Hey guys, Jon Retinger with Jon4lakers.com here with an unboxing for you of the arc mouse by Microsoft.
I’ve been doing a lot of spreadsheet work on the macbook and we’re dealing with confined spaces like the cells found in excel. The trackpad can be very frustrating to use as far as the right clicking and such. So, I pick up an external mouse and this mouse is very cool because it’s actually a full size mouse, but folds down to be a little bit more portable. I supposed all mice are portable and pocketable, this one is just a little bit more so. So, I can actually show you guys what it is.
Here is the box, arc mouse by Microsoft. Microsoft does make some very nice hardware actually. So, it’s good for PC or Mac, it says right there and it’s USB with a little bit of a dongle. There is the mouse right there and a picture of it. On the side, there is the mouse. On the back, there is some pictures and specs showing you the little dongle and the little dongle and there is the Mac letting you know it would work with Mac and of course with PC and picture of the mouse on the sides and there is on the front. It’s kind of soft plastic but the mouse is really nicely displayed. Go ahead and open this socket up. Then you get the knife and we will break the CO so to speak. There you go, alright. Put that off to the side. Slide at the top. And there is the device sitting right there. So, we can pull that out. Hold back and slide out right out of that clear plastic. So, here is the mouse itself. It’s like it’s under some more plastic until we can get to that maybe for underneath. Open up the sides of the box and let’s see what we got, some instructions, never going to look at that, a carry case, it’s a nice kind of fake leather feel with two triple A batteries and—batteries so it’s quality and you can also there. Some warranty information, never going to look any of that.
Okay, let’s take a look at the mouse itself. Let’s get it out of the plastic here. There you go. Alright so here is the arc mouse and from this angle, it looks like any other mouse like that one for example. But the cool thing about it is actually if you turn over on the side, it’s got that really kind of neat arc to it. It makes it very comfortable to put your hands on and use very ergonomic and it also folds completely in for easier traveling. And you can also use it like this if you want just a small mouse so that’s what you prefer. So, let’s take a look at the device a little bit more. What you’ll see right there is actually the USB dongle tacked in under some tape, let’s pull that tape off. It’s pretty small and I think it just secures in just like that via magnet so that’s pretty neat. And the batteries go in right there. And there is an indicator on the top right there that will tell you how much battery life you have and—battery power. It’s got a left click, a right click, a scroll wheel, it does not go left or right. It does have a button on the side. And you can push in on the scroll wheel. So, it’s got technically four buttons.
It feels really nice. I’m looking forward to using it. It should be a nice addition to the macbook, something that I certainly need so this is it.
