Curvy and lightweight, the Arc keyboard will have stowable nano transreciever
Remember Microsoft's curvy Arc mouse that we reviewed back in 2008? Since the Arc mouse was feeling lonely, Microsoft decided to introduce new Arc Keyboard at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show 2010 in Las Vegas. This Arc Keyboard costs $60 (Rs. 2,880 approx.) and will be available at Best Buy exclusively for U.S. based consumers from February 21.
Slim looking Arc Keyboard has arc shape with 'beautiful curves'. It comes with 2.4GHz USB wireless trans-receiver which is tiny. This nano trans-receiver can be left plugged in the PC/laptop or stowed under the keyboard. Targeted at the living room multimedia enthusiasts, this curvy keyboard might be appealing for them.
Microsoft's Arc Keyboard is compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP based PCs and Mac OS X 10.4-10.6 running Mac systems.
So, lets get something clear. It does the same thing as a regular keyboard (no new features) and costs more than my Logitech, which has a lot of cool features. Not to mention it will only sell in US.
Also, if this keyboard is as "comfortable" and Arc mouse (which was an utter piece of trash) - this is not innovation, this is just another product from Microsoft, just to keep the somewhat relevant on the market.
