NEW Microsoft ARC Mouse – Lilac (ELG-00026)

ergonomic mouse with great sensation.

activation is so simple, easy to work with different software, ex: Autocad …….

Perfect

Men typically have bigger hands, hence ergonomically this not fit for us.

horrible quality..keeps getting stuck while using ... tried it on lots of machines

El mouse es bueno, pero no al nivel que yo esperaba por el precio que es muy elevado para un dispositivo de este tipo. Creo que lo único que realmente lo diferencía es que se puede poner totalmente plano y así es muy fácil de transportar, pero la calidad de material y las funciones en general no son acordes al precio, simplemente funciona y ya, nada fuera de lo ordinario. Cómprenlo sólo cuando tenga un buen descuento, de lo contrario, mejor adquieran otro mouse.

I bought this Mouse hoping to upgrade from my previous Arc. (The wireless one) I cannot express how immensely disappointed I am in this heaping pile of dung. After trying to use it for two days I am at the end of my rope trying to make it work. No message-board on the net could help me figure out a solution to the atrocious Bluetooth connection this junk struggles with. The stuttering, and sometimes blatant disconnection from my laptop make it practically useless for me to use. My Trackpad is better than this garbage. I was so excited to finally have another USB port free, but it looks like I will be going back to using the wireless version of this POS. Dont' buy this.

Es un mouse muy bonito. La mayoría de los usuarios no tuvieron problemas y por eso decidí comprarlo. Es muy estetico y estuve facinado con su diseño. Se instala fácil, es cierto. Es suave al tacto.Investiguen bien su entorno antes de comprarlo.El problema está en su conexión bluetooth que es muy débil. No puedes alejarlo más de 30 centímetros de tu laptop sin que la conexión se vuelva inestable y se empiece a desfasar (movimientos erráticos como lag del mouse). Lo mismo pasa cuando tu computadora se vuelve lenta, la entrada del mouse se procesa como otra aplicación, así que a veces se congela.El verdadero problema fue en mi oficina, en donde había una interferencia (no logré descubrir de donde) que hacía que mi mouse no funcionara bien ni a 10 cm de mi computadora. La computadora al detectar este mal funcionamiento lo desconectaba automaticamente.Pienso que por el precio se espera un mouse que sea mucho más estable a pesar de su entorno, ya que al vivir en grandes ciudades muchos estamos cerca de fuentes que pueden altera la señal de nuestro mouse (reguladores, alto voltaje, antenas y amplificadores de todo tipo, baterías, señales wifi o bluetooth de otros dispositivos, etc).Es una pena que lo haya tenido que devolver. Es muy bonito, pero a mi no me sirvió en lo absoluto.

I have read a lot of reviews about this mouse - not all favorable. I have used a Microsoft Arc Mouse (USB dongle) for years and I really like the look, feel and functionality. It took a while to become accustomed to using the Arc Mouse due to the lack of a scroll wheel, but I am a dedicated user now. The Surface Arc Mouse has the same form factor as the regular Arc Mouse, but there's no scroll area and apparently only one button. Microsoft has built touch sensitivity into the Surface Arc Mouse so you can left click, right click and scroll by having your finger over the appropriate area of the mouse. I thought this would take some practice, but it works just as well as the regular Arc Mouse. The big bonus for me is that being Bluetooth 4 compatible, I don't lose a port on my laptop for the mouse.

It has a surprisingly good battery life for a Bluetooth mouse. The off/on feature by way of bending it straight for "off" and then bending it into an arc for "on" is a great quick method.I'd give it a full 5 stars if it felt a bit more comfortable in my hands.Comparing it to an Apple Magic mouse, it's almost on par but somehow the magic mouse feels more comfortable. I think it's because this arc mouse is too tall, so my hand is more spread out with the apple magic mouse. Still, it's not a deal breaker and I do like using this mouse.One area where it shines is the easy battery replacement (x2 AAA), where as on the Apple mouse it needs to be plugged in on the bottom and then cannot be used during recharge (that is very annoying). So good job Microsoft on keeping the battery aspect simple. Any x2 AAA will do or if you can, grap some AAA Ni-MH batteries.I attached a few photos of the Microsoft Arc mouse next to the Apple Magic mouse for comparison.
