Customer Ratings & Reviews

The keyboard works right out of the box for your Xbox 360 - just plug-in the USB transceiver to one of the Xbox 360's USB port, and no software installation needed. People complained about how the arrow keys should be individual keys rather than a pad on the keyboard, but the design is perfect for navigating within your Xbox 360's dashboard. As for the value, I would have given it 3 stars, but since it was on sale, I'm giving it 5 stars, and the design and chiclet keys are nicely done and easy to use for a compact keyboard.

Got this on sale for $ 30.00. I would not have paid the$ 60.00 full price for it. I use this mainly for my home theater PC. The reception is not the best. Had it plugged in to back of my tower as have no front usb and had a lot of dropped key strokes at about 7 feet away. Bought a powered usb hub to move it closer (aprox 5 feet) and the reception has been great since. No missed keystrokes. Also have used it for my regular desktop and love the extra space I have due to the small size. The battery life is good as I still am using the original battery since Nov 2010. The keyboard is very quiet and is comfortable for me. It takes a little while to get use to the small size but if you are in need of space or want to be able to tuck it away when not using it is a nice little keyboard if you catch it on sale. I will be buying another when BB has another sale on it. I will give it 4 stars since got it on sale and due to the reception, but if had to pay full price would knock off a star.

First off this keyboard is definitely the most sexy on the market right now. The key strokes feel wonderful and I experience no lag. The USB fob sticks right underneath the keyboard by a magnet to easy storage and is strong enough to hold on to the fob for portability. The shape and size is ideal for comfort. Not too small and nowhere near too big. It matches my Dell Studio XPS laptop beautifully.

I have been using the ARC keyboard and mouse for about 2 months now (I bought it on sale during Christmas). I am a 49 years old male who can not type if my life depended in it. I do pick and hunt method, and I am a high leval IT professional. I love the ARC keyboard. Its small and very cool looking. I can hit all the keys as I type with minimal corrections later. Oh ya one more point everyone in the office (Good looking Girls) love the mouse and keybourd. I am writing this review because BestBuy E-mail poped into my inbox after upgrading to the new ARC Touch wicth id very cool. Get the Touch mouse.

I bought this keyboard today because i needed a new one and i needed a small one for my desk. I decided on this after looking for a couple of days. Overall its good it does what i need and its the size i needed it to be. The keys are quiet when i use it to type. The arc is a little weird but i got used to it after it a couple of hours. My biggest problem with the keyboard is the arrows its just one button and you have to press up on the button for up and so on. Overall like i said before its a good buy, but for the price of $59.99 i would hold off and wait for it on sale honestly.

This portable keyboard has a great look and feel. Unlike most of the porty's I tried, the ultra low profile keys very comfortable to use for long periods of time. My typing accuracy is definitely better versus the typical keys found on most keyboards. The "arc" style is not only attractive but ergonomically superior, especially when resting the keyboard across the lap. The unit includes a durable fabric carrying pouch which does a good job protecting the keyboard from scratches and key damage when stowed in a laptop bag. The built-in storage slot for the tiny "nano" usb receiver is also a convenient feature. Although software to set-up and enable the special programmable keys can be downloaded, the unit is plug-and-play for Windows PC's. The only slight negatives would be: 1) The (top row) "F" command keys feel more like "buttons" than "keys". It's not a problem for me but those who use these keys frequently might find them a bit tedious. 2) The "arrow" keys have been condensed into a single compass-like button that handles up/down/right/left by pressing the key towards the direction you wish to go. Again, users who have frequent need of the arrow keys might be disappointed. All things considered, the few compromises that were made in favor of a compact design are of little concern considering the excellent overall performance of this keyboard. Highly recommended although a bit pricey.

This item is more expensive than many other portable keyboards but is very comfortable, light and works well.

i bought this for my new home computer, right now i have it in my bedroom and when i tested the range, about 12 feet, on the other side of the room it worked no problem. easy to set up. just plug in and away you go.i love the design soo much also.

This keyboard is great size if you are looking for a small wireless keyboard (which I was) and I love the little arc it has. Plug and play just like you'd expect. CON: My biggest beef with this keyboard is that the range on it is very low. I have a computer hooked up to my entertainment system and I was looking for a small keyboard to sit on the coffee table should I need it. However I learned that if I wasn't within ~7.5ft of the receiver it would either miss key presses or stop responding all together. This was very disappointing. I now use it on my desk and use my wireless keyboard that was in my office in my living room instead. :( In the end its definitely worth the price.

Be sure you know what you are getting. This is a laptop size keyboard that is just perfect for the living room or bedroom computer. It has a cute little case so it can be tucked away on a system tower and is always ready to go to surf or to load up Netflix or Hulu on the big screen. I bought one for my living room and am getting another for the bedroom. Perfect little keyboard.

I found myself replacing (the newest Duracells, btw) the AAAs every 2 to 3 days. (A full-size Logitech using the same batteries is on it's 5th month.) I am not alone in this; our contractor on some work we're having done has precisely the same problem. You should also be aware it's a fingerprint magnet, if that's important to you. I think BB has this on clearance for a reason.

just what you will want in a wiFi key pad good looking, light weight, easy to use

I have been looking for a new keyboard for some time and I really wanted something wireless and different and I finally found it with this product. I also have the Arc wireless mouse ( which I adore ) and this keyboard is a perfect match for it. If you are looking for a nice clean minimalist look on your desk or just looking to free up some room on your desk top this is the keyboard for you.

This keyboard is a replacement for my Dell laptop's keyboard. Very easy to set up and use; connects via a small USB plug. Only negative is how the light indicator is backwards: the long green light means the keyboard is ON, and three short green lights means it is OFF (not sure if my instructions were poorly written or if this has been addressed already).

This is my second one performs excellent good range. Only problem the nano receiver for the unit is specific and not replacable. So you must buy a new complete keyboard unit if you loose the USB Nano. There is no replacement.

My daughter loves this keyboard for her laptop. Her keys on the laptop are broken. Her favorite thing is this keyboard has a place to store the USP adapter inside the back. It appears to have decent range too. I prefer a keyboard with a 10-key, but for her purposes, it works great.

I love this keyboard. The keys are big enough and in the right places that I don't make "fatfinger" mistakes that I then have to correct. I also love that it has a USB connection, which means you put a little USB cable on your tablet and then attach the USB key from the keyboard. Voila. Connected without any cords. I use an old Nokia n810 tablet and I had to flash it and download the USB utility. Each time I boot it up, I select USB host mode, rather than device mode. This disconnects the built-in, thumb-size keyboard and tells the tablet to look for a USB connection. It's quick and easy. I had a previous, smaller keyboard -- it was too small and the keys were in the wrong places. I made tons of mistakes, so that it was not even worth the $10 I paid for it. On this keyboard, only the arrow keys are moved, to one key in the corner. The character keys are all just where you expect them. Great for typing, and I'm glad I bought it at Best Buy because, even tho it might be cheaper online, I was able to try it for size and one of the always intelligent sales staff recommended I try it. I love that there is an actual store to go to and try out things like this, and smart people there to help you. That's worth a few extra bucks, imo.

Very easy to use. Speeds up work. Prevents unwanted curser movement with laptop. easy on and off.

It's refreshing to see a bold new keyboard design. No reason we can't see more style in keyboards. Would like to see back lit keys make it to wireless units. I wish it had both insert and delete without needing to use the function key. I use shift insert all the time.

I bought the Microsoft Wireless Arc Keyboard to complement a Media Center PC. At first glance, the keyboard was excellent. For those who like typing on a laptop, the feeling of the keys are perfect. The arc design takes some getting used to, as for me it felt very awkward at first and was somewhat uncomfortable. The range was excellent and covered my entire living room. The real problem is that after two days the USB receiver quit working; Windows complains that the USB device is not recognized. Furthermore, upon pulling the device out of of the computer, it was very hot to the touch. Looks like some quality control issues here. I will try my luck elsewhere.
