$99.95

Price at time of review.

We've seen interesting mouse designs before, but none quite like this. Microsoft's new Arc mouse fold up like a mobile. See our photo gallery here.

I'm always in the mood to try new things :P It sounds like it'd be decent for business use, but I don't know if I'd consider it for gaming.. It'd probably be too narrow. Maybe I should look into it for my laptop!
