Microsoft Arc Mouse

This is my third Microsoft Arc Mouse in about six years (one broke and I lost another), and I keep coming back to it because it’s just that good. I love that it folds flat, which makes it incredibly easy to throw into a bag for work or travel. It connected automatically via Bluetooth from day one with my laptop and has worked consistently without any issues. Battery life is excellent, and I rarely think about it. The only downside is that it uses AAA batteries — I wish there were a rechargeable option — but that hasn’t been enough to stop me from repurchasing. Overall, this is a sleek, dependable mouse that’s perfect if you travel or want something compact without sacrificing performance.

Updated This unit is definitely an expensive mouse for its general appearance. First impressions are excellent. The feel is nice and acceptable for casual browsing and computer usage. I couldn’t use this device as a gaming mouse as it has a completely different feel than a normal mouse. It connects seamlessly to my surface laptop and love how folding it flat will turn the unit off. This Saves battery and makes it extremely compact for storage. This device is small, I would estimate it to be about 3/4 the size of my galaxy note 8 in the compact position. Having this device arched makes the device roughly half its length. Overall this is a great device but like the caption says, its pricey. I hope to give updates to see if its durability and longevity is worth its price tag. Update 8/2/20 This unit is an excellent and stylish addition to my surface computer. I have absolutely no complaints about this device. That being said I will add that mine did break due to owner neglect. I had dropped this device causing part of the click pad to break apart. This unit is still functional which is amazing and with minimal effort I was able to get it back together where it does not appear damaged. I am very pleased with the construction and durability of this unit. Even though mine has become damaged, it was due my own neglect. I plan on purchasing another Surface laptop here shortly where I intend to purchase this same device to accompany it.

I had a Surface Arc mouse for a couple years and loved it. I am an Apple guy through and through but I despise their Magic Mouse so my work was giving out Surface Arcs so I decided to try one and the ergonomics, the silicon feel, the ability to flatten it, “chef’s kiss”. It is ultra responsive! Never had any problems pairing with any device (I.e., MacBook Air/Steam Deck/ etc), so when I lost it somehow, I knew I needed another one. $100 dollars is a lot for a mouse but I believe this one is absolutely worth it! By the way, Microsoft saying it only works on Windows is not true. This sleek black one paired seamlessly with all my devices. Highly recommended! Once you try it, you will never want another type of mouse! Oh, it doubles as a fidget! Batteries last forever too (two AAA)!

The Microsoft Arc Mouse is not your ordinary mouse; it's a unique and stylish accessory that I've come to appreciate. Although it takes a bit of time to adjust to its unconventional design, once you do, it proves to be an excellent mouse. The absence of wires and the compact, foldable design make it incredibly convenient for on-the-go use. I can even carry it in my pocket without any hassle. One of its standout features is the impressive battery life. I've been using it for months, and the battery level is still around 70%. Not only does it offer longevity, but it also delivers a satisfying and precise performance. The Bluetooth connection is reliable, and the mouse glides effortlessly across the screen. It's worth noting that the Microsoft Arc Mouse doesn't support left and right-clicking simultaneously. However, for everyday tasks, browsing, and office work, this mouse is perfect. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, and the sleek aesthetics perfectly complement my Surface computer. If you value a good design and portability, this mouse is a fantastic choice.

I mainly use this mouse as a mobile mouse when working remote, its light, comfortable and thin and the battery lasts months. When I do work in the field, I do schedule to have a lighter data entry work load than I would in the office or from home. I have this one pictured with my old Surface Arc Mouse and my main mouse, the MX Master 3. My review is from the point of view of comparing my old Surface Arc mouse to this and how I use this as my main secondary mouse. The size is comparable to the original arc mouse design but is a wider towards the palm to give us a symmetrical shape in contrast to the narrowing of the old mouse, this lets more of your palm rest on the mouse. The two biggest changes for me with the newer mouse, the haptic feedback while scrolling and separate R/L mouse buttons have been replaced by one button that sense which finger touches first. I'm a fan of haptic feedback so it's just a plus feature for me that i'd like to have but not a deal breaker. I have used a Magic Mouse previous to the Arc mouse so I'm familiar with the sensitivity of a single touch mouse button, so personally I'm used to it, but it is a slight learning curve and mild annoyance. The new model does have horizontal scrolling which is useful with my application so its a feature add for me. I did not consider missing features like back buttons, programmable buttons, etc which can be found on larger more feature rich mice like the MX Anywhere series, I would not consider those applicable for my use. Final take. It's a basic functional mouse that looks cool. If you need a light weight portable mouse for light use while in the field, at school, or in the home to use with a notebook/tablet, this is the one. There really isn't a decent competitor with price and form factor. Pros -Design -Light, highly portable -Horizontal scrolling -6 month battery life Cons -lacks features for "power" users -missing haptic feedback (personal pref) -missing separate R/L buttons from pervious generation

It’s such a pretty color I love the poppy red! It came with two triple a batteries and I use the mouse daily for school and work and it’s still at 98%. It fits in my hand fairly easily and I have normal size hands. The bottom portion that curls up when in use is a soft velvety material it’s plastic so cleans off easily. It was very easy to connect to my surface pro. It seamlessly flows and is highly responsive. The only thing that I had kind of an adjustment period to was the placement of the left and right clicks. Aside from that I love this mouse, it’s compact especially folded down it fits in a small pocket with ease.

This is my third arc mouse - had the previous iteration in usb and Bluetooth. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to using a “standard” style mouse again. Well, at least not as long as Microsoft is making the arc. The new iteration is great. Touch scrolling works as expected and is smooth. The best part? No more fake scrolling click noise that you can’t turn off, like in the first gen arc. It’s sleek, ultraportable and takes up next to no space in my backpack. Battery life is excellent in my experience. I rarely leave it in the “straightened” off position and get months of use out of it before having to change batteries. Works without issue on both my windows pc for work and Mac at home. I can see where this design may not work for everyone - it took a little getting used to the original arc when I first got it - but for me it’s perfect. I mean really, this is the kind of design one would expect from Apple. Microsoft really knocked it out of the park with this mouse, in my opinion, and I’m surprised they aren’t more popular.

The Microsoft Arc Mouse is certainly different from the average mouse. It can be best described as a laptop trackpad but with the cursor controlled by movement of the device. It is personally my favorite mouse and definitely worth the price for anyone looking for a portable device of this type. Pros: * Beautiful design * The arc feature makes it very portable * Light weight adds to portability * Works well even after significant use * Smooth scrolling * Long battery life * Wireless connectivity works well * Easy to setup and use Cons * No native middle click (this feature can be added using Microsoft software) * You cannot press multiple buttons at the same time (you can't press left click while holding down right click as you may do in some games, for example) * There is no mouse wheel and the friction from rubbing the top of the mouse (which engages the scrolling feature) can irritate the fingers with high usage * Batteries are not rechargeable

Product of optimum quality.

O mouse é bom, as vezes tenho problema com o bluethoot, porem, dos periféricos conectados, o mouse raramente não funciona, é bem estável. Comprei em 30/03/2022 e só hoje 18/07/2022 esta me dando aviso de 5% de pilha, ou seja dura uns 4 meses (uso pra trabalho das 8~18h, de segunda a sexta). Tive um pequeno desconforto no começo pois o dedinho fica voando na lateral do mouse, que é bem diferente dos padrões, com o tempo acostuma, nada dramático. Não tenho do que reclamar, sempre quis esse mouse e não me arrependi de comprar. Vendedor enviou super rápido, comprei dia 29 e dia 30 já tinha chego; O mouse é bonito e chamou a atenção da empresa inteira quando eu adquiri. Ele "dobra", posição reta fica desligado e economiza pilha, a posição curvada esta ligado e pronto pra uso. Apesar de ter só 1 botão, ele cumpre as funções clicando pelo lado direito/esquerdo, o scroll é touch e funciona em qualquer parte dos botões, tanto na vertical como na horizontal, só sinto falta do botão de scroll mesmo pelas suas funções, mas ta bão. Demorei pra escrever a revisão pois queria um tempo de testes.

Ensures a seamless connection, works on normal surfaces without any pad, cells are replaceable with seemingly good life, really a very good thing to have.

高額ですが一番のお気に入り。3台目の購入です。
