Microsoft has been an innovative hardware manufacturer for over 35 years and lately the company has focused on both functionality and design. The Arc Mouse is one of the remarkable design innovations that will fit the style of many design oriented consumers while meeting the performance needs of...

Many people may subscribe to the idea of "a keyboard is a keyboard is a keyboard". People don't just sit in front of a desk and use their computers anymore. Many people have their PCs connected to their televisions for home theater use, or set up in their kitchen, or hidden within some inconspicuous...

Small and lightweight; Very attractive design; Wireless with mini-USB adapter that easily stores under keyboard; Battery life indicator; Dead simple to set up and use; Great wireless robustness

Slightly lacking HTPC keys; but it is not necessarily designed to be one; Not very comfortable after using for an extended period of time

This thing is so good looking that people have come and asked me where they can buy this from and its performance easily equals its looks. Note: This Review was made by Play.com customer: RaghaRamani on Rakuten's Play.com on the date shown.

As an attendee at Mobius this year I was given a Microsoft Arc Mouse. While mice don't tend to excite me, this one not only piqued my interest, but has become my every day mouse when using my MacBook with my desktop configuration.

For those who might be suspicious that this is just a simple design gimmick with a noticeably higher original price tag, take it from an incredibly cynical/picky consumer that this is definitely worth trying out as it surprises with its versatility.

Obvious selling points surprisingly held true - the arced shape relieves a lot of strain I used to put on my hand w/ older mice / keyboard trackpoints; and super high portability is great for quickly folding; stowing in the included suede pouch; and throwing in your bag/backpacks front pocket; sans...

- If you have a heavier paw like me; you likely cant make the highest point of the arc the focal point of your hand weight though almost w/out triggering an unintended button click - They could have afforded to sacrifice some of the visual design/appeal by expanding the outer edges of the click...

The TrustedReviews office is generally awash with new, cool and exciting technology, and that tends to desensitise the team somewhat. It therefore takes something a little special to get my pulse racing, and when I do get excited about a new product I definitely don't expect it to be a keyboard!

I use this for my netbook that I travel around with. Works perfect for it!!! Folds up into a nice tiny package for easy transport in my little netbook case. The travel bag the mouse comes with also protects it from scratches and whatnot.

1; Very sleek design 2; fold up to make it tiny for easy transport 3; Has a thumb button that acts a "back" button; 4; little USB receiver goes under the mouse for storage which is held in place by a magnet; 5; Feels very good on my hand when using it; 6.

1; The thumb button is very stiff; Might be where it is brand new though; No point in deducting an Egg for something like that

I would recommend it to those who feel they can live with the few shortcomings of this device as described and want great quality for each dollar spent.

Precision: Smooth and natural; laser sensor Price: Extremely cheap => High value

No free wheel spin No forward button May not suit everybody

great value, fantastic product none yet although not the ideal alternative if you program on gaming, its far from the worst. ive owned two sidewinder gaming mice and a single razer gaming mouse, this solution is surprisingly responsive and correct even when compared to the other mice ive owned.

So I like most people loved this product upon relieving and using it. But less than a year after purchase it just dies... First you think its the batteries, after all you do change those bad boys often! but then you realize that the interval between changes are growing closer and closer.
