Turn Off Scroll Sound Microsoft Arc Ouse

USB Arc Mouse - Disable scroll sound, but keep vibration feedback. Although I am able to get to the Arc Mouse settings, the vibration/sound toggle turns BOTH vibration and sound on/off. Is there any way to turn off the scrolling sound without turning off the vibration? The clicking sound is just a tad bit nousy. Considering its a sleek looking mouse i didn't expect it to make a noisey sound when you click on things but i guess that's just a small and minor detail. But if you're using it all day it just might annoy you. For that reason i'm giving it 4 out 5 stars. All in all a great mouse.

Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse has a bendable tail that you can use to turn the mouse On and Off. One important design differences between Surface Arc Mouse and the older Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse SE is that Microsoft hid the ribbed nature of the bendable tail. This a smart design choice that makes the Surface Arc Mouse look good on all sides.

Mice come in all shapes and sizes—some are clunky, ergonomic beasts that seem to have a nook and cranny tailor-made for every part of your hand. Others are low and smooth, so slight as to be almost nonexistent. Then there’s the Arc Mouse, so named for its shape when fully extended into its operational position.

This mouse is lightweight, with a spare body, and it comes in black or red. It’s just the right size for my smallish hand—but I can imagine that people with smaller or larger hands will also be comfortable using it. It has a matte plastic shell that I found especially agreeable, smooth but not slippery; my hand felt secure around it and holding the mouse took no effort.

The Arc Mouse has a classic three-button setup for the left and right buttons, plus a ratchet scroll wheel that also acts as a button. An additional left-side button operates with either your thumb or, for left-handed mousers, the third or fourth fingers. The mouse’s buttons and wheel have a nice, reassuring feel and sound; you don’t need to expend too much effort, and you always get good feedback.

The placement of the fourth button makes the mouse somewhat more conducive to right-handers than lefties because of the natural inclination to use your thumb for this button, but lefties can still easily reach the fourth button with the third or fourth finger.

Despite its unique look and fold-up function, the Arc Mouse acts like most other mice. It is very light, however, and while I am quite comfortable using it, I can imagine it may not be the mouse of choice for everyone, at least not for full-time use.

You can use OS X’s Keyboard and Mouse preferences with the Arc Mouse to adjust tracking, scrolling, and double-click speed. You can also program the scroll wheel as a button and the fourth side button using the OS X Expose & Spaces preference pane. However, you can also install Microsoft’s IntelliPoint software and use that to program all the mouse’s buttons, which will give you a greater variety of programming options. The mouse obeys software settings nicely, as long as you don’t mix Mac OS X settings with IntelliPoint settings: if you do, programmed button behavior may be unpredictable.

The Arc Mouse is compact and neat, and travels easily. It folds nearly in half for travel, almost like a cell phone. The device is sturdy, though, and the folding part attaches on a metal hinge, so there’s nothing flimsy about it, and it snaps smartly into position. The mouse comes with a faux-suede carrying case with small magnetic flaps to keep it closed when you’re traveling. Its two AA batteries (included) shut off automatically when the mouse is in its folded travel position, and a tiny light in between the two top buttons glows green when the batteries are fully powered and red when they are low.

Its 2.4GHz receiver is housed in a small slot on the bottom underside of the mouse’s body, and stays put with a slight magnetic force. If you want, you can leave the receiver in the USB slot of your laptop—it’s so small, it won’t get in the way. I found the mouse to be operational from at least 30 feet from the receiver, even through the walls of my home.

I am impressed with the Arc Mouse, and am very fond of its look and feel and convenience. It has enough unique features to recommend it. And because it’s so sturdy and stable, you can use it as a desktop mouse, too.

I’ve been using the Microsoft Arc Touch Surface Edition mouse for almost a month now. In fact, I’m coming up on the last possible return date. The thought of returning it has occasionally crossed my mind because sometimes I can’t use the mouse without annoying others in room due to the vibrating/clicking sound the mouse makes when you scroll. But as I discovered today, you can easily turn off the sound. And conveniently, all you have to do is install an app from the Windows Store.

Interestingly, once I turned it off I realized that I kind of miss the feedback. Easy enough, though, to toggle it on/off when needed.
Overall, the mouse itself is convenient. Easy to flatten and carry, requiring little space. It’s not the most comfortable mouse I’ve used but I think I’m fine with the tradeoff I get for the portability.
