Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really like the concept of this mouse and I've been interested in it ever since Microsoft debuted the design a while back. It's good if you need something you're only going to use occasionally that doesn't take up too much room in your bag, but it starts to get annoying to use after about 10 or 15 minutes. The design is really cool and Microsoft does some clever things with it like having it turn on and off automatically. When it's folded flat I slide it into one of my backpack pockets and it takes up no noticeable space. The color choices match up to a lot of what's available on the Surface devices too, so it looks great next to them (I'm using mine with a Surface Book 3). The sensor isn't anything remarkable, but works fine. The clicker is a single button and also a touch pad and that does work well as far as detecting left/right clicks and scrolling up and down and horizontally. The issue arises in the ergonomics of it. The design doesn't really give your palm a natural place to rest on it, so I ended up almost clawing it most of the time. At the end of the day it's just not something you would want to use to get stuff done. I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with buying this just for its looks because I still think it's really cool in spite of not actually enjoying using it, but I also think at this price point you have much betters options available.

Great designed product. Comfortable to use in either left or right hand. Battery lasts years.

Very cool design, very easy to setup and use, great feel in the hand.

I love this version.,, Bluetooth connection, ergonomic, space saver. I enjoy using it.

This mouse is as much a fashion accessory as it is a functional piece of tech. The mouse looks even better in person than it does in pictures. The quality of the materials compared to my old MS Sculpt Comfort Mouse are vastly superior and feel really nice to the touch. The profile is lower than the Sculpt which is proving to be a more comfortable design. I also prefer scrolling on the Arc using touch rather than the Sculpt's scroll wheel. I can scroll vertical or horizontal in any direction. Clicking the touchpad on the Arc is easy. When I'm done using the Arc I can flatten it to turn it off and it looks even nicer when resting on the desk. I purchased the Arc to go with my Surface Pro 8. I haven't taken the Arc to the coffee shop yet and probably won't even though it's compact enough to take with me. I'll just use it as my desktop mouse. The only item of note is the clicking sound when you press the Arc's touchpad. It's noticeable. I won't say it's an annoying sound but it is noticeable. If your main priority is to have a silent mouse experience then you may want to look elsewhere. Otherwise, you'll be very pleased with the Arc Mouse. I highly recommend.

I love that it packs flat for travel, that was the main reason for getting this mouse. And it is still a full-size mouse. I find that it moves a little too easily across my desk but overall this is a minor complaint it connects quickly, the Bluetooth and works well with windows without requiring any extra drivers or software.

This mouse works well with Microsoft laptops. Flattens for easy storage. Not having a middle scroll ball takes time to adjust to.

Excellent and super portable mouse, easy to carry around due to flat form factor when not in use

I bought this to use between work and home. So far is has been great as far as functionality. Comfort isn’t as good as others I have use but I love that is compact and easy to carry. It does it’s job well. It work’s similar to a touch pad which is great. The right click can be a bit awkward depending on hand position. Over all a good buy.

I love the mouse and the folding concept. The tracking on any surface is very strong however, i have not tried it on glass. It stops working when not folded. One thing i would mention is that its a bit uncomfortable for my big hands. Its best for medium to small hands.

Simple pair and perform setup. Looks cool and portable form factor. It is much more comfortable to use than the trackpad.

I thought it is just a compact mouse. I really like that you can flat it and turn the mouse off. It is easy to travel with. When it turns on, it connects to my MS Surface Pro 6 immediately. The battery seems to last for awhile. The only downside is that it is pricey. If you are qualified for educator discount, you could save you a few dollars. Particularly, BestBuy offer educator discount. for MS products.

Love the portability of this mouse and the design. Surprisingly ergonomic and easy to use. Took a little to get use to the lack of defined buttons and scroll wheel, but it's great now!

Fantastic little laptop mouse for on the go. I use it for work where i travel alot. Fits great in tight spots. Not to mention its unique design. I have 2 and i have yet to replace the batteries or have any problems. Owned them many years.

This mouse is ultra-portable, sleek and responds accurately on about any surface! Traditional mice wouldn't work on reflective or shiny surfaces but this one does. No moving parts to wear out-just swipe effortlessly with your fingers. Plus, I purchased this with a great open-box deal= winning!!!

Love these mice. Comfortable, useable and easy to transport with my travel laptop.

I bought this mouse when I bought my surface book. I love the way it conforms to my hand. I have arthritis and it is quite comfortable. I like that it folds flat when not being used and easily slips into my pocket or laptop bag without any bulk. I have to admit I also find the look of it very modern and unique and that being said it is an eye catcher as well as very functional. I would purchase it again..

Microsoft Arc Mouse is compact, lays flat when not in use

Set up is EXTREMELY easy. I do like that it turns off when you lay it flat, so when you travel you don't have to take the batteries out. But it feels only OK in the hand. Takes a little getting used to the one large button and making sure you push it on the proper sides. I would not use it as an every day mouse.

My favorite mouse of all times. I had the previous model that needed the Bluetooth dongle. This one has Bluetooth and doesn’t require the dongle. Perfect traveling mouse. Snaps flat and turn off automatically.
