I purchased this mouse to use with my Lenovo X220 running Ubuntu (11.04 'Natty').
The mouse ships with batteries and a USB receiver. I unpacked the mouse, placed the batteries, plugged in the USB receiver and "snapped" it to power it up. It worked immediately with Ubuntu without any further set-up or tweaking.
The mouse is very light, fully functional, stylish and a pleasure to use. For reference, the other pointing device that I use is an Apple Magic Mouse. The Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse is a great desktop or travel mouse.

If you travel, and you hate to have the lump of a mouse in your briefcase or bag...this is the answer. It folds so flat that you can barely notice it in your bag, the reciever is so small that you never need to remove it, and it works very, very well as a mouse to boot.
Having said that - it's just incredibly COOL. The articulation of the folding mechanism is something that 20 years ago would have been science fiction. The touchpad works very well also, and the fake "click click click" as you scroll via the touchpad is a nice touch. It also tracks on reflective white desktops that few other mice will.
Really, it's a great product - everyone in my office went "OOOH" when I unwrapped it and demoed it. Your opinion of MS software should not cloud you from admiring their hardware...having said that, the worst thing about this is that it only works on Windows, not Mac.

Good & Bad points for this mouse:
Good points:
Looks nice.
folds flat for easy storage
Scroll button has slight vibration & noise feedback, which is a good response for a flat scroll button.
Bad points:
There is only 1 upright position (I assumed I could set it at different heights to adjust for my wrist- maybe my mistake).
It can rock a bit from side to side due to the design, so not as stable as other mice. I did not like this fact.
It needs a hard surface to work best on -with a soft mouse pad it tended to dig in when pressure was applied, making it harder work.
The buttons although responsive, needed a firm, very slight movement - I felt like I was clicking using the top of my shoulder more ...maybe that was just my feeling about it.
Overall greal for travel and only a short while on the computer, but could not use for work as it was more tiring to use and slowed me down. I am staying with my original mouse.

REally good mouse.
I initially bought this mouse for use with my Microsoft Surface RT as the look of it went well with the surface and I disliked using the trackpad. Read more

lovely mouse, but not for big hands
I have always used fairly cheap mice so I splashed out for a portable mouse that can be used for long periods and this is a good compromise. Read more

A good product but not sure it's been tested for heavy users.
I've used this mouse every day since I purchased it but it's not really stood up to the tests of time. I love the concept though. Read more

Have had it for a year - I'd buy it again if it broke

Excellent gadget in your travels. really flat and good response when you work with on all surface except glass. The only objection is you must spend a USB socket.

Looks great - ergonomically challenged
I see a lot of good reviews for this product so I guess this may be about personal taste but... the ergonomics of this device are just plain wrong. Read more
