It’s definitely clever. Like someone else said, this is the kind of thing pretty much nobody buys but gets for free in a swag bag at an event or conference.

No scroll wheel?

Posts here will relate to gadgets, which will be manufactured and you seem oblivious to that fact

Do you have a point or are you just telling me things I already knew?

The typical university graduate project

Then you should check out the LTT Backpack at LTTstore.com, and then you can check out our sponsor.... Oh sorry, I've been watching too much YouTube

You're in the gadget subreddit

You're just helping build humans

Yes if you aspire to one bag minimalist travel, and have decided you need a mouse

Happy to see more travel peripherals to consider. I one bag travel, even for work, even with a suit. Size/volume is a premium variable to me

Oh I agree with you. I switched to a simple wireless Logitech mouse instead. But it is functional at least, unlike this one haha

I can get my monitor and my hard drive into my suitcase but then am left with the dang mouse. I can never fit it in anywhere! Also, try taking a regular mouse through 2-dimensional space. It suuuucks.

I take my personal mouse from home to work everyday so something like this is pretty useful

Microsoft's Surface mouse also folds flat. That's how you turn it off, actually.

tell me you're joking lol

Isn’t this post just an add?

Think there’s no answer? YOURE SO STUPID!!

Especially when traveling internationally with my full desktop computer.

If it works well, I’ll get one. I travel a a LOT and I hate touch pads. I always haul around a mouse and it’s so bulky lol, so this is perfect for me.

Stowage, that bwessed awaingmenttttt

I don’t use a mouse, mate.

If that’s the case, then would you not say that all artworks are unnecessary and therefore contributing to climate disaster?

Or musical instruments, being made of different metals and materials, shipped around the world, also superfluous and we should not have instruments?

You see, if you put it that way, then virtually everything in the world is a waste.

So instead of telling people what to buy or what to do, we should just aim not to buy unnecessary things that we don’t use. If someone finds the mouse useful and wants it, go ahead. He/She can cut back on something else.

It’s not a zero-sum game. Someone using this mouse could be one who cycles, doesn’t use an aircon and have solar panels. Conversely, someone who doesn’t use this mouse could be someone with 3 cars, blasts aircons all day and wastes resources mining cryptocurrency. But it’s much easier to pounce on what we can see, eh?

The mouse (or any other object) is not the issue. It’s the attitude of unnecessary consumerism.

I had an original Arc and it rocked. Had a virtual scroll wheel and while it felt weird it was solid.

It eventually died and I replaced it, but the virtual scroll was gone so it felt like shit to use.

I bought one of those some years back (microsoft arc). I found the feel /shape when using the mouse seemed a little off, and it's lack of a functional scroll wheel was very annoying. Though it has thousands of positive reviews on Amazon; looks like some people do like it even with the $50-70 price tag.

I bought instead a "slim" (their name) jelly comb mouse for $11, and it works great. Doesn't even take up much more room since it is slightly fatter but more compact.

But the arc mouse does look really cool.
