With the world gone touch mad, Microsoft has joined in with the Arc Touch . It features a scroll strip instead of a wheel to keep the overall profile of the mouse as thin as possible.

Lays flat for easy storage and carrying; responsive touch scroll strip; tracks accurately on most surfaces

Micro receiver can easily be lost; buttons a bit stiff; no side buttons; poor ergonomics; pricey

The Arc Touch derives its name from its two main features. It should be obvious that the 'Arc' part of the moniker comes from the shape of the mouse. Although that's not entirely true, as the Arc Touch's piece de resistance is that it collapses flat making it, says Microsoft, easier to transport...

Bluetrack works on almost any surface; Compact design

Uncomfortable after a while; Expensive compared to alternatives; Folding ability isn't all that useful

Like the Magic Mouse, this is slightly more attractive than practical

Looks slick; portable

"Touch" scroll wheel has horrible feel

If you forget to SHUT OFF at end of day, batteries don't last long. Also, other mice have TONS of features, this only has 1 that is useful.

Accurate Tracking; Comfortable Design; Works On Any Surface

Poor Battery Life

I can honestly say that I was actually pleasantly surprised and impressed by the Arc Touch. This ultra portable mouse really can fold flat making it easy to find room in even the most crowded of laptop bags.

The Arc Touch has an amazing design that's unlike any other mouse that we've reviewed before. About the size and shape of a mobile phone, it has two buttons at one end and a tapered body covered in grip-friendly rubber.

I don't even want to risk purchasing the next version as I don't want to get stuck with another one when I upgrade my laptop again next year.

It worked great until I changed laptops; It has a nicer feel than my cheep wireless mouses and fits my hand well

It will not load to my new laptop and I have spent multiple hours making every effort; I have reloaded the software; I have two cheep Microsoft bluetooth mouses that I use as this one won't work; For the short time I was able to use it it was not worth the money

Great mouse. Well worth the money

Ease of use; Great quality

None

yep its a Microsoft arc bluetooth mouse, but although its described as black on JL website, the mouse i received was grey.

It's a stylish present for the geek that has everything, but it's not the most comfortable mouse we've used.
