Microsoft ‘Arc’ mouse looks portable, yet not too small

arc_mouse_teaser

For all the potshots we (I) occasionally take at Microsoft, I will admit that I think the company makes pretty decent mice and keyboards. The upcoming bending and folding “Arc” mouse, for instance, looks pretty intriguing as it just may be able to straddle the thin line between portability and not-too-small-that-I-get-clawhand-from-using-it.

It’s wireless, which better mean Bluetooth (not some stupid USB connector) and will be available near the end of the year for $59.99.

This mouse looks awesome, and as someone who has to swap between portability and homebound with my laptop this will be a definite purchase.

bitcolumns have it on good authority that this mouse will have a minute usb connector, so small that you will never have to remove it from the laptop. We would prefer bluetooth, as it is standard on most of our laptops.

I have one in my hands right now, a gift from an MS employee. This thing is amazing. The Mini USB “nub” is magnetic and fits inside the clam shell for storage. This is good enough, stylish enough, and hard enough to get that I want to give it as a gift to all my friends.

Yes it is possible I played with one of these last night at my local best buy. If I remember there were 3 colors burgandy, flat black, and ? and the price was $59.99. From what I gathered from just playing around with it, it feels a lot like a regular mouse but once folded it would be very easy to throw this into your pocket and be on your way. Very Nice 10/10 in my book.
