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.

I've used MS Arc Touch for years. After fixing the USB connector multiple times, it finally broke beyond my ability to repair it. The devices are locked to a single USB, so you can't (to my knowledge) order a replacement, but you have to get a new set. Is this planned obsolescence or is there some engineering reason to make it like this? IDK but Logitech seems to be able to make modular devices. Are they smarter than Microsoft?

First time I saw this was at MicroCenter where they had a computer hooked up with this mouse in the demo room. I tinkered with it a few minutes and found out it's a very good mouse to use. This is built by Microsoft, so quality is all there. When the mouse functions as I move it around, clicking buttons, all the commands and movements are as accurate as can be in realtime. I did have a few old logitech mice that I had to get rid of because after some usage, there were delays in cursor movement response no matter how many new batteries I replace. The best thing about this mouse is my laptop bag is very slip so having something flat to store in my bag is essential. This mouse does the trick very well. When I don't need to use the mouse, I simply undo the arch and it can sit in my bag flat with no issues. All of my old mice would create this awkward extrusion on the closure flap in the laptop bag. Not the Microsoft Arc. It's been about a week now and I highly recommend this mouse to anyone. In fact, I'll be looking for an opportunity to buy a spare to give to my wife for her Xmas present.Read full review

The Microsoft Curve conforms to my hand, and the tracking is awesome. I have wanted one of these for a while now and had the opportunity to purchase at a budget friendly price. I do a lot of browsing and am enjoying the ease of use this mouse allows. Very light and responsive. I also like the fact that it is easy to pack in my back pack and I can turn it off and save battery life by just unfolding it flat. As you can tell, I really like this mouse and would recommend it for power browsers.

I really like this mouse, so much that I've bought two of them. It flattens for easy storage, has a magnet so you don't lose the USB receiver, and looks really sleek. It does seem to have a few issues with USB 3.0 ports (cursor moving jerkily around the screen, responding sluggishly) so I would definitely recommend plugging it into a USB 2.0 port. The design took a little to get used to but it feels great after a few days. It's a little pricey but I would definitely recommend this mouse for use with a laptop.

I've been using the Microsoft arc mouse for a year. I liked it so much that after I dropped my original one (fixed it myself), then dropped again (it survived), I purchased another of the same model without hesitation. I have just purchased a Bluetooth version and find the absence of the USB avantageous because my Ultrabook only has 2 USB ports. This new Bluetooth is proving to be one of my all time favourites -- over a standard, trackball (multiple versions) and NOW Arc Touch is #1 for me.
