Microsoft Arc Mouse

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.
Pros:
  • 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...
Cons:
  • - If you have a heavier paw like me

This impressively slim mouse tracks well and snaps flat for easy transport. Highly mobile users will like its design-if not its coating and click buttons.

  • Click buttons too stiff
  • Rubbery coating is a lint magnet
  • No side or thumb buttons
