Microsoft, the worldwide leader in computer technology has taken the mouse to a whole new level with the launch of their Arc Touch mouse. PC owners now will no longer have to envy the Magic Mouse by Apple for the reason that this stylishly designed mouse by Microsoft has all the same features and a few more.

The Arc Touch mouse is bundled with a variety of very interesting features which consist of its flexible design where it can be curved for comfort and flattened up when not in use. The aforementioned characteristic also acts as a power on / off feature for the mouse. Microsoft added another feature to this mouse with BlueTrack Technology in which it is able to work on a range of surfaces. Other facets of the Arc Touch are its 15 mm thickness, a strip for scrolling, a nano transceiver at the bottom and the ability to use the mouse with either hand.


At the Microsoft Arc Touch launch in India, Mr. Satish Parreddi, Senior Category Manager, Microsoft Hardware, said, “As the computing landscape evolves to offer new ways of interacting, such as touch screens and touch pads, the mouse is also evolving but holds true to its core purpose: providing comfort and precision to users when navigating the PC. Although, the computer mouse has become more accurate over the years, there has been little change in the style of this common computer component. The inspiration for the Arc Touch came from wanting to better understand the refined and modern lifestyle of our customers and offers as much substance as style.”


The Arc Touch Mouse will be available at an estimated retail price of Rs. 3,600 at close to 100 retail outlets across 10 major cities in India. The mouse is backed by a worldwide three year warranty. Customers can also log on to www.microsoftstore.co.in to purchase the product online.
