Manufacturer description

The Microsoft Surface Mouse (model WS3-00002) is a curved, ambidextrous Bluetooth mouse that connects to your Surface with no cables or USB receiver. It uses Bluetooth Smart technology, so it links straight to your device's built-in wireless radio. That leaves every port free for drives, displays or charging. The shell is symmetrical, so you can use it in either hand. That makes it a practical choice if you are left-handed, or if you share a desk where different people use the same setup. The curved grey design is styled to sit alongside Surface hardware, so it looks like part of the setup…
