Love how a simple snap turns the mouse on and off. Glides easily on any surface and is super light weight. Great design. Love it! Best mouse I have ever used.

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.

A good ultra portable mouse. Easy to pack because it extends flat for travel but snaps to a curve for use that's surprisingly comfortable. has a really cool feature that turns off the mouse when flat in travel mode and automatically turns on when snapped into its curve. Uses one AAA battery and connects via Bluetooth so no need to keep track of a USB adapter. was definitely worth it for the last 3 trips since i bought it.

I have used a Microsoft Arc mouse for many years. My old one was still working well but from heavy use had developed grooves where my finger slid on the surface, so I purchased a new one. The batteries last a very long time and the mouse is powered up when in the arced position - when flat it’s unpowered and easy to store for transport. Using finger contact pressure this mouse provides two buttons and a vertical scroll feature.

I have used a lot of different mice over my life. This is one of the best ones. It fits the hand well; it has an interesting design (when you lay it flat, it turns off; when you pinch it to get the mouse shape, it turns on); it is a snap to pair on a Windows machine. It also works well with Surface pro x. What else can you ask for (as long as you remember that this is a work mouse, not a gaming mouse - if you want a gaming mouse, then get a razer).

I'm a die-hard non-Mac user, but for a short work assignment I was forced to use a Mac, which was an awful experience, EXCEPT for my first experience using Apple's Magic Mouse, which was an incredible mouse. When I returned to using a PC, I tried my Apple Magic Mouse, but even with compatibility drivers and software, it didn't function the same, so I started looking around for a PC-comparable device and found the Microsoft Surface Arc. Oh my gosh, do I love this thing! I use one at home, and I have a travel one in my computer bag as well (even though I could just toss my home one in the computer bag I guess).

Probably the best travel mouse out there. Connects instantly when opened, long battery life and not too bad on the ergonomics either. Better than most regular mouses on the market.

This mouse has turned so many heads and I’ve had at least 7 people ask me about it. I like the snap on snap off feature of it and the battery life is immaculate!! One thing that may bother some is the precision of the right and left click since they are connected, but you get used to it. It is small and lightweight so it’s very conveniently portable. Connection to the laptop is seamless and I’ve had zero problems with it so far!

I often have to grab my laptop and mouse for meetings out of the office. My normal mouse is quite bulky in a jacket pocket or laptop bag. I wanted something I could keep in my laptop bag all the time that was flat and easily transportable. I saw a coworker used one of these, so I decided to try it. It's wireless and connects seamlessly when I bend it. Flattening it turns it off to save battery life. Very pleased with it.

I loved this mouse for it's foldable design. Great for traveling, always worked when activated, worked well on most surfaces. My only issue was the scrolling. Without a wheel it relied on touch and honestly I found it to be inconsistent. Ultimately I ended up going with the Surface mobile mouse since it has a low profile and a scrolling wheel. If Microsoft figures out the wheeless scrolling the Arc mouse would be a home run.

Fairly easy integration with the Surface Pro. I find it mostly easy to use. I don't use a mousepad so in some cases it doesn't flow as nicely as I'd like on some surfaces that other mice do better on. As with all Surface accessories it is overpriced. The best feature to me is the fold flat for off and arc for on. When flat/off it is the lowest profile mouse I know of which is great for transporting it. It also has a nice form factor so it looks stylish if that's important to you.

Optimus Prime Mouse of the Century

Love it. Never considered it due to price and you can get the other surface mouse that has direct connect Bluetooth (no dongle) but does not transform like Optimus Prime. I saw my dad had an older version and saw/understood the advantages of the Optimus Prime option...which is collapsing, in a sense, to become so slime and compact that it takes up minimal room in my bags and fits in all my bags in multiple different locations/pockets that a regular, even slim-“ish”, style mouse would not or would get damage possibly.
If you are looking for an on the go mouse for your surface or any other compatible devices with this mouse, then I highly recommend purchasing even with the additional cost.
If you are looking for a mouse that won’t leave your desk, then personal decision will have to be used for decision making...still buy it, as you never know when you’ll need to bug out and you won’t have an Optimus Prime Transforming mouse rather a bulky, inconvenient, pain in the rear to pack and go mouse.

I bought this mouse after purchasing a Microsoft Surface Pro 7. I love this mouse it is super light weight and is sleek. Easy to turn on and off. I haven’t had any issues with it at all. Definitely would recommend this device, I didn’t think I would need but makes the tasks much quicker to get done. Worth the money.
