The Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth is an original proposal from the company’s Windows. A mouse that works wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0 protocol and is compatible only with computers and tablets with the operating system Windows 8 . In addition, this team is committed to a very modern design. Yes your body is capable of bending to start working and flatten to transport easily (as seen in the photo above). All with two touch pads at the top who serve as wheel and with BlueTrack technology, which facilitates use the mouse on almost any surface without problems. The Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth is available for a price of 55 euros.
Original Design
If there’s one thing that stands out in a special way this mouse is its design. This equipment uses a long, flat design that arches when getting started. One of the advantages that bring the Arc Touch is that it only comes on when it is arched, so it’s very easy to transport without risk of battery drain. Simply return to flatten the mouse and it turns off automatically. The US Company has opted for a gray with a retro feel, reminiscent of the last century computers. Yes, the area above where the buttons and touchpad are placed has a gray color that is closer to the silver and stands a little more.
This top will both supporters and detractors. The feel of the buttons is nice and responsive to touches, while the touchpad that replaces the traditional wheel has brought us mixed feelings. For one, the touch response to movements is very fine and precise. But precisely because this is difficult in some gain controls for the replacement of the wheel allows us to move to the desired location when surfing the net or reading a document now.
The full dimensions of the Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth are located in the 13 x 5.7 x 1.4 inches when we have it in the flat position. Meanwhile, when we bend to get it started dimensions stand at 11.1 x 5.8 x 3.6 inches. The weight of this mouse is placed in 81.9 grams. As we can see, it is a mouse intended primarily to benefit through tablets and ultrabooks. This lightweight, flat and wireless design is very suitable for transporting in any backpack or even in the pocket of a jacket (in fact, is more compact than most smartphones today and just half a centimeter thick).
Wireless mouse for computers with Windows 8
Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse Bluetooth is geared specifically for tablets and computers with Windows 8 (this model does not work with earlier versions of the Windows operating system). The Arc Touch takes advantage of Bluetooth 4.0 protocol for low voltage to operate. This can greatly reduce the number of supported devices with this mouse, although in principle there is no problem with the vast majority of tablets with Windows 8 Marketplace (more problem we find in laptops or computers that have not included this version of Bluetooth) .
To start working with this mouse, you have to pair it with your computer. To do this, we first drag your finger from one corner of the right wing into the middle of the screen. Then we press on “Settings” and “Change PC settings”. Within the general configuration of Windows 8 we go to “PC and devices” and then “Bluetooth”. At first, the mouse does not appear among the available options. You have to press the button for five seconds Bluetooth accessory and then pair it with your PC or tablet. Bluetooth technology allows us to use the mouse to a maximum of 7 meters from the computer.
Regarding the operation of this model, Microsoft has sought to highlight the use of BlueTrack technology. With it, we can work with the mouse on almost any surface. This point can be an important advantage for mobile users who use their laptop or tablet in travel and travel. Parquet floors, chair or sofa tapestry. Of course, keep in mind that the BlueTrack technology does not allow the use of the mouse on transparent surfaces like glass or mirror.
When using it has given us the impression that achieves the same performance and accuracy than a mouse to use . But in these cases is usually a matter of taste and habit. In addition, the curve of the mouse does not seem to be as ergonomic hollow lateral zones, which can be uncomfortable when using the accessory for long periods. Yes, this is a mouse built to last, because it has a shelf life of 3,000,000 keystrokes.
Autonomy, price and reviews
The Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth uses two AAA batteries. These types of batteries are very common and easily available, and allow us to achieve a typical autonomy of six months of use. Definitely a good figure to not have to worry about the batteries for long periods of time . The price at which you can currently find this mouse is around 55 euros. The Arc Touch Bluetooth is a model alternating light and shadow. It is clear that the objective of Microsoft was a very specific audience, especially users with Windows 8 tablets that do not usually have USB 2.0 ports and wanting to make the mouse to perform desktop tasks. And with a modern and attractive design but also being very easy to carry anywhere (fits easily in the pocket of a jacket). This mouse easily meets this task, but it can hardly oust using a traditional mouse to a laptop or desktop computer.
