New Microsoft Touch Mouse on the Horizon

By: Bill Armstrong (Contributing Editor)

When Microsoft released its Arc mouse they showed the world that they could make pretty peripherals too. Now it appears that Microsoft is looking to add function to form with the Arc Touch. While there is no official product announcement at this time, some pictures and a few details were discovered on a popular German online store.

The Arc Touch mouse offers an easy to use curved styling, and apparently lays flat for easy packing and travel. Some speculate that the flat form serves as a stationary track pad, but that is not confirmed. Touch scroll wheel and built in battery indicator round out the features we know so far. Notebooksbilliger, the German web site in question has already removed the Arc Touch from its pages, but it did list the item at ¢69.99, with a ship window of about 1 to 2 weeks. Hopefully this is a good omen that we will be playing with this one fairly soon.
