Computer mice—specifically, really small computer mice—have suddenly gotten a bit complicated. That’s because the moniker “mobile mice,” used to describe mice for use on the go, is no longer sufficient. "True" mobile mice (tiny mice made for use while you travel, like the Editors’ Choice-winning SwiftPoint) do exist, but now, so do big mice that shrink for carrying anywhere—like the subject of this review.Microsoft’s Arc Touch Mouse, already termed by one wag “the Gumby mouse,” isn’t particularly small—it requires the same space to use as any conventional desktop mouse. It’s mobile, though, because it snaps flat when you’re not using it. That’s its main plus; we weren’t as enamored with how it felt, or its material makeup. (The Arc Touch will ship in early December 2010 for $69.95; Amazon.com, Best Buy, and Buy.com currently have it available for preorder.)
