## Description

Review: Clever, portable design and premium build - Simple and very compact design. Unique because it packs away flat and you bend it to form the arc shape before use. I've not had this long enough to comment on how robust the moving joint (and associated electronics) inside the flexible rubber exterior that makes this possible is. However, I think this is a quality product and a lot of attention has probably gone into the design and quality of construction. Pairing was very straightforward and once paired, using it was just a case of bending it into shape to switch it on. The mouse then works just like any other good quality optical mouse but the left and right clicks are housed under a track pad that works flawlessly for horizontal and vertical scrolling. Again, I've not had the mouse long enough to comment on battery life. In any case, it only uses two AAA batteries so it is never going to be expensive to run! This is quite an expensive mouse but it feels like a premium product with a very clever, portable design so I am pleased with my purchase. However, as a premium product, I would have expected some sort of case to have been included, even if it was a simple cloth bag.
Review: Great looking mouse and it saves a USB slot - Lets face it, I bought it because it looked cool. For that it has hit the mark- five stars. On top of that it works really well as a mouse on every surface tried so far. It fits the hand well and has that nice matt feel which hopefully will last. I was worried about resting my finger on the right side of the pad while clicking with the left but it seems smart enough to work that out. The scroll up/down works really well being speed sensitive. The connection by Bluetooth to my Dell XPS 13 was easy and has been very stable so far. Almost everyone who has admired it up has wondered out loud how long the break switch will last but I guess we will know that in a year or two. What would be really nice would be track-pad style multi-finger support for zoom, clear screen etc which it feels like its capable of doing but doesn't. Other than that its a very pleasing travel mouse.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you need a usb dongle or it works directly with the pc ?**
A: That depends on the PC. You need a Bluetooth radio to communicate with the mouse. Some PCs (and laptops) have Bluetooth built in, for those that don't you need it and a USB Bluetooth dongle will provide the facility.

**Q: can you use this flat? or does it need to be "perked up" to switch the power on?**
A: Bend it to switch it on!  It's off when flat, which makes it easy to stow in your bag or pocket.

**Q: Hi i want to know the difference of the price is because of colours or function?**
A: Colour - they all have the same functions.

**Q: This didnt seem to pair with my laptop - it is an asus  windows laptop - does this only work properly with microsoft surface?**
A: Just a thought; you need to press the small button on the underside of the mouse for several seconds to get it in pairing mode.  The blue LED will change to a slow pulsing appearance.  Then get your PC to search for the mouse.  Mine pairs in nothing flat.  Good luck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse – Review
*by M***T on 5 September 2024*

The Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse is an interesting idea, minimalist and sublime – it is what it is – a travel mouse that can be flattened for easy storage/travel, or “arced” to act as a mouse when needed. It’s a nice gimmick, being able to fold the mouse into an arc when used – it also happens to switch the mouse on as well. The out-of-the-box experience is also minimal. All you get in the box is the mouse, some instructions, and the two AAA Batteries it needs. Yes, it needs batteries, which, in the day and age of rechargeability, is something of a letdown. Given Mircosoft are still making the Arc Mouse in 2024, it’s time they innovated and released one with a rechargeable internal battery. That aside, the mouse is comfortable to hold and use, although requires a firm press to get it to click – it might wear in with use and become easier to click in future. The touch-scroll feature works without issue. It’s different from an ordinary wheeled mouse, but not too different. Battery life – is unknown at the moment, I’ve only been using it for a day. But I’ll keep an eye on it. Once the batteries it came with have died, I shall swap them out with a couple of rechargeable ones. The colour is nice, I opted for the Ice Blue colour – but it looks more grey than blue. It tracks well, and set-up was easy, my Surface Laptop picked it up as soon as I switched it on. Overall, 9/10. It loses a point for not being rechargeable, (come on Microsoft, it’s doable!), but aside from that it’s a nice and comfortable mouse.
