Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse - The Inspiration

[totoadlaat3]

Mouse Level: Asian

[CagleRacing]

Young Kim, please apply for a position at Apple. Your video says a lot about your creativity and ability to communicate ideas clearly. Apple or Microsoft, you've got a great future ahead of you.

[N3rdman53]

im getting this for my birthday next week. does it have a battery indicator?

[hhp19891012]

Asian ROCKS

[goran2009]

I love this mouse, been using it for a week and love it !!!!

[acousticwie]

This mouse drains battery fast. Probably 2 weeks then the two AAA will be drained.

[holypredator]

Im actualy quite dissapointed in this mouse.

The touch sensitive strip buttons offer Page up and Page down button. WHY include SUCH USELESS feature? Why cant they put Back and Next button instead since theres no physical button for it on the side.

The worst part is, you cant change those 2 buttons even with intelipoint. It only allow u to configure the middle/left/right buttons.

[HraTomu]

does arc touch fit as good as regular mouse for hand?

[trickykid3000]

@HraTomu yes

[flmannyflorenzan]

after apple do something..everybody is copying.

[mzatlfan1]

wonder how many times this went back to the drawing board

[atpro420]

If Microsoft would hire more designers like this guy their products wouldn't be so bland and actually have the form to go with their function.

[wuorange]

Received this mouse today - looks and feels awesome!

[winterheat2]

i actually like the TrackPad that I bought the Apple Magic TrackPad. Also, I like the ThinkPad "red dot" -- once you are used to it, it is in fact very easy to use

[Whoahahaha]

Why is this video again about the tech? Tech should be all about the people. Show me what I would feel using it, instead what it felt designing it.

[winterheat2]

@Whoahahaha i think this video is so they give you a "Steve Jobs" feel of thinking about product design

[Loading17]

Steve Jobs reincarnated... I was looking for some gadget... and bought this mouse immediately on landing on this video..!!! really nice mouse.. and what is different from apple here is that it doesn't cost a fortune!!! Microsoft here shows: Quality is affordable..!!!

[MurilloDavidmgc]

Dam its like the 14th time i see this video i even downloaded it in HD, i already bought it at amazon for 33.45 tax and shipping already included.. All im gotta do is wait for the UPS guy to get here. don't get why this video has dislikes????

[qhoa1385]

i'm sorry but he looks like Bobby Lee,

a smart version of Bobby Lee

LOL

[MrFreshxKicks]

yea this guy is special cant wait till what else he comes out with

[DjAznInVAZN]

He designed the mouse out of pure imagination and the thought of portability and the reliability of being a solid, strong and easy-to-use product.

Some think that this may have stolen some design by Apple, but where does it say in Webster's that Apple created sleek and easy?

This is a greatly designed mouse, and almost every non-ignorant and closed-minded person can see that. With that said, this is a mouse that needs recognition not because of the company, but because the designer himself.

[MrHolocaustianity]

@DjAznInVAZN You mean "open-minded" not "closed-minded". I was a bit thrown off there by your complete understanding between Apple and Microsoft's design styles.

[DjAznInVAZN]

@MrHolocaustianity

Oops.

[epwder1]

nice mouse but microsoft cant compare with logitech (or razer) they sux anyway

[keko4321]

Young Kim ... Microsoft lucky to have creative guy like you .

[dek5704]

His eyes look a little dilated.

[FeeLtheHertZ]

There's some Dyson thought process here, Sir James Dyson would be proud, as would be Apple (no joke, props to this design)

[kalargyi]

everything is now designed by Asian,

New Twin-Towers replacement

Ipad

Camaro

Mustang

Hot Asian Girls... Etc

[Jay100027]

I am right now using that mouse

[ramirocmr]

@Jay100027 me too :D

[yeonhi81]

Not impressed... there should be no clicking involved for it to be a true "touch' mouse, similar to a laptop touch pad.

[allsportsowned]

@yeonhi81 I like clicking.

[AsiansCanParty]

Revolutionary? Maybe, in terms of design. Evolutionary? One hundred percent. Knowing that this man, Young Kim, pioneered the Arc Touch project gives me much peace-of-mind when I go out to buy one and call it my very own. 

[designmypassion]

hello sir,

am purchasing a laptop which is a 64 bit and am very interested to buy this wonderful mouse i've ever seen.

so will it work with it or not???

waiting for a quick response please

Regards

[manulele81]

[itachiitachi1946]

that dude created arc mouse?......and now im 100% sure that that has NEVER played as a sniper online using the arc mouse.....

[lordfrikk]

@itachiitachi1946 lol if you bought this mouse for gaming

[itachiitachi1946]

@lordfrikk u and me have diferent ways of views...(and no i didnt get this mouse for gaming.my gaming mouse is g9)

[lordfrikk]

@itachiitachi1946 it's not about views at all! if you buy a low profile car like ferrari and then use it for mountain riding it's obvious it won't perform as well as a 4wd jeep... point is don't complain if you're using it wrong.

[itachiitachi1946]

@lordfrikk ur stupidity is infinte and thats why i wont reply to u trying to explain why ur wrong.as i said before u and me have diferent ways of views.and btw stop provoking me.

[lordfrikk]

@itachiitachi1946 sure lol whatever helps you sleep at night, its not about views so stop being an obtuse moron

[itachiitachi1946]

@lordfrikk read again my previous message to u...maybe this time ull understand it

[frankilinfujid]

nice job!cool and efficient!

[mawosleep]

Great unique design and great functionality! Kudos for Microsoft!

[ryN45678]

I have the old arc moue, it was great but after many years its breaking down. I loved it so much though im moving up to this next one!

[saiyoucho]

@ryN45678

My Arc mouse has broken down in less than a year. The scroll wheel button almost never works now. =/

[david90531]

Thanks for designing this! I'm using it right now and it's just wonderful. Especially amazing for portable use

[dom86juve]

Great design.

I'm lookig to buy a new mouse right now. It's this mouse or the Logitech M305?

the M305 does 4 way scrolling cant find any info that the Arc does the same, shame?

I think I will need 4 way scrolling, as I dont have much desk space.

[kingluciano]

mine no longer turns on btw

[Imperialscout2]

@kingluciano good thing it has a 3 year warranty then... unless u broke it :P

[kingluciano]

mine broke in a week. and there is absolutely nothing about broken arc touch mouses to be found online. i am currently waiting on a replacement.  ill post back if that one exceeds the life of the first.

[WATSONMUTH]

Apple steal this guy NOW !!!

[dom86juve]

@WATSONMUTH No!

[pandabard]

@WATSONMUTH No they will ruin his genius mind

[TheZeusx76]

@WATSONMUTH This guy is a cheap copy of Jonathan Ive

[Xentradi97]

@WATSONMUTH They should. MS soft store Apple's mouse and OS concept. Tit for tat I suppose. Great design. I want it. And I'm a Mac user.

[WATSONMUTH]

@Xentradi97 I got One and i Love it :)

[labobo]

@WATSONMUTH Hell no! Apple has done enough evil. Not to mention Microsoft is less evil at the moment so there's that

Btw if apple would make this mouse it would cost at least 3x as much.

[tofucheeseburger]

@WATSONMUTH

yeah, apple should steal this guy, so they could add 50% on the price of the tech he makes and make sure it ONLY works on macs.

[lcmtna]

@WATSONMUTH Nah, Apple are far too stagnant to think of something like the Arc Touch.

[Scarrus666]

Lol, dass ich nicht lache. Zuerst dachte ich das wäre ne Parodie für irgend ne Mac werbung. Reicht einem nicht wenn man das Produkt kopiert, man muss auch gerade dazu noch die Werbung nehmen xD. Wie sagt man so schön auf Englisch? Pathetic!

[sk8rboy33]

@SmiffWit

This video isn't meant to sell the product to the average consumer. They have commercials, ads, websites, etc for that.

This is for the tech-minded designer (like myself) who appreciate hearing about the inspiration behind an innovative product like the Arc Touch. I, for one, really enjoy these behind the scene glimpses into the creative process.

That said, I'm not disputing that Microsoft often has trouble with the "common-man ad factor" like you mentioned. That IS true.

[ookingdomstaroo]

@sk8rboy33 I studied industrial design and i love and wish for more videos like this. The creative process into developing consumer products is intense, complicated, yet beautiful all at the same time. I truly hope more people respect the time and thoughts it takes to provide them with innovative products that enhances their lifestyle.

[plusaf]

can it talk to my Verizon Android Galaxy S? THAT would make MY life better...

:)

[jokergallagherTV]

@plusaf andorid its self would need 1) usb input 2) software compatibilaty. but why would u trade up a touch screen for a mouse? this is ment for laptops and desktops. though i have to say i have ordered the matric touch mouse for windows, even though i have a HP touch smart laptop

[SmiffWit]

I like the design and I love my 1st-gen arc, but this guy ain't sellin' it by braggin' about his own gig and the difficulties-conquered therein. What they need to do is have a guy on the same furry couch talking about "hey I can use this thing with one hand from start to finish and it fits my grip without fillin' my pockets", and stop with the "this thing is why I validate my existence" crap... MS have always missed the common-man advertising factor from day-one.

[Ksombium]

IT REALLY LOOKS GOOOOOOOD !!!! AMAZING MOUSE _LOOKING FORWARD THIS TO DAGESTAN !

[mrappelhallo1432]

Apple hat das schon gemacht alles wieder einmal Apple nachbauen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigSemyy]

@mrappelhallo1432 haha das ich nicht lache ! Die Arc Touch Maus ist wohl wohl ein ganz anderes Konzept.

Man ey immer diese Apple Fanboys aka. Stockholmsyndrom !

[greenloomis]

das is zwar ganz cool aber iwie nich besonders beeindruckend
