Reviews of the Microsoft Arc Mouse (black)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Unique appearance; collapsible design saves bag space and secures wireless receiver; easy to set up.
The Bad: Side button hard to use with a standard mouse grip.
The Bottom Line: Microsoft's Arc mouse is almost as functional as its form is pleasing. The travel-friendly features make perfect sense, and in general, it's a serviceable mouse for Macs and PCs. Only a few minor design issues hold it back.
