  • 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...

  • Abstract:  The Microsoft Arch Touch Mouse is actually a successor to Microsoft's Arc Mouse , which was a pretty cool device on its own. The older Arc Mouse could be folded in half for travel, and featured a magnet that kept its small USB dongle from getting lost. We...

  • El diseño que combina tecnología y te permite aplanarlo. La tira táctil para hacer scroll y navegar cómodamente. La duración de la batería
  • Puede no acomodarte para trabajar por un tiempo prolongado. El precio
  • Si tienes una laptop y neceistas llevarla de un lugar a otro para trabajar o hacer presentaciones, este ratón te puede funcionar muy bien. Sin duda, existen dispositivos más económicos y con acabados atractivos, pero este resalta por su diseño orginal....

  • A pesar de lo genial que se ve el mouse, es imposible no mencionar sus limitaciones. Para empezar, me hubiese gustado mucho ver más que solo 3 botones. Quizás uno para el pulgar, o añadir dos, como hace el MX Nano de Logitech, que nos sirven para movernos...

  • Plate et donc facile à transporter, Fonctionnement simple, il suffit de la plier pour l'allumer, Belle qualité de fabrication dans l'ensemble, Bluetooth, pas besoin de récepteur USB, Bonne reconnaissance des surfaces, La molette sensitive, une bonne idée,
  • Légère latence qui nuit à la précision du pointeur, Pas de boutons latéraux sur les tranches, Prise en main qui peut déplaire, Molette tactile peu précise lors des mouvements lents, Fonctionne avec 2 piles et non sur batterie (plus lourd, plus encombrant)
  • Facile à transporter et à utiliser, l'Arc Touch Bluetooth est une souris séduisante et innovante. Elle pèche hélas sur plusieurs points qui la rendent décevante à l'usage, sans toutefois en faire une mauvaise souris...

  • Pour ceux qui ne veulent pas de ces microsouris pour leurs portables feront bien de regarder sérieusement la Microsoft Arc Touch, car elle remplit ces fonctions à merveille. Il faudrait par contre vous s’assurer que double-taper une région bien précise...

  • Design ingénieux, Prise en main agréable, Pilotes logiciels assez complets
  • Pas de Bluetooth, Fonctionnalités limitées (boutons, tactile), Retour haptique trop bruyant
  • L'ARC Touch Mouse nous plongeait dans le doute lorsque Microsoft la dévoilait, et on reste un peu perplexe devant cette souris. Le design est original et plutôt bien pensé, mais le côté tactile complètement sous-exploité (et bruyant! ). En outre, la souri...
