The Microsoft Arc Touch hopes to revolutionize the mouse as much as the mouse once revolutionized the personal computer. This sleek wireless device “feels perfect in your hand” and snaps flat when not in use, making it easy to stow in your laptop bag when traveling. This is Microsoft’s first mouse to include a touch strip for scrolling. It’s also equipped with BlueTrack technology for dependable tracking on glass or other tricky surfaces. At the very least, this is a mouse that presents “stiff competition for your laptop’s trackpad.”
