Bottom line: The Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse: Flexible design presses flat for travel, then arches to fill your palm in use; main trade-off: low, flat arc gives less wrist support than a full-size ergonomic mouse.

Manufacturer description

The Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse in black is built for people who work wherever they land. Scrolling happens on a touch-sensitive strip rather than a wheel. You swipe along the center of the arc to move through documents and long web pages, which keeps the profile thin and removes the one moving part most travel mice eventually wear out. BlueTrack Technology handles the tracking, so the sensor stays usable on surfaces that trip up basic optical mice, including patterned desks and hotel-room tables. Microsoft backs the hardware with a 3-year limited warranty. If you want a pointer that curves…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse really flatten for travel?

Yes. Its flexible design is the headline feature: the arched body presses down into a flat profile that fits a laptop sleeve or pocket, then curves back into shape for use.

How do you scroll if there is no scroll wheel?

Microsoft replaced the wheel with Touch to Scroll, a touch-sensitive strip running down the center of the arc. You swipe along it to move through pages and documents.

Will it track on a glossy desk, carpet, or a hotel table?

It uses BlueTrack Technology, which is designed to track on surfaces that defeat standard optical sensors. Microsoft does not list glass as a supported surface, so check the listing if that matters.

What warranty does it come with?

Microsoft lists a 3-year limited hardware warranty. Terms can vary by region and seller, so confirm the current coverage on the product listing before you order.
