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.

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!

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!

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 The downside is the software for using the mouse is pretty outdated.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.

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.

This is my 4th or 5th Arc mouse, as I keep one at my office, home office, and briefcase. They last me 3-4 years each and stand up to rugged work conditions, and pack away so compactly and efficiently, yet feels like a "standard" mouse.

This is the best daily driver for anyone who relies on a portable mouse. It turns off when bent flat, and there's a magnet that keeps the mouse in place when walking around with your laptop (depending on the model & magnet placements, i guess).
Anyway, it's an all-around great product. The only downside is that it doesn't support many Mac guestures that some might rely on such as switching desktops, etc.

Always disliked the builtin notebook mouse. Just not response of enough. This is a great alternative that folds flat and goes easily enough in shirt/cargo pants pocket.

This is truly a very nice mouse. There have been some negative reviews regarding the right-button functionality of this mouse since you have to have your left finger off the touchpad for the right click to function, but I've found that once you start using the mouse, it's really not that bad. I recommend you try it out if you can before you buy it, but regardless, it really is a pretty mouse with high quality materials worth the price.
Regarding battery life; I've been using the mouse every day for about four weeks and battery life is down to 84%, so that's around 4% per week, which would set battery life at right around 6 months. get yourself some rechargeable batteries at BestBuy and then battery won't be a problem ever again. which btw. I'm happy that it doesn't have an internal battery, it's just one less thing that could break in the mouse.
Regarding gaming, for a casual player this one has been working great. I don't really play first-person shooters, so I won't be able to tell you how this mouse performs with those games, but I've been playing stuff like league of legends perfectly without any problems.
There are some other great functions of this mouse like the horizontal scrolling, and the fact that it snaps flat for better carrying ability. Also, I recommend you download Microsoft mouse and keyboard center which will allow you to customize sensitivity and button functions.
All in all, if you're looking for a premium mouse good enough for many things, this little one is great
Expensive and limited features but great if you ar

Expensive and limited features but great if you are on the go. Folds flat and stores nicely in a computer bag. Like the original Surface Arc Mouse a little more but this one works almost as well.
