Arc Mouse

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Stylish Collapsible Input by Microsoft

— July 15, 2008 — Art & Design
The “Arc Mouse” is Microsoft's newest futuristic-looking mouse that will be released this summer. This optical mouse, features a revolutionary new design shaped like a crescent moon.

It can be folded to reduce in size by almost half, giving us the comfort of a full-sized mouse with the portability of a notebook mouse. The collapsible Arc Mouse comes in two colours, red or black , and is sold for about 60 dollars.

I have always thought that computer mouses are the least attractive part of owning a computer, but with this product, my perspective will change that for sure.
Trend Themes
1. Foldable Mouse - The Arc Mouse introduces a unique and innovative design that can be folded in half, providing enhanced portability and convenience.
2. Futuristic Input Devices - The sleek and stylish design of the Arc Mouse brings a futuristic aesthetic to computer peripherals, indicating a growing trend towards more visually appealing input devices.
3. Hybrid Mouse - By combining the comfort of a full-sized mouse with the compactness of a notebook mouse, the Arc Mouse represents a new breed of hybrid input devices.
Industry Implications
1. Computer Peripherals - The Arc Mouse disrupts the traditional design of computer mice, presenting an opportunity for companies in the computer peripherals industry to explore new and unique product offerings.
2. Consumer Electronics - The rising demand for stylish and innovative input devices, exemplified by the Arc Mouse, creates a niche market within the consumer electronics industry for companies to seize upon.
3. Mobile Computing - Given its collapsible nature, the Arc Mouse caters to the needs of mobile computing, suggesting a potential opportunity for companies in this industry to develop similar portable input devices.
