Microsoft released a rather odd notebook mouse, the foldable Arc Mouse. The unique folding design of this mouse allows you to cut its size.
The Arc Mouse’s elegant, foldable shape allows it to easily slip into any bag while on the go, and expand to a comfortable full size while in use. Its micro transceiver quickly snaps into the bottom of the mouse using a magnet, and is so small it sticks out less than 1 centimeter while plugged in — there is no need to remove it from a laptop while traveling.
The Arc Mouse features high-end details in every aspect of its design — its strong metal hinge can be opened and closed with confidence, and testing shows that its sturdy shape can hold more than 25 pounds.
The Microsoft Arc Mouse uses 2.4GHz wireless technology and uses a little USB connector that has a range of up to 30 feet. Microsoft claims this laser-based mouse has a battery life of more than six months. It will be available later this month for $60.
