Microsoft Arc Touch

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

Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse

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...

Microsoft Arc Touch review

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, Microsoftâ€™s Arc Touch wireless mouse is a superb wireless mouse. Yes, itâ€™s expensive - not to mention a little unconventional for some tastes. But we...

Microsoft - Arc Touch Mouse

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.

Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth mouse review

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...
