The Microsoft Arc Mouse makes cordless computer peripherals desirable again. This eye catching accessory is a wireless mouse that easily folds up for easy storage. It's got a massive 30-foot range and is available in black and red. It's smooth clean...

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
Folds up smaller for portability. Expands to near full size so your hand doesn't cramp. Ambidextrous. Receiver snaps magnetically to the underside of the mouse for easy transport.
Receiver could be smaller. It doesn't use Microsoft's new BlueTrack technology.
Microsoft's Arc is one of the best mouse concepts we've seen, combining the benefits of portability and a full-sized mouse into the one unit.

Best laptop mouse
Over the years, Microsoft has repeatedly taken risks with its mouse designs -- many of which have paid off, according to reviewers. One unusual -- and successful -- product is the Arc Mouse, a lightweight, portable, wireless mouse that folds to just 60...
Unique, folding design, wireless USB receiver snaps into the bottom for transport
No rechargeable option, some owners complain of reliability issues

Microsoft Arc Mouse Review
Microsoft has been in the business of programming operating systems for decades and in recent years especially also their peripherals have come into light. However, it would be a mistake to say they are new players in the game as they have had years of...

The Microsoft Arc is a mouse for fashionistas. Its unique and stylish form is attractive for users looking to be hip on the go. For people looking for ergonomics for long time use, look elsewhere, a mouse such as the Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000 will...
