An updated version, the Arc Touch Mouse, changed the design and main interface points, and was released in 2010.[3][4] Instead of folding for portability, the Touch Mouse flattens from its curved 'in-use' shape. In place of the scroll wheel on the original, the second version features a capacitive touch strip for scrolling. The touch strip is speed sensitive, includes 3 buttons (1 each for page up and page down, and 1 programmable), and features haptic feedback.[5][6]

To match its Surface devices, Microsoft updated the design of the Arc Touch Mouse. The new design is grey and features a new touch strip. Bluetooth is used for connectivity.[7][8]
