I'm getting really upset that my new Arc Mouse stops working. Settings/Bluetooth says it's connected. Disconnecting/Reconnecting does nothing. Sometimes it works for while, no idea how I got it started, then it just fails again.

Hi,
I'm using Win 7 (32 bit) with the MS arc Touch mouse software and drivers installed. Running on HP TX2 Touchsmart Tablet.
I'm facing a problem with my mouse with regards to the scroll function.
After "switching on" the mouse, there is a green led light and everything seems to work. The green LED then disappears, presumably to save battery.
However, after a short period of time, the scroll function will not work at all. There is no scroll "feedback" felt from the scroll strip either. But when I flatten the mouse and turn it back on again, everything works as per normal.
But after some time, the same problem resurfaces. Then, I have to turn the mouse off and back on again. Sometimes, the scroll function "turns" itself back on automatically. But most of the time, it just stops working altogether.
This is very irritating. It seems nobody else have encountered this issue.
Please help!!

One problem with the new one, it initially scrolled very easily with a light touch. Suddenly, scrolling almost doesn't work without almost scratching it. Therefore, I will not recommend it to anyone.

After 91 days, my Arc Mouse continues to work properly, so I'm satisfied that this design, unlike the previous one (Arc Touch, Surface Edition), isn't flawed.
To anyone considering buying one, do your due diligence and see what others have said. From my own anecdotal experience over the course of three months, though, it works.
Take Care,
Steve

2017-10-06T13:45:16+00:00 I had the same issue for my mouse out of the box, one thing I found which makes it work again is rest your finger on the middle mouse button (bar) for a second or two and it starts working again. Hope it helps.
