On June 22nd 2010 (Press release: Link), ARCTIC entered the input device market with three different products: two mice and a keyboard. The keyboard was named the ARCTIC K381 and it sports a few interesting features.
In addition to its multimedia and office keys, the ARCTIC K381 has an ultra-slim design. The keyboard’s thickness ranges from 12 to 20 mm, which is a fraction of the thickness of typical keyboards. Its low-profile keys allow for a very short travel distance that should enhance comfort and typing speed.
Not only it is thin, the keyboard’s frame is kept to a minimum in order to make the ARCTIC K381 space efficient. For anyone looking to use desk space wisely, such as students with their textbook-cluttered desks, the ARCTIC K381 keyboard will no doubt be interesting.
