Microsoft Arc Touch
Microsoft's Arc Touch is priced $67.95. It is a mouse as portable as you can get and adds style to the plain mobile mouse market. However, the price for such a hot product may make your wallet crawl back into your back pocket.
The mouse buttons are encased in glossy black plastic that tends to attract smudge marks and the like. Breaking up the black is the touch scroll wheel that's encased in a silver matte plastic. The palm portion on the Arc Touch has a soft rubberized coating, found mostly on gaming mice. This coating gives the Arc Touch a solid grip and a comfortable feel.
Weighing a scant 0.2 pounds and having such a slim profile, the Arc Touch is pretty portable. There's even a spot to store the wireless USB adapter: On the bottom of the mouse there a small metallic strip that will securely hold the adapter in place during travel. The Arc Touch takes two AA batteries, and according to Microsoft will last up to 6 months.
The Arc Touch has plug and play capabilities, but for those who like to tweak their mouse speed and add different functions to their buttons can download the designated software.The software will only work for Windows XP, Vista, and 7. However, the Arc Touch device will work with Mac PCs.
