Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse – Ice Blue

It’s such a pretty color I love the poppy red! It came with two triple a batteries and I use the mouse daily for school and work and it’s still at 98%. It fits in my hand fairly easily and I have normal size hands. The bottom portion that curls up when in use is a soft velvety material it’s plastic so cleans off easily. It was very easy to connect to my surface pro. It seamlessly flows and is highly responsive. The only thing that I had kind of an adjustment period to was the placement of the left and right clicks. Aside from that I love this mouse, it’s compact especially folded down it fits in a small pocket with ease.

Love how flat it gets when off — easy to carry. Feels smooth and works great every time. Once flat is off, to active it just go arc and quickly connects. Is not my day to day use since on my office setup I have another. But so far, when go to office or client, works great. The touchpad feeling to scroll is great.

The Microsoft Arc Mouse is not your ordinary mouse; it's a unique and stylish accessory that I've come to appreciate. Although it takes a bit of time to adjust to its unconventional design, once you do, it proves to be an excellent mouse. The absence of wires and the compact, foldable design make it incredibly convenient for on-the-go use. I can even carry it in my pocket without any hassle.One of its standout features is the impressive battery life. I've been using it for months, and the battery level is still around 70%. Not only does it offer longevity, but it also delivers a satisfying and precise performance. The Bluetooth connection is reliable, and the mouse glides effortlessly across the screen.It's worth noting that the Microsoft Arc Mouse doesn't support left and right-clicking simultaneously. However, for everyday tasks, browsing, and office work, this mouse is perfect. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, and the sleek aesthetics perfectly complement my Surface computer. If you value a good design and portability, this mouse is a fantastic choice.

I picked up this mouse based on the reviews. I really wanted a Bluetooth mouse that would travel well and this does just that, but more! I love that this mouse collapses flat and turns the mouse on/off with that mechanism. When it's flat, it slips into pockets well in my backpack. With it being Bluetooth, it works with every laptop of mine as well as tablets and phones which makes it very useful and flexible for me (literally lol). Another great feature and a favorite of mine is that it has a gesture touchpad as the button. It's one large touch pad button, but knows when you right click or left click and does gestures. You can simulate scrolling like you do on a touchscreen with two fingers, etc. and I love that. I haven't used it long enough to kill the batteries but they are still cranking after a decent amount of use. As for comfort of the mouse, it's ok. Not amazing but then again, it's a portable mouse and for what it is, I'm happy with it. 4/5 on comfort but everything else 5/5.

I use a mouse constantly b/c I have never cared for track pads and despite loving touch screens & inking; If I'm doing something that requires a little more finesse or specificity, I go for my mouse. But I usually just purchase whatever mouse is small for portability my and b/c my hands are small + if it had a cute design.Anyway, I changed my previous bluetooth mouse b/c I developed trigger finger...I suspect from the constant scrolling I was doing on my previous mouse and that it forced my hand to arch a little more than normal. I looked around for a new mouse with a more comfortable wrist placement and didn't require a specific scrolling motion aka scroll wheel. But I didn't want an ergonomic mouse...they are super ginormous (did I mention my small hands) and not portable.PROs:SUPER PORTABLE...lies flat and takes up a minimum of space.LOW PROFILE (easy on the wrist)...when it is engaged, it's very low profile mouse and my wrist can sit comfortably on the desk.BLUETOOTH AND MOTION SENSOR...The sensor works great on nearly all surfaces which is key b/c if there is one thing I hate, it's putting a note pad down to use my mouse!! Also, since I use a Surface book, less usb connectors available so I don't want to use one up for a mouse and I don't like things sticking out of my Surface.TRACK-PAD CLICKER...the mouse clicker is essentially a track-pad so I can scroll anywhere on the pad without having to shift my finger to place it on a scroll wheel which since I have a splint on my finger to reduce motion...this is a nice benefit.SCROLL SPEED...I love the scroll on this mouse. You can control the scroll speed. I've noticed if I scroll slowly or more deliberately, it moves in a slower or more deliberate pace. But sometimes, you know that piece you want is at the bottom of the page and just want to zip down...then I can just give my a good push with my finger on the pad and it speeds up and scrolls much farther like you were spinning a free standing wheel.COLOR...I would love it if I could personalize it even further, but I like the color...I got burgundy, not too light as to get dirty, but happens to sit in the same color family as my phone case, blue-tooth headset and backpack.The small reasons I don't love it are that the track pad looks smudgy after use...Nothing a clean wipe from my shirt won't fix, but noticed. And the buttons for me in my current weak fingered state felt a little harder to push.
