Microsoft Surface Arc mouse boasts sleek and clever design

Tech Tools: The curved mouse can be flattened when you want to slip it into your pocket

The humble mouse may no longer be an essential piece of computer kit thanks to touchscreens and laptop trackpads, but they do still have some uses.

These days though, they’re a bit sleeker than you might remember. Microsoft’s Surface Arc mouse is a Bluetooth mouse that will work almost anywhere, and go almost everywhere with you.

Snap it into its curved position to switch it on, flatten it to turn it off, turning it into a device you can slip into your back pocket. It will only work with Bluetooth 4 compatible devices though, so check your machine’s specs first.
