Description

A Unique, Foldable Design

The most striking feature of the Microsoft Arc Mouse is its flexible design. When flat, it’s extremely compact and fits easily into any bag. To turn the mouse on and activate it, simply snap it into its curved shape. This intuitive “snap to turn on” feature makes it an ideal companion for travel and on-the-go use. When the mouse is flattened again, it automatically turns off, which helps extend battery life.

Intuitive Scrolling and Precise Control

Instead of a traditional scroll wheel, the Arc Mouse features a capacitive touch surface. This surface enables not only vertical but also horizontal scrolling with a swipe of your finger. By gently tapping and swiping on the surface, you can effortlessly navigate documents and web pages. Despite its minimalist design, the optical sensor provides precise tracking that is more than sufficient for everyday tasks in the office or at home.

Comfort and Portability Combined

Despite its minimalist construction, the Arc Mouse is surprisingly comfortable in the hand. Its curved shape adapts to the natural hand position and allows for relaxed use. Weighing in at just 82.5 grams and with no cable to worry about, it’s extremely lightweight and portable. The Bluetooth connectivity eliminates the need for a separate receiver and allows for easy pairing with laptops, tablets, or other Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Long Battery Life

The Arc Mouse is powered by two standard AAA batteries, which offer an impressive battery life of up to six months. Thanks to the automatic shut-off when flattened, power consumption is very low. The mouse is available in various stylish colors that perfectly match Surface devices.
