Microsoft officially announces the Arc Touch mouse

Accessories

In a press release today, Microsoft officially announced its Arc Touch mouse. As the folks in Redmond explain: “The Arc Touch Mouse [is] the first mouse designed to flatten for portability and pop up for comfort. The new mouse features Microsoft’s first touch scroll strip for easy navigation — just move a finger slowly for controlled scrolling or flick for hyperfast scrolling. Windows-based PC users will love packing up their laptop bags without the added bump of a mouse, as the Arc Touch Mouse flattens with just the touch of a finger.” The mouse is priced at $69.99 and is available for pre-order at Amazon.com, Buy.com, and BestBuy.com; the mouse will ship in “early December.” Hit the read link for the official press annoucement.

    The pricepoint isn’t bad, though for what you’re getting $49.99 would seem a lot more reasonable. I guess that’s why we have eBay.

    I actually saw one of these on display at Best Buy last night. It didn’t occur to me it hadn’t officially been announced.

      A non-touch Microsoft arc mouse is already on the market. That’s probably what you saw.

        Ah, I imagine you’re right. Forgive me, I don’t usually keep up with news on Microsoft’s peripherals.

    It looks like it could fall over and seems a bit awkward to use.
