Is the Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse worth it?
Only if portability matters more than precision.
It lies completely flat to slip into a bag and switches on when you bend it into its arch. You scroll by sliding a finger on its touch surface, and it pairs over Bluetooth and recharges. It's lovely to look at and comfortable enough for short sessions, but the tester found its accuracy a little off at times and the click buttons took time to get used to, and there are no side buttons. It suits a Surface or any laptop on the go better than a desk.

How we reached this verdict
Windows Central found it brilliantly designed, super portable and comfortable with smooth navigation, but underwhelming overall: accuracy seemed off at times and the click buttons take time to get used to. That's the main expert test we found, so the verdict also rests on Microsoft's spec page.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
