Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Arc Mouse - Black
Customer Review: Unique, good, she is a beauty!
Summary: 5 Stars
Maybe a bit too wide on the front side, but that's all what I have to object to!
This is a uniquely designed product which combines both optical attractiveness, practical usefulness and perfect function. I like everything on this mouse. Its small size folded allows me to take it in my pocket to meetings. It is a full size mouse when it is opened, buttons feel perfect, and I like the "oh, ah, how cool" reactions of everybody who sees it the first time. The USB sender dongle has a magnetic docking place, it connects quickly to the mouse and this product seem to be compatible to all sorts of laptops and OS versions which I randomly encounter on meetings and in conference demo rooms. Battery life is... unknown to me, meaning: The first battery just keep going for months already, I never changed it so far! The mouse comes with a soft travel pouch.
Highly recommended cool product, on which everything is "out the ordinary."!
Customer Review: Satisfies my minimalist tastes
Summary: 5 Stars
From the instant I saw the Arc, I fell in love with it instantly. Although I was disappointed by the negative reviews it was receiving due to the scroll wheel issue. So I waited it out a few months and wait for Microsoft to iron out that problem in future builds. They fixed it, I bought it. I love it. At first you would think it would be too small for your hand to rest comfortably on. But actually its rather comfortable. The black version has a nice matte finish on it and it looks very nice. The only thing is that finger oils show up on the mouse, so I clean mine weekly. It folds up into a nice compact form and even come with a little pouch for traveling. Battery life is great, runs off 2 double AA batteries. There is a indicator light that lets you know when juice is getting low. Although I have been using mine for months and have yet to see it light up warning me. The mouse is great and infact I am buying one for my friend for his birthday.Customer Review: Works perfectly with a Mac
Summary: 5 Stars
Just bought this product today at my local retailer in San Diego and it's perfect for my Black Macbook:
Just plug the (micro) receptor in a usb port, pull the batteries in the mouse and you are good to go.
However, to activate the two other configurable buttons, you will have to go on the windows website and download a 10Mb software.
I configured one button for expose, the other for dashboard.
And contrary to the mighty mouse, you will not accidentally click the lateral button here.
I've been a Mac Addict since 6 years now but I gotta say that apple mice sucks and that Microsoft one is really really good and handle wells in the hand.
Thus, I recommend this product to any Macuser, really good portable mouse but with the normal size, really ergonomic, easy to setup and if you have a black Macbook, it's just PERFECT.
Customer Review: Really cool
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a Logitech guy, probably always will be but there has always something nice about the Microsoft mouse click feel that Logitech can't quite get. But I didn't even know the Arc Mouse was coming out, saw it at a store, impulse buy and overall--very pleased. The wheel doesn't support left and right but I have never liked that. The 3D Flip feature is all I need.
Excellent look and (I saw one guy said his finger tips touch the desk???What???) the size and feel is really really smooth. I am really sold on this. Shoot, I may buy another one. (The Red has a slick plastic look where the black one has a texture that I'm concerned will attract dust and cookie crumbs).
One final benefit -- it folds to a small size. Nice job.
Customer Review: Best compact full-sized mouse so far...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this mouse in Australia and have been using it every day (heavy duty) for over a year. Feels great in my hand, works like a champ, folds for great reduction in size, and looks good. Keeping it closed when not in use really helps the battery life. I will definitely buy more in the future!
Update: I am going on two years with the Arc Mouse. It is very durable and the tracking, clicking and battery life are great. The new Arc is curved when on, and off when flat (and very cool looking). I was going to buy one, but the right/left click buttons feel harder to push and the edge of the mouse seems to get in the way of clicking the buttons. So this week I am ordering another original Arc Mouse for my other computer.
