I just got 1 and decided to try it on my pup. You bend it to make it work then straighten it to turn off.

“The Arc Touch is a great combination of design, features, performance and functionality. If you are at all in the market for your next wireless mouse, then you should definitely give the Arc Touch a closer look."

Windows requires 150 mb of disc space to install the drivers.

Funny thing is when I went to install Microsoft Arc Touch mouse on Windows, Guess what Windows first had to detect it and install the drivers. This was easy as turn on the mouse plug the USB dongle in Windows did the rest in about 2 minutes.

Plugged it into puppy and everything just worked.

Which version or versions of puppy have you tried it with so far? I'd be keen to know if it is common for all puppies to be able to handle this, or just some of them.

5.7.1 retro precise fatty.
