[Best Buy] Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse Black $65 ($35 off)

Happened to be looking for a new bluetooth travel mouse and spotted this online at a discount. Picking up to check it out and try it with the Matebook X Pro.

Only Black is on sale, which is of course fine given the Matebook color.

Still pricey for a mouse, but if you're looking at the Surface Arc it's the best deal out there.

There's a no-name brand for every product out there.
I can refer you a no-name version of a Lambo, but does it perform the same?

Anyways, did you even look at what the Arc mouse offers?

The ARC mouse and the Magic Mouse seem to be the only models that continue to stick around for the last 5 years, so that should convey something to you.

Design is sleek and modern. Other than that, I found nothing good.
If you are planning on long time usages, get a comfort mouse. This is definitely not comfortable for long use.

2 Buttons, 1000 DPI (cant even change), gimmicky adjustable curve.

Sure you want to pay a premium for the above options then by all means go spend your hard earned money. Id rather spend it on something else.

The $18.99 Mouse I linked has 3 DPI settings.

I swear the people who always barge in with the cheap no name options are the ones who miss the point of the posts.

I travel for work, and have a MS Sculpt Comfort Mouse currently. Left it on my home office desk today, which prompted the search for another mouse dedicated to travel.

While the Sculpt is great and does fit in my bag well enough, I figured I'd have a look at the Arc and see if I like the gesture capability. I have an Apple Magic Mouse I used to use with my MacBook Pro but never found it particularly comfortable. Not a fan of the slim flat mice, like the $18 model posted.

And yeah, ballers gonna ball.

I have the MS Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse as my daily driver at work and love it, but I wouldn't recommend it for travel due to size. Arc Mouse is where it's at.

I didnt find this mouse to be too usable. The curve has not enough predicable support. My favorite is M720 for portable use and MX master for home use.

Mine is the lower profile Sculpt. Very nice mouse - good weight to it and compact, but as I say I could use a 2nd one and figured I'd give the Arc a try.

Thanks OP! I was considering this mouse for use when I'm travelling for work. Easily got the expense approved when I told our controller that the mouse was on sale haha

I like this mouse for working from coffee shops, took a little bit to get used to but it's nice and small, and sleek.

Lack of a dedicated back button is my only real complaint.

Worth noting that this probably being discontinued in favour of that new MS mouse that came out with the Surface Go. But this is definitely something you buy because it looks sorta cool. A regular MS or Logitech mouse will undoubtedly be more comfortable and have more features for the same or less money.

I digital nomad for a couple months of the year. I bought this mouse a few months ago and love it. It's the slimmest mouse you can get, yet folds into a nice comfortable size -- fits great in a laptop bag. It still has batteries, which is a plus for me, as it means no charging needed. It's very lightweight. You can use the scroll gestures easily on the surface of the mouse. The one thing I really dislike is that you can't left-click and right-click together -- it's taken as a gesture which was causing some issues on something I was doing which requires both at the same time. If it didn't have that issue I would rate it 10/10. I still recommend it.

New Arc mouse? This is the current model, near as I can tell. MS seems to only have it in the 4 colors matching the Surface keyboard covers and Surface laptops - i.e. not Black but beside that, it is the same product from what I can tell.

Picked mine up - nice unit and I'm sure the flat storage mode will be very nice in my small laptop bag. Would be nice to have a built in rechargeable battery, but I'm sure the AAA's will last for months.
