There are mouses that can bend while you use it and snap flat when you want to store it, like this

I bought one of those some years back (microsoft arc). I found the feel /shape when using the mouse seemed a little off, and it's lack of a functional scroll wheel was very annoying. Though it has thousands of positive reviews on Amazon; looks like some people do like it even with the $50-70 price tag.
I bought instead a "slim" (their name) jelly comb mouse for $11, and it works great. Doesn't even take up much more room since it is slightly fatter but more compact.
But the arc mouse does look really cool.

I had an original Arc and it rocked. Had a virtual scroll wheel and while it felt weird it was solid.
It eventually died and I replaced it, but the virtual scroll was gone so it felt like shit to use.

Oh I agree with you. I switched to a simple wireless Logitech mouse instead. But it is functional at least, unlike this one haha

The plural of mouse is mice

Thanks but I think since it’s an acronym in this case, either one works

That's a backronym. They called it a mouse because it looked like it had a tail.

Oh interesting. But the article also says that either “mice” or “mouses” is acceptable. So there was no need for that other person to correct me lol
