ARCTIC K381 Keyboard

 

The K381 keyboard has an ultra-slim design that makes it very space efficient. The simplicity in the design of this keyboard embraces style, quality and functionality. Although the K381 is small and thin, it is embedded with 12 one-touch office...

This is a great little keyboard and does exactly what we expected it would do. We typed this whole review, as well as a few others, with this keyboard to get as good feel for it. The slim design is great and our hands fit great on it with no strain to...

Arctic K381 Multi-function Keyboard

 

Keyboards aren't the most exciting PC component – and they generally don't get a lot of attention when you are considering upgrading. But along with the mouse, the keyboard is your primary method of input for your PC and so we feel it's important to...

Function keys geared toward email and word processing; Good low format keys make typing fast and easy; Smaller size good for travel

European and England keys not useful for North American users; No height angle adjustment

With a MSRP of $25, the Arctic Cooling K381 keyboard is a good keyboard for purchase if you're in England or Europe for general computer use or gaming. I had no problems and the keyboard is very responsive and great for those quick movements required...

Arctic K381 Keyboard Review

 

You're probably in the same boat, or cube anyway, when it comes to keyboards. I've tried a variety and thought the Arctic K381 which claims to be “perfect for comfortable typing” and allows “continuous typing without fatigue” was worth a try. The...

Small, slim

Keys can stick if hit at an angle

Review: Arctic K381 Slim Keyboard For Windows

 

Our school finally recently replaced the teacher workstation computers with updated machines running Windows 7.  One thing they did not replace was the old keyboards.  I am not sure how old the keyboard I had was, but it was enormous.  I remember a few...

Arctic K381 Multi-Functional Keyboard Review

 

The QWERTY arrangement on the keyboard wasn't a fluke. Originally, the first typewriter was made with an ABC method that lined everything up in order. This caused an issue. When typists worked at rapid pace, they ended up jamming the keys because the...

Light Weight ; Slim Design ; Key Separation ; Alternate Function Abilities ; Plug and Play ; Alternate Color Option (Black or White)

Sharp Edges On Keys ; No Angle Adjustment

Overall, the Arctic K381 is a nice keyboard. The K381 has an ultra slim design. Slim design and plug and play ability make the K381 a nice choice as a portable keyboard. Many budget laptops come with smaller keyboards that are awkward and uncomfortable...

Arctic Cooling K381 Keyboard

 

The Arctic Cooling K381 presents a relatively fine mix of features at a lowish price. At $24.95 the K381 is only a little more than your standard run of the mill keyboard. The design is more attractive than the very cheapest stuff on the market, but it...

Low price, Looks alright, Modern styling with chiclet style keys, Good amount of features for a cheap keyboard, Very slim line design, Size

Arctic K381 Multi-Function Keyboard

 

Today we'll be taking a look at the Arctic K381 multi-functional keyboard. Arctic-Cooling has been making some well engineered products for some time now ranging from computer cases, power supplies, high end audio, and of course CPU and VGA coolers....

Inexpensive ; Slim and Quiet ; Comfortable ; Plug and play USB ; 6 foot cable

A little flimsy ; Not recommended for gaming

The Arctic K381 is a bare bones keyboard. There are not a lot of features at all to speak of as it is just a standard keyboard. The K381 retails for $24.99. So what do you get for that price? Well, you get a comfortable keyboard that you could use all...
