Microsoft may be a mega-large software company but the company’s engineers can’t help but dabble in hardware, too. The one break-out area where Microsoft hardware is awesome is the ordinary, oft-overlooked mouse. If you didn’t think a mouse could make you say, “wow” you need to take a look at Microsoft’s Arc Mouse Special Edition (costs about $50). Cool Tools guru Keith Shaw has given it 4 stars out of five. He writes:
“Microsoft’s Arc Mouse, with its arc-like design and extreme portability (it folds up on itself, and the tiny 2.4GHz USB transceiver snaps onto the mouse for storage), gets a style upgrade with the Special Edition. … What I’ve also noticed since using the mouse and the new version (I was sent the olive green version), was how smooth the mouse actions occur when using it without a mouse pad.”
