Microsoft Arc Mouse In-Depth Review

[HeadShot360IN]

get it off ebay non branded for only $5+$2 shipping

[shoefork]

WHATS THE DPI!!???

[Djinnhydra]

@shoefork He said the DPI, dippy

[Jay100027]

that mouse sucks. You should buy the arc touchmouse

[iuliux]

And the scroll wheel really sucks.

[davenrai]

i got mine 5 months ago and love it!

Only thing i dont like is that to turn it off you have to fold it and i usually forget and my batterys drain quick

[emock72]

just get a razer naga... it is the best!

[top5pin]

half of the video is just the mouse standing still..

boriiiiiiiiiiing

[Suffer4Others]

Reminds me of a fish.

[mastrofangelz]

"all though there are many positive aspects of the arc mouse, there is a one down side of a product...."

[awesome11991]

this mouse is in my hand right now

[andymillerisdabest]

stylish(?!) pouch

[skripter888]

this is the oldest version of this device

[rabbitofdeth]

didnt it say somewhere on the box it tells you when your batteries are getting low? cuz i swear it did on mine.

[TheGarcia350]

i remember that mouse. the mouse is as shitty as its looks. that thing died after a week from when my friend first bought it.

[carolpreethic]

Hey this mouse does not work after a while. I have one and have found so many people facing the same problem. IT just stops working in a few months or Weeks if u are unlucky. Looks great and cool concept but dont buy unless you want a really expensive paperweight!

[oOoDeadlyoOo]

it has a very high price acording to its performance as you can get for 40$ a mouse with more DPI and with better performance!

[poohead2001]

would it work on games well

[MsGingaB]

I just got this mouse for xmas and love every bit of it. The only thing that's sorta turning me off is that the scroll only works on my web browser :S I can't use it anywhere else what so ever. Is this normal or is it slowly dying?

[LALOMAN18]

What? Inaccessible side button? Are you smoking drugs, just stretch your lazy ass thumb a bit and there you have it, u just pressed the side button! This is the best and perfect most accurate mouse ever design, and the best feature is not only that once folded the fucker looks like a midgets mouse but the most incredible feature is the 6 month battery life it gives you! Rechargeable batteries anyone?

[bludika]

@LALOMAN18 does this mouse feel comfortable even after hours of use? I'm interested in this mouse due to its light weight, but how is the comfort? does the arc design make it comfortable on your wrist?

[LALOMAN18]

@bludika It sure does. I use it almost every day, its very accurate, up to 6 months battery and once folded it hides inside your palm, thats how small it gets so it sure doesn't take up any space in your laptop's bag. Just to make it clear, when the mouse fold open, it actually become the size of a full size mouse your hand doesn't feel like it needs to hold it tight thinking its too small. I use it on Maya when I'm doing 3D characters for hours and never get tired.

[LALOMAN18]

The new version just came out "Arc Touch" , its very slick but without the side 'back' button but someone had mention on a review that he managed to configure the scroll wheel sensor to act as a 'back' button on webpages by double clicking on it. Either way, a mistake people do when getting any of the Arc mouses is that they don't download Microsoft's "IntelliPoint" Arc's software to customize it and use its feature. It works great on Mac's too with IntelliPoint for Mac.

[LALOMAN18]

Now if your really looking for ultimate comfort and customization then look no further, you need to look at the kick ass Cyborg's R.A.T. 3, R.A.T. 5, R.A.T. 7 or the Wireless version R.A.T. 9! These mouses are the best looking, fully custom adjusts to the size of your hand, light, durable, and very ergonomic mouses! Worth every penny...

[XipeAyotl]

@LALOMAN18 Es cierto el botón lateral es INACCESIBLE no se puede presionar sin tener que modificar la posición de la mano sobre el ratón.

[LALOMAN18]

@XipeAyotl Bueno, yo ya me deseche de este raton y a comprado el mejor raton... bueno "Rata" que se e creado... tiene todo y ajustable a tu mano.. hablo de el super poderoso... "Cyborg/Saitek R.A.T. 5 - 7 - 9. Es el mejor raton magnifico. El R.A.T. 5 cuesta solo $50 en Amazon y es todo perfecto para laptops... tambien desktops si uno desea...

[ccaian1]

@LALOMAN18

wow idiot he is saying its uncomfortable

and hacing to stretch your thumb means that this mouse is a terribly designed and horribly uncomfortable mouse, considering its shaped like an arc with no special egronomic features

low dpi isnt good for people used to high sensitivity or with big screens

any cheap mouse would be better

[LALOMAN18]

@ccaian1 Sorry retard, i had this mouse for year and that thumb button became use to and had no problems in using it a lot. Obviously your fat lazy fat fingers would demand the side button to be right under your fat thumb do to maybe getting over sweaty by reaching a few centimeters in order to press it.  I bet you wan't people to feed you in the mouth too huh? Go to sleep and don't bother me again!

[marcvie9]

@LALOMAN18 it comes with one battery and it uses any kind of battery size AA,

[LALOMAN18]

Got 2, a black and white one for $19 each at Fry's! The new version came out and it would've been perfect if they had not forgotten to still ad the side (back) button! Stupid designer and Microsoft, u just lost $70 from me!

[Mattehfication]

aw yeah bruv. you gunna go watch the football yeah.

[strikefire02]

i got mine for 25 dollars it is on sale on bestbuy.com

[MRJMUSIC]

hi, might be a stupid question..

but you know its only touching the surface in 2 places, that doesn't restrict it from movement does it? like make it 'jolty' and stiff against the surface? Thanks! (:

[DJnoratos]

:)

[AnimatorLinden]

so far i bought a 2nd one, i highly recommend that you dont drop this mouse otherwise it'll stop working... :(

[tanic25]

is the scroll wheel all clicky? or is it smooth?

[Richie2k6]

@tanic25 clicky

[pimpyouriphone3g]

Hi Rav,yeh when i saw this i was lost for word's tbh on what to say,but after thinking about it,I must say it look's rather good,due to me seing this review i would have considered this to be just another MS Mouse,but no it's the "Arc",and half way through i thought doe's this mouse fold up ? and bam there you go showing of the feature's,excellent m8,and for the price,tbh i thought it would be a lot more,plesantly suprised at how cheap it is,Well done on the video,Enjoyed watching,Cheer's buddy
