Of Microsoft Mice

Mel blogged about our new Arc Mouse this weekend and whilst I don’t think it’ll replace the Starck mouse as my favourite Microsoft mouse, it does look pretty interesting.

When I first saw this mouse I thought it was a bit too much style over function but seeing the detailed photos from Mel has me more intrigued as it doesn’t look as highly bridged as I thought and I suspect it’s very light. What I love about the Starck is its lightness and the simplicity of the click action. Sad eh how much thought I put in to mouse choice but when you spend as long playing with these rodents as I do you tend to get a bit picky about them. Maybe it’s just me….most people laugh when they see I use a Starck mouse, mainly as it’s a cabled mouse but this downside is far outweighed by the design for me. Simple, elegant and functional. My only disappointment is we stopped making them :(

Lets see if the Arc can take the mantle.
