Microsoft Arc Mouse

 

Microsoft pulls off an industrial design coup with its crescent-shaped Arc Mouse, whose performance is as nifty as its looks.

Full-size mouse that folds smaller than most notebook mice. Virtually weightless. Extra tiny receiver can stow beneath mouse when not in use. Sharp precision.

Relies on AAA batteries with no recharge option. Cannot be used when hinge is folded.

Microsoft ARC Mouse review

 

It took us a few minutes to realize what Microsoft's new Arc Mouse is all about. The collapsible design at first suggested that it's both a full-size mouse and a notebook mouse in one product. We were confused as to who would want such a thing. Upon...

Unique appearance; collapsible design saves bag space and secures wireless receiver; easy to set up.

Side button hard to use with a standard mouse grip.

Microsoft's Arc mouse is almost as functional as its form is pleasing. The travel-friendly features make perfect sense, and in general, it's a serviceable mouse for Macs and PCs. Only a few minor design issues hold it back.

Microsoft Arc Mouse Review

 

When I first looked at the Arc Mouse, two thoughts passed: “Great, another ‘travel' mouse that will be too small to actually use!” and “What a cool looking mouse!” Once it was unboxed and on my desk, my perception changed further. It had a solid feel,...

Review: Microsoft Arc Mouse

 

This wireless mouse features a unique arc design that allows it to fold up for transport. Macworld's Jackie Dove is impressed with the Arc Mouse's combination of looks, feel, and convenience.

This mouse is lightweight, with a spare body, and it comes in black or red. It’s just the right size for my smallish hand—but I can imagine that people with smaller or larger hands will also be comfortable using it. It has a matte plastic shell that I...
