Distinct convertible design lets you pack the mouse flat for travel; touch-sensitive scroll tab has vibration feedback and accelerated scrolling features; BlueTrack sensor lets you use the mouse on a variety of surfaces; small USB receiver stays out of th
Expensive, scroll tab occasionally unresponsive, lacks heft compared with standard desktop mice, no thumb-side forward-and-back buttons
Microsoft's new Arc Touch Mouse features a travel-friendly design and some clever technical additions to its touch-sensitive scroll tab. Neither of those features makes it better than a full-size desktop mouse, but the Arc Touch Mouse is different eno...
Clever design; Flat scroll wheel with tactile feedback; Tiny wireless receiver; Works on both Mac and Windows;
Mouse button clickable area is shorter than it seems; Touch controls not very reliable;
The Arc Touch is cleverly and appealingly designed, and with the ability to pack flat, allows your notebook bag to present bump-free silhouette at airport lounges wherever you go. The touch scroll wheel is a nice feature too, and although not quite as...
Microsoft Arc Touch mouse is classy, elegant, and very portable. The surface can be flattened, which makes it even easier to be stored inside a bag. Although the mouse itself is not too comfortable to be used for long (due to its compact size), the Arc...
Packs down flat for easy transport, Good BlueTrack coverage, Small USB receiver
Only two buttons for a mouse at this price is limiting, Scroll wheel feedback is a touch erratic, Doesn't entirely promote a neutral wrist position
Travellers with very limited packing space may appreciate the flat pack style of the Arc Touch. It's an interesting mouse, but that's perhaps not enough to make it a mouse for everyone.
High-accuracy tracking, works on almost any surface
Expensive
Portable, practical, good at its job and more desirable than a PC peripheral has any right to be, Microsoft's Arc Touch is a superb wireless mouse. Yes, it's expensive - not to mention a little unconventional for some tastes. But we reckon well-heeled bus...

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
Only if you're a traveler. If you don't like using a touch pad or poking a tablet screen with your finger, and you need something light and easy to carry around, the Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse should serve you well. It's easy to pair, to use, and you don't...
Abstract: However, when my favourite Logitech gaming mouse died of old age, I went into John Lewis to buy a more appropriate rodent – the official one-button Apple Magic Mouse. Beautiful and smart as it is, I loathed it instantly – too fiddly, too low-slung – and w...
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. ...

Lays flat for easy storage and carrying; responsive touch scroll strip; tracks accurately on most surfaces
Micro receiver can easily be lost; buttons a bit stiff; no side buttons; poor ergonomics; pricey
Microsoft's Arc Touch is certainly an innovative mouse that mobile users will be attracted to, but, with this version at least, form has triumphed over function. Nonetheless, we hope the scroll strip finds its way into Microsoft's more traditional mouse d...
