  • Pretty design and incredibly compact size. Comes with a travel pouch!
  • Very uncomfortable shape. Odd sensor placement makes cursor control tricky.

  • Attractive design, Good performance, Very portable
  • Awkward side button, A bit pricey
  • The Microsoft Arc is a versatile pointing device for both desktop and mobile use. With only one side button that’s hard to access, and no functions beyond those available for all Microsoft mice, it might not be worth the $59.95 price tag for some. B...

  • Abstract:  While most people think of Microsoft’s mice being used for gaming, the company also offers up a nice range of mice for the casual computer user. As an attendee at Mobius this year I was given a Microsoft Arc Mouse. While mice don’t tend to excite me, ...

  • Light; convenient folding body for travel; good response from buttons and wheel; long operational range; comfortable matte finish; tiny receiver; comes in red; ambidextrous.
  • May be a little small or light for some hands; slight right-handed orientation for side button to work with thumb.
  • I am impressed with the Arc Mouse, and am very fond of its look and feel and convenience. It has enough unique features to recommend it. And because it’s so sturdy and stable, you can use it as a desktop mouse, too. ...

  • Sleek and stylish design, Folding, collapsible design turns mouse on/off, Includes carrying pouch
  • Uncomfortable to use after prolonged use, Awkward and hard to reach side button
  • Microsoft’s Arc Mouse is a classic example of form over functionality…and practicality. The Arc Mouse is a really nice looking device but beyond it’s candy coated outer shell, it functions like any other two-button wireless mouse, ...

  • Folding design, Long battery life, Good wireless range
  • Sensitivity may be too low for some users, Lag is a factor with small movements
  • The Microsoft Arc mouse offers a cool design that is also very functional. It could use more sensitivity and better accuracy but overall the Microsoft Arc is a very good notebook mouse. ...

  • Innovative, functional design, Very comfortable shape, Suitable for users with repetitive stress injuries, Compact USB dongle, Flawless glossy paint finish with rubberized sides and underside, Long purported battery life, Elegant carry case included, Mouse turns off when in folded position, Great range (up to 30 ft.)
  • Can't track on a glass desk, Lack of heft takes some getting used to, Left side button next to impossible to press, Scroll wheel only scrolls vertically and makes cheap sounds, Mouse not rechargeable...
  • Microsoft's Arc Mouse brings a unique folding design to the portable mouse combining at once style and portability. Despite a few usability and functional issues, the fundamental concept is well executed and well worth the price of admission. Pros & Co...

  • Cool and creative design; snap-in mini receiver adds to portability; laser sensor.
  • Clunky software affects scrolling.
  • This is by far the most travel-friendly mouse you can buy, but its performance is a step behind some of todays current crop of notebook mice. Using the Arc Mouse...
