Is Microsoft's folding mouse genius or a gimmick?
Bluetrack works on almost any surface, Compact design
Uncomfortable after a while, Expensive compared to alternatives, Folding ability isn't all that useful
Expert review by : Neil Mohr (techradar.com)
Style over substance?
Stunning design ; Highly responsive
Not rock-solid stable ; High price

Any consumer tech company worth its salt knows that it's all about touch-operation nowadays and that's why Apple unveiled its Magic Trackpad back in the summer of 2010 and Microsoft announced its Arc Touch Mouse not long afterwards, following a series...
Compact, collapsible design, easy to use, fast to setup, compact USB device
Temperamental scrolling, slightly pricey, no side-buttons for thumb
Overall, the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse is a great product, and the bendy design has enough quirkiness to keep jaded gadgets fans happy while also offering the tangible benefits of a compact, portable device. Unsurprinsly, it's not as good as a...

Like the Apple Magic Mouse, Microsoft has added touch sensitivity to this mouse - and more besides, including haptic vibration feedback and a curiously arched construction that can really turn this mouse on.
Portable, practical, good at its job and more desirable than a PC peripheral has any right to be, Microsoft’s Arc Touch wireless mouse is a superb wireless mouse. Yes, it’s expensive - not to mention a little unconventional for some tastes. But we...

If we don't get this out of the way from the off, then it's going to be the proverbial elephant in the room. The Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse is a notebook mouse. And it costs £70. ...
A quality mouse, with a price tag to match. It's a shameless luxury, though - and there's no way of getting away from that.

An innovative design let down by stiff button responses
Expert review by : electricpig (electricpig.co.uk)
Like the Magic Mouse, this is slightly more attractive than practical
Looks slick, portable
"Touch" scroll wheel has horrible feel

High-accuracy tracking, works on almost any surface
Expensive
Expert review by : William Harrel (digitaltrends.com)
Ultra-thin, light, and compact ; About half an inch thick when powered off ; Easy to pair and use ; Customizable buttons and scroll strip ; Three-year warranty
Not quite as comfortable as most standard mice ; Tapping scroll strip behavior finicky ; No horizontal scrolling
Microsoft’s Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse is light, compact, and stylish, and when powered down (un-arced), it can slip neatly into your pocket. It’s reasonably comfortable to use for so small of a device, and the company’s three-year warranty allows you...
