Microsoft got something right, the Arc Mouse

Update: Scroll wheel broken in 3 weeks time.

Today, on an impulse, I bought the Arc mouse. I needed a cordless mouse for my notebook, since unwinding my current mouse cord was losing nerd points for me. After walking through Best Buy, I saw the Arc. A beautiful, simplistic mouse that was the size of a regular mouse, yet small enough to be a notebook mouse at the same time.

It doesn’t have bells and whistles, but it works. It is exactly what I was looking for.

Like any new mouse, it took some time getting used to. It is very sensitive and can be frustrating for the first few minutes.
