Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Pros: Sleek design, ability to flatten for travel, and plug and play Bluetooth compatibility with Windows. Con: scrolling with no physical wheel or feedback takes some getting used to

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

I travel pretty regularly as a part of my job and do my best to limit how much I bring with me; especially as space comes at a premium when traveling with a suit or 2. I have big hands and can't use the small travel mouses and I really disliked putting up with the bulkiness of normal sized mouses; enter the Surface Mouse! This thing is so easy to travel with, and I haven't had any lag issues with it so far. In addition, the fact that it uses Bluetooth and doesn't take up the 1 USB port I have is another giant plus. I can relate to some of the complaints regarding right clicks requiring you take your pointer finger off the mouse, but all it takes is a slight adjustment period. However, I find that the benefits of having a mouse that acts as a track pad, while also functioning as a normal mouse, far make up for this slight inconvenience. Personally, my only complaint is the scrolling; I find that the mouse will often zip past the option I want to choose when trying to use a drop down menu. I also have had some issues when playing games, such as Civilization, as the mouse will pick up involuntary movements of my fingers and take me flying across the map when I didn't intend it. Overall, this is a solid mouse that does what I need it to do. I feel that the benefits far outweigh the minor detractors. I would highly recommend this to anyone who travels a lot and is looking to pack light without sacrificing comfort or performance.

The Surface Arc is easy to use, just turn it on and the Microsoft Surface connects to the mouse. The light gray color looks good with everything.

It works amazingly. At first it looked a little strange but in the end I'm really enjoying it.

Love this mouse! It’s very cool feels great in hand great innovation! Only wish it came in more color options- there was only purple or black available.

It's super simple to connect and can use on most any surface. I love that you bend it to turn it on and straighten it out to turn it off. I can easily switch between using it with my PC or Mac. It is thin, sleek and takes up very little space. It lives in my backpack and goes everywhere I go. I don't have a single complaint.

I love everything about this mouse. It's thin, lightweight, and it even folds flat and slips in my computer case perfectly! It does everything I want it to do

Functional and easy to carry in a backpack, etc. Takes a bit of getting used to in terms of the fit in your hand. I have not had any problems with response once you get the settings adjusted to your personal touch.

This mouse is so user friendly with it curved feel. I really like how this mouse is easy move my curser. I highly recommend this product.

I really like this mouse for 2 reason. 1. Bluetooth connection. Makes it so easy to work on my laptop without having to use a USB port. 2. Mobility. The mouse turns off when you lay it flat. Genius. Once it is flat, it is perfect for travel. I usually carry my 14" laptop in a small sleeve or briefcase. No problem for a mouse that lays flat. Highly recommended.

This is a sleek highly sentive mouse that makes a statement. Battery life is insanely long. Fins comfortably in your palm while in use. Overall a beautifully crafted mouse.

It's not a cheap mouse by any means but will worth the money. Love how it snaps flat and I literally can put it in my pocket on the go. Great, innovative product by Microsoft.

Interesting product. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is I don’t have much experience using it on a daily basis. I bought it to use when the trackpad on my Surface Pro wasn’t practical to use. Turns out the trackpad is practical most of the time. Anyway, the Arc Mouse is a fine enough mouse once you’ve figured out how to hold it. I imagine it will be slightly different for everyone. I like how it shuts off the Bluetooth when you straighten out the mouse, and I like how portable it is.

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

It's ok. I bought it because I got the violet windows laptop and I thought it would pair well. I don't love it, I guess the best part is that it is easy to carry and fits into a laptop sleeve that has the compartments for extras. I don't find it as comfortable as other "traditional" mouses. I will need the mouse pad with wrist foam for this arc mouse.

This mouse is super lightweight and convenient, and fits perfectly in the exterior pocket of any of my laptop cases without any additional bulk. I have had one of these for about 3 years (and have only had to replace the batteries once in that time) and just recently bough a second one so that would not have to constantly resync it back and forth between my two computers.

For what the Arc Mouse is, it's great! As a relatively inexpensive collapsing mouse, it is a fantastic choice. Folded flat, it can easily fit in almost any pocket of a backpack and can slip between other items. It's comfortable, decently responsive, and I've yet to have to change the battery. Its touch-based two finger scroll capability fills in well for the lack of a scroll wheel. I would not recommend this mouse for gaming, or any particularly heavy use. It lacks the ability to register both a right and left mouse click at the same time, and the button pressure isn't as light as many people would like for specific applications. Beyond that, it's great for on-the-go work!

Love the ease of this mouse. I switched a few years back and will never go back to the old style mouse. The flexibility of collapsing the mouse to flat, is great for traveling ,and the compact size
