Microsfot's collapsible Arc Mouse will be available this month in frost white, eggplant purple, deep olive green and marine blue for $50. Nice, but I do prefer my colors marketed under one umbrella theme. [Microsoft]

Chinese-Themed Microsoft Arc Mice Can Get Lost In Your Pottery Collection

During my visit to Hong Kong, Brian showed me to a local design store called G.O.D. (Goods Of Desire), which kind of reminded me of a China kitsch-themed Urban Outfitters. When I get a chance to go back there, I'm definitely saving up some money for these laser mice, a Microsoft Arc and G.O.D. mashup. Man, could you even tell computer mice were in the picture? Fooled me at first glance!

There's two G.O.D.-designed ARC mice for sale, one with a traditional Chinese tea pottery scheme and the other with an old-timey “mouse” drawing and character. Cute! Both use 2.4GHz wireless technology with a range of about 30 feet. Like the regular ARC, these can fold to half their size. No price was listed, but they're probably a tad more expensive than the $60 the regular ARC goes for. [QK123]

Fresh Pics of Collapsible, Portable Microsoft Arc Laser Mouse

Thanks to tipster Alex, we've got some fresh hands-on pics of the new Microsoft Arc mouse, which we got a first look of back in July. The $60 mouse folds down to half its size for easy portability thanks to what the packaging calls a "strong metal hinge," and the glossy veneer, to quote Blam, is indeed "flip and drool" worthy.

According to Alex, the tiny USB dongle attaches to the underbelly of the Arc when not in use via a magnet, and there's a storage bag for travel purposes. The packaging quotes a 30-foot range, and jumping is non-existent, says our tipster. Thanks, Alex!
