Microsoft is preparing the completely new Arc Mouse and is updating the existing Sidewinder X5.

The Arc Mouse is distinguished by futuristic appearance, comfort of usage typical for a large mouse, and compact dimensions. All these features are combined thanks to an original folding design. The mouse is expected to be announced in red and black variants this summer for about 60 USD (wireless receiver included).

As for Sidewinder, it became lighter and simpler comparing to the previous modification. In particular, the newer model has no changeable weights and LCD display. At the same time, it offers resolution switch and wired PC connection, in addition to 9 programmable buttons. Simpler design affected the price positively, making it 60 USD.
