Went to Best Buy the other day to get an Airport Extreme and happened to see a bunch of these new Arc mice on display. Picked one up since I needed a portable mouse. My only complaint is that it's not bluetooth... but that wasn't a show stopper. Love how it folds up and the micro dongle stores inside the mouse (via magnet).


I've always liked MS mice. I wish Apple would go back to the drawing board. Can't stand the design of the Mighty Mouse. I think a nice aluminum mouse would fit the bill. Something that better matches the look of their computers.

I would never buy this.
I do like the Mighty Mouse. However, I changed it to a one button mouse. I am just used to clicking wherever and don't want to be restricted to a right and left side.
