Microsoft Arc Mouse

The new Microsoft Arc Mouse may pose some design versus usability issues. It’s unique appearance, one that is built to fold in half may take some time to get used to. But those who have tried it swear on it’s usability. It functions just like any other mouse. It fits into the hand seamlessly, with grip intact.

The fold allows for the mouse to adapt some travel-friendly features because it makes the size so much more easier to store and pack, saving some bag space. The receiver to this mouse is wireless, so there is no worry about cords getting its wear and tear. The mouse doesn’t actually work while folded….this feature is really just for storing purposes.

The mouse also comes with a magnetic cradle at the tail portion, where the USB receiver is found.

The hinge that folds it is made of metal for that added durability.

There is also a battery indicator near the scroll wheel, so that you can be easily alerted when it is time to replace it.

Technical Details:

* Mouse folds to 60% of its fully expanded size
* Micro-transceiver snaps into the bottom of the mouse
* Folding motion turns mouse on/off
* Laser tracking for precision
* 2.4 GHz wireless with up to 30-foot range

Additional Features:

* 2.4 GHz wireless with up to 30-foot range
* Laser tracking
* 4 buttons
* Carrying case included

The Microsoft Arc Mouse is quite a practical buy for under $50 at Amazon or Best Buy or any other major retail computer outlet.
