Microsoft Wireless Arc Mouse folds up, makes you look cool

Microsoft has had its share hits and misses as far as product design goes, but this Arc Mouse due this winter looks to be a slick little input device. Wireless and collapsible, the Arc Mouse promises to combine both portability and style for those of you on the "fashion edge" (their words, not ours). Hyperboles aside, this $59.95 optical jobby seems to be the real thing, and comes in both red and black. Look for it for the holiday season littering holiday gift guides.

Looks silly to say the least :S Looks a bit like a lazer blaster.

All laptop mice should be Bluetooth, period.
This design is pretty awesome otherwise. Very "out of the box"
The optical engine is at the tip of the mouse instead of the middle.
At first I thought it was a gyration type mouse.

Less "Enter" button, please.
It's annoying when you use it like that.
It's like every sentence is somehow its own paragraph.
Please, no more.

Looks like it will be a cool mouse...and I think it would scrape ice/frost off my car's windshield nicely as well.

score.

Wait a minute... Microsoft makes a bluetooth headset for cell phones now?

Well I looked it over on the link, and I agree with people that since it doesn't have a place to rest your thumb it'll be uncomfortable and I would not purchase it.

Just picked one up at Best Buy - not too bad so far!!

I've actually tried it out and it has a micro USB dongle, which is nice. I dislike Bluetooth mice because of the annoying cursor lag after inactivity. It feels good, and surprisingly sturdy despite its light weight. The flip action works well for travel and like most wireless mice there is also a mount to store the dongle underneath. What I didn't like about it was the lack of tactile feel to the buttons. They are a one piece type, similar to a mac mouse, so they take a little more pressure to click. This is could be a good mouse for the check out girl at Ulta to surf the net with, but I don't think you'll find it on the desk of anyone who does actual work.
