It takes a bit to get use to Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse and is not fullyfledged touch offering.
Bluetrack works on almost any surface, Compact design
Uncomfortable after a while, Expensive compared to alternatives, Folding ability isn't all that useful
The Arc Touch isn't a terrible effort from Microsoft, but we're not convinced that it's a necessary one. It's more expensive and less comfortable to use than its alternatives and though the folding mechanism is clever, it doesn't really offer a tangible b...
how elevated the Arc Touch Mouse is, and it's comfortable to grip from on top with your fingers running underneathWe can’t fault the Microsoft Arc Touch mouse for its performance. It glides easily across surfaces, even grippy wooden tables, despite only touching at two points, and doesn’t collapse in on itself with the pressure of day to day use. And the BlueTrack laser tech means it works on ju
"Touch" scroll wheel has horrible feel
Like the Magic Mouse, this is slightly more attractive than practical...
Just 1.5 cm tall when laid flat / Nice design and finish, Plug & play with Windows, Linux and Mac, Tiny USB adapter is so small you can plug it in and forget it's there, BlueTrack sensor handles fast movement well, Flattening the mouse automatically cuts off the power
Sliders a bit to sticky, Virtual scroll wheel is good quality but just not accurate enough, Clicking feels too short and too hard, No side buttons, Nowhere to rest the thumb
The Arc Touch Mouse isn't without its faults, but its slim, folding design is really quite impressive and it'll be handy for users who are often on the move....
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 rec...
Unique flexible design, Great for frequent travelers, Ergonomically designed, BlueTrack technology ensures slick usage on any surface, Touch based scrip for scrolling
Pricey – costs around $55 (or Rs 3425), Takes time to get used to, Dependency on USB transceiver, Dirt Magnet
Cool shape and design; accurate touch-sensitive scroll wheel; BluTrack sensor works on most surfaces.
Expensive; not suited for gaming and some tasks.
The Microsoft Arc Touch mouse is without a doubt a very cool looking and practical wireless mouse. We like the collapsible design and how the mouse automatically powers up when unflattened and vice versa. Plus, the mouse's BlueTrack sensor allows to m...
Looks great, Smart design choices (e.g. automatic on/off, RF stub magnetic holder, etc.), Very ergonomic
Relatively small swiping area, Price
Microsoft's Arc Touch Mouse is definitely one of their better products. Other than its steep price tag and the difficulty of using the aluminum strip, this mouse is truly a winner. Even Apple die hards will appreciate the Arc Touch's aesthetics while enjo...
