Not for extended use

This is a wonderful product, but I just don't like to use it for extended periods of time. It makes my hand cramp, but after I have used it for a longer time span perhaps I will adjust to it. I use it primarily for doing email and general browsing, but it isn't a good mouse for gaming.

Handy for traveling but not long sessions of use

I found being able to have a mouse that flattens out is great due to saved room. It's quality is great. The only thing I've found is that my hand cramps up if I use it for too long a period. Nice for travel but I prefer to use my home mouse which if more comfortable and has more features.

not for stiff hands

The mouse is probably very practical for most people and the flat configuration is nice for portability. My hand suffers from stiffness so the shape is not comfortable and the buttons require too much pressure. It was worth a try for the price.

Best mouse at best price

This is my second Arc Touch Mouse. I have found it to be the best mouse for my purposes. It is comfortable and easily portable and my clients are always intrigued when I curl it up to turn it on. My first broke when I dropped a laptop and crushed the USB dongle. There's no way to get a new dongle. I kept my eyes open for a reduced price and found this deal at this company. Shipping was fast. Mouse was brand new in retail packaging with all paperwork. Shipping was fast and arrived on promised day. Could not be happier.

Great gift for team

I purchased six of these for my team who most work remotely and travel frequently. All have told me this was the best meeting gift they received. I have used variations of the arc for 3-4 years. This is better than previous models.

Excellent laptop mouse

This mouse is a good combination of portability and ergonomics. I have never become proficient on a touchpad, so I always carry a mouse with my laptop, practically the only computer I use. The arc touch mouse is the best mouse for packing and carrying in your pocket I have ever used and I have used dozens. It feels horrible at first, but give it at a month of daily use, and your hand and fingers get it. I have had several bouts of wrist tendinitis from mousing and I am selective about mice. Good and bad ergonomics both show up in a month, not a day. Negative reviews describe my feelings for the first week or two, but I persevered and now I am delighted. The original list price was high, but you can get it for less now.

Business Associates can't stop asking me about it!

I have at least 2 patients ask me daily what kind of mouse I'm using. It's the most portable, easiest mouse I have ever used and will never get another wired mouse. Initially worried it would get stolen, I put it in my pocket when I walk away from my laptop.

Almost a good idea

Troubled with doing a review. It has so much potential but falls short in so many ways. As with other reviewers, for a mouse its pricey. Having large hands its simply awkward to use. The responsiveness is too delicate.

Expensive, but Awesome

This has to be the best mouse I have ever had. It does take a bit getting use too, but it is very responsive and easy to use. Only two things would make it better, Bluetooth and the ability to adjust the curve.

Surprised

I really didn't know what to expect with something different but as this day goes on, I am getting used to the touch feature. I would have to go back and re-read the product features and description but I was under the impression that this was a fully touch mouse. Only the center bar has touch functions. The left and right buttons are normal mechanical clicking which I found a little stiffer than I am used to. Someone somewhere complained about the lack of a Back button on the side. I found that you can configure one of the touch features to do a Back function, specifying to do this only in Firefox. Very configurable in this manner. The only complaint I have so far is about the click buttons are stiffer than I am used to. Side Note: I am going to order another one for my wife's laptop. Followup... I didn't order another one, I just found a better mouse for my use and stuck this one in the laptop bag. It IS an exellent mouse to pack since is lays flat.
