Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Arc Mouse work with macOS, or is it Windows-only?
It supports Mac in addition to Windows 10, 8.1, and 8. The Bluetooth 4.0 connection pairs natively with macOS — no proprietary dongle required. Some gesture customization features may be limited outside of Windows.
How does the full scroll plane compare to a traditional scroll wheel?
The touch-sensitive surface supports both vertical and horizontal scrolling with finger swipes. It's smoother and quieter than a physical wheel, and horizontal scrolling is especially useful for wide spreadsheets or timeline-based editing applications.
Will Bluetooth 4.0 introduce noticeable input lag compared to a 2.4GHz wireless mouse?
For general productivity — browsing, document editing, email — the latency is imperceptible. Bluetooth 4.0 is not ideal for competitive gaming or precision CAD work where sub-millisecond response matters, but for its intended use case the connection is responsive and stable.
How do I turn the Arc Mouse on and off?
Snap it into its curved shape to power on, flatten it to power off. There's no separate switch — the physical form factor is the power mechanism, which also prevents accidental battery drain in your bag.
What batteries does it use and how long do they last?
It runs on two AAA batteries. Typical battery life spans several months of daily use depending on usage patterns, and the flat-snap power-off design helps conserve charge during transport.
