WIRELESS MOUSE:
MICROSOFT ARC MOUSE
If we had a “most unusual mouse design”
category, the Arc Mouse would win that as
well. It lays flat until you bend it into an arc
that conforms to the shape of your mousing
hand. It uses a single click pad for left and
right buttons and scrolling, and the default
settings can be changed in Windows
device settings. At just 5.17 x 2.17 x 0.56
inches, the Arc Mouse is easily the most
portable mouse we tested. We also like
that there is no USB receiver to worry
about misplacing—the Arc
Mouse connects via
Bluetooth 4.0. Folks with
extra-large hands might
find it a little small, but for
most it will be a welcome
addition to their gear bag.
