I am losing the war on clutter. Apparently my desk can spew gadgets, cables and crap out hidden orifices. So instead of fighting the power by actually cleaning, I picked up both the Microsoft Arc Keyboard and Apple Wireless Keyboard in a desperate attempt to regain my sanity.

My thought was that maybe, with their smaller frames and wireless capability, I could peacefully co-exist with the crap on my desk. After all, they forgo the number pad for a more compact laptop-ish layout. But alas, I also found both have different fatal flaws and aren’t able to handle my daily workload — so I’m back typing on my old full-size Apple keyboard.

Still, they are both great keyboards in their own right and might be a legitimate alternative for you. Click through for my findings.

Looks

Winner – Apple

The Microsoft Arc keyboard is a good looking kit. But the Apple Keyboard is downright sexy with a sleek aluminum skin paired with white keys. There’s no contest really. The Apple Keyboard could be featured in a museum 100 years from now representing “post-modern computer.”

Ergonomics

Winner – Microsoft

The Arc keyboard has, well, a slight arc to it. It curves up in the center, which I’ve found reduces stress on my wrists. It was a bit different at first, partly because my desk is slightly higher than it should be, but it was awesome once I got used to it. The Apple Keyboard isn’t bad per se as it’s basically the same form factor as a standard keyboard — just sans a number pad.

Both keyboards feature full-size letter keys, but the Apple keyboard has a smaller space bar than found on a normal keyboard. The Arc keyboard however has what seems to be a full-size space bar along with everything else besides the arrow keys. Where the Apple keyboard has a dedicated button for each directional arrow, the Arc has a single button that rocks in each direction. It seems to work well and I haven’t had any issues with it, although I don’t navigate spreadsheets for a living.

Tactile Feedback

Winner- Tie

Think laptop chiclet keys. That’s what both are like. Almost a cross between mushy and springy, but overall satisfying.

Compatibility

Winner- Microsoft Arc

This surprised me. The playback controls on Microsoft Arc keyboard work great in both Windows and OS X. This means that users can control the volume levels and such via the Arc keyboard in both operating systems — a big thing for OS X, actually. But the Apple Wireless Keyboard doesn’t control the volume levels in Windows, only OS X. It’s somewhat strange as the Microsoft Arc keyboard uses a little USB receiver where the Apple Keyboard works via Bluetooth, which I thought would have ensured a bit more compatibility.

Installation

Winner – Microsoft Arc

Windows – Simply plug in the USB receiver for Windows to pick up the Arc. That’s it. The installation is complete. The Apple Keyboard requires you to pull up the Bluetooth menu and then select the keyboard. Windows then asks you to type in a series of numbers to complete the installation.

OS X – The Arc installs nearly as easy in OS X. Once the receiver is plugged in, OS X asks the user to press two buttons on the keyboard to confirm the installation and you’re done. The Apple Keyboard’s OS X installation is nearly the process that’s by Windows: Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant, select install keyboard, type in a series of numbers.

The Deal Breakers

I love the footprints of these keyboards but they also have major issues that I cannot look past. The Arc Keyboard like to double capitalize characters. So when I type a capitalized word, the first two letters are big. LIke this. OR this. ANd this. It happens more than it doesn’t. ANoying.

Then the Apple Keyboard doesn’t work well with Windows. Apple used the same design found on its laptops so the fn key is located in the farthest left position — this is where the Control key should be. Sure, not a big deal for OS X users, but a big deal for the Windows crowd. The Apple keyboard also doesn’t have a true delete button — that is, it says “delete” but it’s actually backspace. Apple has done this for years on its notebooks, but it’s something that I cannot give up on my main input device no matter if I was using Windows or OS X. But it’s a huge deal breaker in Windows as there’s no way to Ctrl+Alt+Del without it.

So with the double capitalization thing in the Arc and lack of true delete key on the Apple Keyboard, it’s safe to say these keyboards are not meant for power users. It’s a shame, too. I can’t be the only one that’s willing to ditch the full keyboard in favor of a piece of smaller wireless kit. I’m not giving up searching though. There has to be something out there that will let me live and work peacefully on my cluttered desk.

Short version: if you don’t want to spend more than $600 and you must have a 15″ screen, the 5538 is a perfectly decent option, as long as you don’t mind netbook-like performance.

Features:

• 1.2GHz Athlon X2 L310
• Multi-touch trackpad
• Radeon HD 4330
• 15″ LED screen (1366×768)
• 4GB DDR2 RAM
• MSRP: $550

Pros:

• Great price for a 15″ laptop
• Comfortable keyboard
• Plenty of ports; DVD/CD-writer

Cons:

• Lacks power
• Screen seems lackluster in brightness and color
• Build quality is suspect

Full review:

The 5538 is one of the cheapest 15″ laptops on the market. The reason for this is basically that it puts everything into appearing to be a larger laptop than it actually is — which paradoxically allows it to be a little slimmer than those other laptops. Its low-power CPU puts it more in the nice netbook class than anything else, but 4GB of RAM and a 320GB HDD standard, to say nothing of the large screen and multi-touch trackpad, put it quite a distance ahead of the nicest 10″ models. And at $550-$600, you’re not paying much of a premium.

The look being pursued here is obviously the MacBook Pro: black chiclet keyboard, black bezel, faux-aluminum frame, even the signature screen hinge — and it doesn’t look bad at all. It’s a little more than an inch thick when closed, and is generally understated and practical in design. Looks are definitely not something you could complain about here. One thing that bothered me, however, was that the lid does not lock closed. I’d be concerned when traveling that it would constantly be opening slightly and closing, whacking the keyboard every time. Also, while it is certainly sturdy enough, it does feel quite plasticky.

The keyboard is comfortable to type on, though the inclusion of a full number pad pushes your home row pretty far to the left. Keys are well-sized and press easily, though there was something about the undersized arrow keys I didn’t like. The trackpad is extremely far to the left as well. How much these things (don’t) bother you is a matter of taste, really. I’m typing this review on it (on my lap, where it is balancing nicely) and having no trouble at all. It’s not a light computer, however, but if you’re looking at 15″ models you’re not going to find many that weigh in under 4 pounds.

I was excited to use a multi-touch trackpad on something other than my Mac, and although I was disappointed (as I always am with non-Apple trackpads), it’s not that bad. The scrolling is relatively responsive, thought still not so well-integrated with Windows as I’d like. Get on that, Microsoft! The trackpad tracked just fine, although I found that the bottom 10% of it was unresponsive to touch. Personally, I would ask for a replacement if I received a trackpad that didn’t work across its whole surface. The buttons (or two-ended single button, to be precise) are all right, but there is a pretty big unclickable zone in the middle, meaning you have to hit the left mouse button pretty far over — and remember, it’s already 2/3rds of the way to the left side of the laptop, so for right-handers it’s kind of a reach.

The laptop’s main attraction is its screen, which is decent but not worth shouting about. It’s big enough and high-res enough to watch 720p content if the processor can handle it (depends on codec, bitrate, and player), but brightness and color are only so-so. You can always bump saturation in the settings, though. It’s plenty sharp, however, and the viewing angle is good — the sweet spot is pretty large. For watching DVDs and web video, this would be an perfectly good machine.

Don’t be put off by the processor’s low Hz count — remember that the M11x, ostensibly a gaming machine, was only 100Hz faster than the 5538’s 1.2GHz Athlon, though it was seriously overclocked. The Athlon X2 in this thing does a perfectly good job of running Windows 7, although if I’m honest, with anything at this power level, I’d rather have it running XP really well than Windows 7 passably. The graphics card is nothing to write home about, but should be sufficient for some light gaming; WoW comes to mind, it should be perfectly playable along with games of about that level of fidelity. The “Vision” category the 5538 falls into is “Premium,” which means it’s got hardware transcoding ability. Handy, but I wouldn’t want to work in high-def video with a low-voltage CPU.

The big screen and discrete graphics card do tug at the battery somewhat, though: I got a maximum of about 3 hours. More than enough to watch a Hulu episode in bed or get a little light blogging done at the cafe, but long battery life is not one of the aspects it shares with netbooks.

Conclusion

If you know what you’re getting into, the Aspire 5538 can be a great deal. You can’t expect a lot of power or really any standout features, but if there’s a need for a medium-sized screen somewhere for watching videos or browsing the web, this is a great machine. The touch scrolling is handy, the keyboard is nice, and the screen is sharp, so reading and writing on the 5538 is a joy. Just know that you will bump up against the limits of the CPU and battery without trying. Still, for around $550 it’s a solid deal.

Oh man, I must be dreaming. Please don’t wake up! Please don’t wake up! Please don’t wake up! A mouse pad with a built-in 10-key number pad AND a three-port USB hub? All for $25?!

Yum.

It seems a little odd that the keypad would be to the left of the mouse pad but those of you lefties out there who also happen to be accountants with at least three USB peripherals that need to be plugged in have found your ultimate work-related number crunching weapon. According to the product description:

“This 3 USB Hub PC Keyboard Mouse Pad provides your mouse with a smooth surface ensuring greater accuracy, control, and faster response. It makes you point, click and drag quickly, smoothly and accurately. The numeric keyboard is very convenient to you.”

It’s also “easy to use, hot plug & play.” And who doesn’t like a little hot plug and play action?
