This mouse is a piece of cake...as long as your computer has bluetooth capabilities. Once your hooked up just bend it to turn it on and flatten it to turn it off. You can even stick it in your pocket if you're going somewhere.

I purchased this mouse on account is that it is a genuine Microsoft product. You're are literally guaranteed it is going to work because their hardware works perfectly with their operating system natively. As soon as you pull the little plastic tab and search for Bluetooth devices, it appears instantly and handshakes seamlessly. I just love that no hassle aspect of it. The mouse goes flat for ease of packing it into your laptop bag. Don't quote me on this, but when it goes flat, I believe it saves battery like the previous iterations of the mouse.

People seem to either love or hate this mouse. I love it. It flattens out to about 2" x 5", or about the size of a small iPhone, except slimmer. You can easily just carry in your pocket, or toss it in whatever bag compartment available. It is durable; I've put it in my back pocket a couple times, accidently sat on it, and no problem (although I wouldn't recommend it as a habit). I actually put some black electric tape over the battery compart for a little extra protection and water (spill) resistance, which does not affect usage at all.
When you want to use it, just pop it up and it literally works on any surface. You can use it on your leg/knee just fine when on flight or other constrained area.
It takes a slightly lighter touch to operate, such as with scrolling. And the right-clicking took me a little getting used to. At MSRP $80, it is definitely still in the "new novelty-overpriced range," which of course is standard these days. I'd expect that to drop soon. But as a traveler, it was still worth it.

Design is sleek and responsive. Bluetooth connectivity is very fast and easy. However, switching from old mouse to this is little hard. Holding mouse is difficult until you get hold of it. Overall works great!

Wasn't sure about this one, but I got it for my girlfriend as a gift. She travels a lot with her laptop, and it folds flat so I thought that would be nice. She loves it. Makes using her laptop on the road much easier and it slips right in the soft case without taking up any space. Took a minute to realize you have to arc it pretty far before it locks into place and turns on.

I'm really excited to have this mouse. It's very compact and infinitely portable. I wish it was more ergonomic, but the concept is fantastic and something I've always wanted. The downside is the software for using the mouse is pretty outdated. There's a lot of missing functionality that I would have loved to have seen from the moment i satarted using it. Primarily, there need to be more gesture options than ones that are currently there. The software for the spouse hasn't been updated in over a decade and it shows. It is limited 2 fingered gestures, which essentially means I can only scroll in four directions. It also means I can't use 3 or 4 finger gestures to control the rest of the Windows 11, which is unfortunate. Hopefully, a software update could add a lot more functionality in usefulness in the future.

This is the first time that I've tried this mouse. I like it because it is Bluetooth and don't to use one of your USB ports. I this a little getting use to. I like how you can flatten it out when not in use and it a plus when traveling and going to meetings. It's a little pricey but I got it on sale.

I have been using the Microsoft Arc mouse for many years. I find it comfortable to use. I have carpal tunnel and type all day, every day in my job. I have no pain in my wrist or thumb by using this mouse. I also am able to carry it easily by simply tossing in my laptop bag. Additionally, the battery lasts forever!

Love this mouse. Honestly I have always preferred a track ball. However, they don't travel well. I decided to give this little mouse a try and I have not been disappointed. Hands down I prefer over a traditional style mouse. I love how it folds out and packs up. I would definitely buy again!

I love that I can travel with this and it doesn’t take any space. I love that when it is collapsed I know it is off. I used to go through many batteries with my old mouse because I would forget to turn it off. Now I just slap it closed in celebration of the end of the day.

I was in the market for a new laptop. While comparison shopping at the Best Buy store in South Philadelphia, I found the Microsoft Surface Laptop. An employee at the store explained the Microsoft product to me. At some point, I learned about the wireless mouse. The mouse is turned on/off by folding and unfolding it. This mouse does not have a separate left and right button. The surface where fingertips rest allows users to navigate with the cursor or navigate up and down a web page by moving your fingertips in the direction you want to go. This mouse sealed the deal with me to purchase a Microsoft laptop.
