Developing the new Arc Touch Mouse was the culmination of a lot of hard work from the multi-disciplinary team at the Hardware Group and I am excited to show you the role my team in Industrial Design had in creating the final product.

The focus of the mouse was to meet the needs of our customers’ mobile lifestyles; our user research showed that our customers wanted a mouse with a very small form factor so it was easy to take with them, but yet still large enough to be comfortable and help them get their work done.

Please check out this video to learn more about the inspiration behind the Arc Touch Mouse and the process of how it evolved from over 50 prototypes to the finished product.

We hope you enjoy the Arc Touch Mouse as much as we enjoyed designing it.
