Arch Touch Mouse

Ever since the first launched of magic mouse from apple, it has been amazed me the most with it's fabulous outlook and features. Now, Microsoft has finally release the arc touch mouse after the rumors and leaks.

I can't believe I'm writing about Microsoft as being an apple user myself. But seriously their new Arc touch mouse is some cool new hi-technology stuff! It is the first mouse designed to flatten for portability and pop out for comfort. It's new features allows for easy navigation with the touch scroll strip. It is very common that people will love to packing up their laptops bags without added a big fat mouse along, as the arc touch flattens with just the touch of finger thus providing comfort and easy fits into bags, pockets and take up less space on desktops. Hence, it is greatly distinguish from the apple's magic mouse as it can't be flattened.

The arc touch mouse is equipped with BlueTrack Technology, allowing the user to track on virtually any surface, and a tiny magnetic snap-in Nano transceiver stores on the bottom of the mouse. Two AAA batteries provides more than six months battery life and the built-in battery indicators shows different color when power is running low.

The arc touch mouse is controlled with it's touch strip, user can take control by scrolling with a flick of a finger. Since it's using a capacitive sensing technique and sensor pads, the strip is sensitive to each position and velocity will change rapidly to give users accurate and controlled scrolling according to the movement.

For controlled scrolling, a finger moves slowly on the strip. For hyper fast scrolling, flick a finger and to stop with just a simple tap. Three buttons are added on the strip to functions as page up, page down and the middle click area, which is reprogrammable for whatever mouse function the user needs most.

Switching from a traditional scroll wheel to a touch strip includes haptic feedback to simulate the bumps of a traditional scroll wheel.

I might cheated apple, if the white version of ach touch mouse comes out.
