Review: Microsoft Arc keyboard

Chunky, 'comfortable' keyboards are most definitely out of fashion. In their place are slim, spare, minimalist keyboards with smaller shallower buttons. Microsoft has picked up on the trend with its latest range of ergonomic-ish Arc keyboards.

The good news is that there are no awkward set-up manoeuvres to be engaged in: you plug the small wireless receiver into your computer's USB port and start typing away. The receiver can then be stowed on the back of the keyboard (it attaches magnetically) if you want to transport the device around the place.

In terms of regular use, the Arc takes a little time to get used to. In particular, typing and finger positioning need to be more accurate than large keyboards as the physical buttons are more sensitive, due to their shallower depth. The keyboard works for both PC and Mac.
