Microsoft Arc Keyboard vs the Apple Wireless Keyboard

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.
