Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse
Travel, Mobile Productivity, Surface Companion, Ultra-thin Portable Computing
Overview
The Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse is an iconic rollable mouse that snaps flat for travel and arches up to turn on and form its working shape. Unlike traditional folding mice with hinges, the Arc Mouse uses a flexible polycarbonate body that bends into a comfortable arched curve when in use. Its unique design eliminates the need for a power switch — arching the mouse automatically powers it on, and snapping it flat turns it off. The top surface is a full touch strip that replaces the traditional scroll wheel, allowing vertical and horizontal scrolling with a simple finger gesture. BlueTrack technology lets it work on virtually any surface including carpet, granite, and wood grain.
