This is an excellent mouse. It's really high tech looking and feeling. It uses 2 AAA batteries for power but when you flatten the mouse, it turns off. A quick snap and the mouse ARChes and give you a great feeling as you use it. The buttons were responsive and the center button allows scrolling (although it's a bit tricky to get used to using the center scroll function). However, beware that it requires Bluetooth 4.0 to operate and at least Windows 8.1 if you want to use it like any other mouse. I bought one of these for a friend who just purchased a Windows Surface PRO 4 tablet but was using a USB ARC mouse. That's a problem - there's only one USB port on the Surface PRO 4 and he was tying it up with a mouse. So I ordered him a Bluetooth version of the mouse he loved. To make sure it worked before I gave it to him, I installed it on my Lenovo Thinkpad T430s running Windows 7-64 bit. The mouse loaded up and worked beautifully. I gave him the mouse and he's been super satisfied with it ever since. My son's birthday was fast approaching and he was using a USB mouse on his Lenovo Thinkpad T420s laptop so I ordered him one of these sleek mouses. When it arrived, I once again installed it onto my Lenovo Thinkpad T430s and it worked great, so I gave it to him for his birthday. He tried and tried to install it but it wouldn't work. After a puzzling and extended time trying to figure this out we discovered that this is a Bluetooth Low-Energy mouse and is not compatible with my son's T420s because the mouse requires Bluetooth 4.0 and the T420s is only a Bluetooth 3.0 compatible ... and by the way, you can't install the Bluetooth 4.0 drivers and make it 4.0. All was not lost though because I can use it with my Lenovo T430s, but not so fast. There's still something wrong. I can install the mouse and use it .... until I let a period of time go by without moving the mouse - then it is non-responsive and my laptop doesn't "see it" any longer. I made every configuration change I could to get it to not fall asleep, but nothing worked. So, it's a great mouse - a fantastic mouse - IF you have the right computer. So beware. If you have an older computer, you may want to consider another Bluetooth mouse.Read full review

I THOUGHT this was an "Updated" model of thew MS ARC Mouse that I already have for use with my MS Surface Pro 7 ... It IS NOT! This model comes with a USB dongle that MUST be used in order for the mouse to connect to your device! This means that you MUST USE a USB port in order to connect! The original MS ARC mouse connect W/O a USB dongle allowing you to SAVE that PRECIOUS USB port for use with something else! For this reason ... the price was NOT the "Bargain" that I thought it was! This is Not a Bad product just not as functional as the original ARC Mouse!

I had eyed these Microsoft Arcs for quite some time. I came across a great deal for one here on ebay and was really looking forward to receiving and using it. Fit and finish is excellent, on/off arc function works great and is very convenient, and usb dongle storage magnet is ingenious. The major disappointment of this device is its erratic tracking. Across multiple surfaces - it sucks on all of them. I was using it with a Dell XPS 15 and after just 2 days, I boxed the mouse back up and went back to just using the trackpad.

had wanted one - but not for 60 bucks.. great for travel or portability - accurate and functions correctly.. the center touch pads may be too sensitive.. slightly grippy vs slick and has some weight vs airy.. one slight drawback - med-large hands may not find this as comfortable for extended long period use as it's slightly smaller than the curve of the inside of your hand - not a big thing - but noting it.. if you travel - get it... if your into sleek - get it... if your a gamer - pass - it's not for you.. equal or better than small logitech mice.. far better than apple's version.. and has bluetooth or usb options - i prefer usb.. so .. spend some cash - the economy needs everyone to spend a bit - get out - and support the local businesses.. and leave these rioters in jail..

If you need speed and comfort for long days at work, look somewhere else. It is perfectly designed to travel, folding flat and yes, even with a little magnet to hold the USB key. Uncurl the mouse and it turns itself off. Great industrial design, uniquely creative, something rare in the bland world of computing. In other words, a keeper.
