curved. The central part is located much higher than the edges. The manufacturer claims this design helps reduce fatigue during continuous printing. The device has the following dimensions: 310x155x5-20 mm. It should be noted that the device lacks an additional numeric keypad. The familiar arrows located in the lower right part are made in the form of a cross.
The described keyboard can be used in conjunction with laptops and tablets. It should be noted that due to the unusual shape of the case and light weight, using the Arc Keyboard on your lap is not very convenient. The price of this device is approximately 2500 rubles.
