Microsoft Arc

The Microsoft Arc is a mid-grade cordless laser mouse designed to provide users with a more portable and better performing desktop mouse. The Arc can be used both at home on a desktop computer or on the go with a laptop. It folds to 60% of it's size for easy storage and carrying, and expands completely for normal use. A 2.4 GHz wireless USB micro-transceiver connects directly to the computer and is recognized instantly through plug and play technology and has a wireless range of up to 30 feet; the micro-transeiver snaps directly into place in the bottom of the mouse.
