Microsoft Wireless Arc Mouse - Color Splash

Microsoft Wireless Arc Mouse features a sporty arc design and folds for portability. The wireless Arc mouse folds to about half the size of my fist and unfolds into - you guessed it - an arc. Though not especially ergonomic, it's comfortable enough for daily use. This one is a deep metallic blue, but Microsoft is offering a nice variety of colors to choose from. Four buttons make up the Arc mouse- left, right, scroll/click wheel, and a dedicated back button. The wireless transceiver fits into an indentation on the underside, and it's held in place by a magnet. The whole package fits snuggly into a pocket-shaped travel pouch supplied with the mouse.

Microsoft is coming out with four new colors for their Arc Mouse model. The four new colors are white, purple, green, and blue. There’s no technological upgrades on the new Arc Mouse, but these colors should please anyone who’s looking to style up their work/home station.
