Microsoft Arc Keyboard Unboxing and Review

[bmikevictor]

Yeap totally great review of the keyboard! At first, I thought that because it doesn't have arrow keys it's not that good for gaming ( since I enjoy this activity ), but then I remembered that I didn't use arrow keys in gaming since...10 years ago haha . Infact, 'cause it's ergonomic shape, it really helps when you spend too much time working or playing, plus it has 27 feet range. 10x for the vid!

[AJFedora]

This need to come in a backlit wired version. Nice review man!

[LegolasManowarMJ]

Are the batteries AA or AAA ?

[1Heretic]

its bluetooth? i have microsoft 6000 with the numpad, and the numpad is the best for playing first person games

[mitsri1991]

do you think that it is good for office use? I am a programmer, and I hate my freaking keyboard. Do you recommend this one for long hours ?

[kareem2357]

@mitsri1991

I think you can find it on shelves in really big stores

i typed on it once or twice and its really nice, now i have the MS bluetooth keyboard which supposed to be similar

and its great i can hit 100wmp with it, if the arc is the same as mine then its a really good deal

check out the logi wave

[darwyn4]

it's perfect for casual users, but if you work in photoshop. illustrator, it's not four you. I found that out the hard way

[blonde198821]

i really like the looks of this keyboard. Do u still have this keyboard or did you like if enough to still recommend it to someone else?

[jsteintech]

@blonde198821 Yeah I still have this keyboard. I use it everyday on my desktop computer, its very comfortable to use and still works very well.

[Garyyx24]

i prefer the apple wireless keyboard and i run windows

[raphexe]

@Garyyx24 we don't care GTFO

[Garyyx24]

@raphexe U MAD?

[raphexe]

@Garyyx24 no YOU mad since you post your dumb command on every keyboard video. Lame!

[thekikoman1]

is it good for gaming ? :)

[Searchinganswers]

I want a keyboard just like this, but also lit up. Any recomendation?

[OakridgeProductions9]

what gamer using the directional button? lol I have this keyboard and love it

[TheMkib]

WTF ! we both have the same keyboard (arc) and tv and we both also use them as monitors and we both have the same webcam!!!

[jsteintech]

@TheMkib HAHA thats awesome!...you coming on to me or something?

[TheMkib]

@jsteintech ew no

[jsteintech]

@TheMkib ...kidding man hahaha

[TheMkib]

WTF! u have the same tv as me and we both use them as monitors and we both have the same webcam!!!

[mancs92]

you have the exact samsung monitor and speakers as me lol

[jsteintech]

@mancs92 Great minds think alike ;)

[0ChrisJones0]

REAL PC gamers use WASD.

[jsteintech]

@0ChrisJones0 Haha true that

[badis23]

they sell them in sweden for 18 dollars

[warmacre]

I don't think it was designed as a permanent keyboard, hence the carry bag, so some of the design flaws you mention are null and void in my opinion.

[TKD1600]

How much cost one???

[jsteintech]

@TKD1600 I think around $40 now

[alexbondino]

@TKD1600 34,99-39,99

[jsteintech]

@alexbondino Nice, I think it's worth it.....think it was $60 when i got it around a year ago

[Stjarnor]

@TKD1600 In Sweden it costs about $25 (199 SEK). Freakin low price =O

[NBKxCLaNLEaDeR]

yeah thats a good review but i was wondering before i buy this item how big is is in length? if you can write back i would by very happy:)

[liuwenjie6678]

anyone knows how to press the F7 key on this keyboard?please~~~~~

[player0092]

how does this compare with the apple wireless keyboard? do you think that a curved keyboard design helps instead of the apple straight key design

[nene888]

mrsammmyy tu si que eres gracioso.

[GuyofSpades]

Mac OS = Aluminum

Windows = Aero

[obrecht72]

Nice review.

I'm thinking of getting this little gem for my kitchen PC (yeah I keep one in the kitchen for quick reference and recipes). Anyway it is relatively inexpensive for a wireless KB and it's size would allow it to be tucked away when not in use.

[nene888]

hello, yo tengo ese teclado pero, cual es la tecla del menú contextual?

[AnimatorLinden]

sweet review i currently using this keyboard with the arc mouse :D

[teseppa]

Hi! Great video!

Are the keys the kind of you´d find in an apple keyboard or "normal"? Can they be popped out one by one so that it can be cleaned out of dust with a vacuum cleaner? Thanks!

[MrHughesy92]

i have this keyboard and that slight movement from side to side is SOOOOOOOOO ANNOYING

[TheWoWBane]

what size is the keyboard? like a 15inch laptop keyboard?

[Amr109]

is it just me or does everyone forget that most games use W,A,S,D keys ? directional keys are rarely used in games anymore.

[MegaEliteMan]

Lol, "there's just a little bit of movement, but i can tell" haha im just like that too. :-)

[attidude07]

what's wrong with this keyboard for fps gaming when ppl DONT use the arrow/numpad keys ? i use WSAD, and i prefer the wsad keys being closer to my mouse. so i think this keyboard wud suit me perfectly.

[blonde198821]

Great vid i love the looks of the arc keyboard and the mouse but it costs too much

[MrRisingVenom]

Hey there - I really love that keyboard - its really comfortable and quite rare.

[nene888]

Hola, sabes si tiene teclas de avance y retroceso de canciones?

[grosslyclever]

try not to repeat yourself over and over again lol (sorry for 2x posting)

[jsteintech]

@grosslyclever Ha yeah i messed up a little towards the end, i really wanted to get this up so i probably rushed through everything a little quickly....Thanks for commenting though....twice haha

[grosslyclever]

lol love the unboxing!

[MorganDeLad]

hardcore gamer....WoW..... WHAT THE FFFUUUUCK!?!?

[jsteintech]

@MorganDeLad I was referring to games that use that arrow keys extensively

[anon69]

Wished it had normal arrow keys. But then it might not be a huge deal most of the time.

[firetruckracer]

@jsteintech no hardcore gamer uses the arrow keys unless they are a loser who plays maplestory or some shit.

[strobe9]

@firetruckracer hardcore gamers ARE losers... haha

[robertcochransvideos]

@MorganDeLad seriously! what a noob

[grentz]

Nice JStein! I like this one better than your other unboxings..has a nice flow to it. Looks like a sweet keyboard too, I would love to try typing on it sometime.

[jsteintech]

Thanks man, yeah it's really nice you'll have to try it out

[zentamm]

but where/how does it plug in?

[jsteintech]

You use that micro transmitter that is on the bottom of the keyboard, it just plugs easily into a usb slot . There's no included software so actually you don't need to install drivers or anything, basically just plug and play. So you can seemingly use it on anything from a computer, to a ps3 or xbox 360.
