Review on 🐭 High Precision Arc Touch Mouse, Black by Microsoft - RVF-00052 by Jodi Ward

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not a bad mouse, but there is an obvious downside.

This is a mouse with a cool form factor. I'll give it a 10 here. The basic functions of the mouse actually work well. It has a very cool touchpad on the front, it's a middle click button, but it's also touch scrolling. So why only two stars? This scrolling feature seems to stop periodically. I've searched all over the forums for a solution and the only thing I can find is to just unplug the mouse and plug it back in, which basically resets everything. Requests to Microsoft for a fix are met with less than a cricket's noise. Even worse. EVERYONE I'VE SEEN HAS THIS PROBLEM. So when someone from Microsoft finally shows up, they're trying to walk everyone through the basic mouse troubleshooting steps to waste your time. Then, just when I'm ready to give this mouse a two or a star, I move on to scrolling. The mouse doesn't scroll. So I press the middle button. low and this is where the scroll feature comes to life. I haven't fully tested it, but maybe that's what it needs. Stopping several times a day to smooth it out becomes tiresome. Being able to turn it back on when it works gives me hope and I gave it a 4 star rating. HOLD THE PRESS! The false alarm changed my rating. Pressing the middle button doesn't always work. Wait a second while I smooth it out and it's fine. We're fine now! For $50 or more, I just expect better, and you should too.

Pros
  • Rugged finish
Cons
  • Unreliable
