The 2 year old ripped out half of the keys from my laptop, so I bought a Microsoft Wireless 3000 v.2 keyboard and a Logitech VX Revolution mouse as a temporary fix. Very nice. The baby then threw away the dongle for my Logitech VX Revolution Mouse. (I shouldn't have left it out!) So, I needed a new mouse. Times are a bit tough, so I didn't want to spring for a new Logitech (and hope I find the missing dongle) and found this one on sale for $20 at Frys Electronics.
I have bought several Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse combinations over the last year and have returned them all. The keyboards are nice, but the mice have all had somehing objectionale, from poor ergonomics to poorly placed buttons. This mouse is the first from m/s which I have liked in some time. It is stylish, light, has a good feel under my hand, and the price was right. It is just slightly larger than the Logitech, but slightly smaller than a full sized mouse. It folds in half and can be placed in the fake suede carrying case which comes with it. The small dongle plugs into a standard USB port. It has very good resolution and the two AAA batteries should last about six months. It has a battery meter on the top.
On the negative side, this is a basic mouse and does not have quite enough in the way of buttons for the retail price. It has the standarde two main buttons, a single back navigation button, and the scroll wheel only has a single side-function. The back-navigation button is placed too far forward on the mouse and does not rest under my thumb.
I prefer the Logitech for ergonomics and functionality. This mouse looks great, has high resolution, great portability and is a good value for the price I paid. Get more detail about Microsoft Arc Mouse (Blue).
