硬件规格和设计
Microsoft Surface Arc 鼠标(Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse)采用精美的简约设计，有四种颜色可供选择：酒(Burgundy)红色、浅灰色(Light Gray)、钴蓝色(Cobalt Blue)和水(Aqua)蓝色。你可以在下面的图片中看到它们。在本次审查中，我们测试了浅灰色变体(Light Gray variant)。
为了连接到其他设备，Surface Arc Mouse使用了与蓝牙(Bluetooth)4.0 和 4.1 版本兼容的蓝牙芯片。(Bluetooth chip)因此，您可以将其连接到笔记本电脑、平板电脑、智能手机和其他各种设备。如果您阅读该产品的官方规格，您会看到微软(Microsoft)谈到了两个按钮：一个用于右键单击，另一个用于左键单击。
不幸的是，这是不正确的。这款鼠标只有一个带有触敏表面的按钮。因此，您不能同时右键单击和左键单击。然而，这个触敏表面支持触摸手势和滚动动作，如全滚动平面(scroll plane)、水平和垂直滚动。
Microsoft Surface Arc 鼠标(Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse)有一个可弯曲的尾巴，您可以使用它来打开和关闭(Off)鼠标。Surface Arc Mouse与旧版Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse SE之间的一个重要设计差异是，Microsoft隐藏了可弯曲尾部的棱纹特性。这是一个聪明的设计选择(design choice)，使Surface Arc 鼠标(Surface Arc Mouse)的各个方面看起来都很好。

使用Microsoft Surface Arc 鼠标(Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse)
我们将Microsoft Surface Arc 鼠标(Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse)连接到Windows 10笔记本电脑和Android智能手机。连接轻而易举，每次都像魅力一样发挥作用。我们对蓝牙兼容性(Bluetooth compatibility)没有任何问题。
鼠标即插即用，连接电脑或设备(computer or device)即可使用。但是，它仅使用其默认设置，并且您错过了启用中键单击或控制DPI 灵敏度(DPI sensitivity)等功能。如果您希望使用Microsoft Surface Arc 鼠标(Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse)获得最佳体验，您应该安装并使用Microsoft 鼠标和键盘中心(Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center)。有了它，您可以解锁鼠标所提供的一切。
说到使用Microsoft Surface Arc 鼠标(Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse)，即使您的手很大，长时间使用也很舒适。我们认为它非常适合使用商业应用程序(business apps)并经常浏览网络的商业用户。主要对网页浏览和消费内容(web browsing and consuming content)感兴趣的休闲用户也会喜欢它。
但是，如果您是游戏玩家，则应避免使用鼠标。首先(First)，您不能同时单击鼠标右键和单击鼠标左键，这是游戏中经常执行的操作，并且其响应时间(response time)对于动作类游戏来说是滞后的。当你输掉一场比赛时你会感到沮丧，因为你的鼠标不够快，它不能让你执行某些游戏中的动作。
与较旧的Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse SE(Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse SE)相比，我们错过的一个方面是触觉滚动条(scroll strip)。那没了。另外，为了中键，你必须三指点击(finger click)，在这么小的表面上执行起来相当尴尬。您可以在Microsoft Surface Arc 鼠标(Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse)上使用的触控手势很有用，但需要一些时间来学习和适应。例如，几天后，我们仍然会错过一些中间点击。此外，为了获得最佳体验，您必须使用Windows 10。
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse的便携性非常出色，并且是其最吸引人的功能。您按下可弯曲的尾巴，它会关闭，您可以将它放在任何地方，在您的口袋或背包中。随身携带是一种享受，需要使用时再打开也是一种享受。从便携性的角度来看， (portability perspective)Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse显然是笔记本电脑用户的最佳伴侣之一。
总体而言，Microsoft Surface Arc 鼠标为只需要鼠标基本功能并重视便携性的用户提供了愉快的体验。但是，如果您需要更多功能，则应该寻找其他地方。(Overall, Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse offers a pleasant experience for users who require only the basics from their mice and value portability above all else. However, if you need more features, you should look elsewhere.)

Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse review: Beautiful and highly portable!
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse is a beautiful Bluetooth device, that looks like a mix between the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse SE, and Microsoft Touсh Mouse (We loved using Mіcrosoft Αrc Touch Mouse SE, and we disliked the Microsoft Touch Moυse). You can imaginе that we were curious to test it and see if it is new "hybrid" is a good choice for laptop and tablet υsers. Rеad this review and see whether Microsoft'ѕ Surface Arc Mouse is a good fit for your needs:
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse: Who is it good for?
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse is a suitable choice for:
- People who desire the best possible portability from their mouse
- Users who appreciate a good-looking device and are willing to pay for it
- Users of Windows 10 devices such as laptops and tablets
Pros and cons
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse has a couple of aces up its sleeves:
- It is beautiful, if not the most beautiful mouse for Windows 10 users
- It is light, small and easy to carry
- It is comfortable to use even for long work hours
- It offers a plug-and-play experience
There are also some downsides to consider:
- You can middle-click only if you install the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center
- You cannot right-click and left-click at the same time
- The haptic scroll strip is gone, and we miss it
Verdict
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse looks great and attracts the admirations of everyone that sees it. Also, it is the most portable Bluetooth mouse that you can buy. If you use Windows 10, you are a business user or a casual user that does not play games, Surface Arc Mouse may be the best Bluetooth mouse that you can buy. It offers excellent looks and portability, at the cost of features. However, if you are a gamer of a professional that does video and image editing, there are better mice for you that offer more features.
Unboxing the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse is a premium Bluetooth mouse that comes in a beautiful little white box. You see a picture of the mouse on the top cover, and on the back, you find some information about the product that you just bought. To get a feel for the unboxing experience, watch the video below.
Inside the box, you find the following items: the mouse itself, two AAA alkaline batteries (found inside the mouse), the quick setup guide, and the warranty.
Hardware specifications and design
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse has a beautiful minimalistic design, and it comes in four color variants: Burgundy, Light Gray, Cobalt Blue, and Aqua. You can see them all in the picture below. For this review, we tested the Light Gray variant.
In order to connect to other devices, the Surface Arc Mouse uses a Bluetooth chip that is compatible with Bluetooth versions 4.0 and 4.1. Therefore, you can connect it to laptops, tablets, smartphones, and other devices of all kinds. If you read the official specifications of this product, you see that Microsoft talks about two buttons: one for right click and another for left click.
Unfortunately, this is not correct. This mouse has only one button with a touch-sensitive surface. Because of that, you cannot right-click and left-click simultaneously. However this touch-sensitive surface has support for touch gestures, and scroll actions like full scroll plane, horizontal and vertical scrolling.
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse has a bendable tail that you can use to turn the mouse On and Off. One important design differences between Surface Arc Mouse and the older Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse SE is that Microsoft hid the ribbed nature of the bendable tail. This a smart design choice that makes the Surface Arc Mouse look good on all sides.
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse uses Microsoft's BlueTrack Technology, which adds the benefits of being able to use the mouse on all kinds of surfaces: glass, wood, granite, and also on any mouse pad. Its sensor has a maximum sensitivity of 1800 dpi, and a tracking speed of up to 30 inches (762 millimeters) per second.
The wireless range of the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse is 32.8 feet (10 meters) in open areas and 16.4 feet (5 meters) in office environments. The included batteries are supposed to last for up to 6 months, which is something that we did not get to confirm since we used the mouse only for a few weeks.
Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse is a small and thin mouse, with a size of 5.17" x 2.17" x 0.56" (131 mm x 55 mm x 14 mm). It is also light, weighing just 2.91 ounces (82.49 grams), including batteries.

Using the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse
We connected the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse to Windows 10 laptops and Android smartphones. The connection was a breeze, and it worked like a charm every time. We had no issues with Bluetooth compatibility.
The mouse is plug-and-play, and you can use it as soon as it is connected to your computer or device. However, it uses only its default settings, and you are missing out on things like enabling the middle-click or controlling the DPI sensitivity. If you want the best experience possible with the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse, you should install and use the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. With it, you unlock everything that the mouse has to offer.
Speaking of using the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse, it is comfortable to use for long hours, even if you have large hands. We consider it a great fit for business users, who use business apps and browse the web a lot. Casual users, interested mostly in web browsing and consuming content are going to enjoy it too.
However, it is a mouse that you should avoid if you are a gamer. First of all, you cannot right-click and left-click at the same time, actions which are often performed in games, and its response time is laggy for action-packed games. You are going to get frustrated when you lose a game because your mouse is not fast enough and it cannot allow you to perform certain in-game actions.
One aspect that we missed when compared to the older Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse SE is the haptic scroll strip. That is gone. Also, in order to middle-click, you have to three finger click, which is rather awkward to perform on such a small surface. The touch gestures that you can use on the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse are useful, but they take some time to learn and get comfortable with. For example, after a couple of days, we still miss some of our middle clicks. Also, to get the best possible experience, you have to use Windows 10.
The portability of the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse is outstanding, and its most attractive feature. You press on the bendable tail, it turns off, and you can place it anywhere, in your pockets or your backpack. Carrying it is a pleasure, as well as turning it on again when you need to use it. Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse is clearly one of the best companions for laptop users, from a portability perspective.
Overall, Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse offers a pleasant experience for users who require only the basics from their mice and value portability above all else. However, if you need more features, you should look elsewhere.
