Microsoft’s Arc keyboard has been on sale for some time, but here’s an additional hands-on review in case you’re in the market for a new wireless keyboard.
SET-UP
Just like with the Arc mouse, the Arc keyboard is incredibly easy to set-up. Compatible with both Mac and Windows, the Arc connects to the computer using a USB nano transceiver with 2.4GHz wireless technology. The Arc is powered by a pair of AAA batteries that are included in the box. There is a little indicator light on the top right of the keyboard that will shine when the battery is low, but since the included batteries were brand new and wrapped in plastic, I never saw it.
Once all of that is installed, a message will pop up on the screen of your computer asking for a couple commands to identify the proper model. That was completed in three clicks, and I was on my way.
