Microsoft ARC Mouse

[ndee]

I was doing one of my weekly hardware shopping and I saw this mouse (which looked weird at first):



It fit my hand perfectly, and overall, t'was good. But.. the price is way too high. It cost 100 LBP which is about $68.

I didn't buy it, but I'm still thinking of it. Any of you guys have this?

This looks awesome,
I do not have it, but I would like to have it.

How does the mouse pick up movement? If this works, I would definitely consider buying it, as this looks really cool!

What? Why wouldn't it work. I have no idea how it picks up the movement, my guess would be the laser is at the front.

Well, with the mouses that I own, they either use a laser that picks up the movement whilst it slides, or uses a rolling ball.

But, if they are selling it, it has to work right? I will look into buying this.

Is it comfortable enough to use on a regular basis?

I wouldn't know. That's why I posted this thread

Well you said it fit your hand comfortably, I was just making sure it's not going to mess up my wrist after awhile.

It fit my hand comfortably when I was at the store, I tested it for a sec. I don't know if you would get uncomfortable after a while.

Hmmm, well regardless, I'll look into it.

Thanks for the info!

This is actually a pretty cool mouse. I had a chance to use it a few times at work when a co-worker had a problem with his computer. Its really sensitive and personally its not worth the 70 bucks because it is just a mouse in the end and it doesn't do anything more fancy then a regular mouse you could buy for 20.
