How do you like that new Microsoft Arc Mouse?

I notice you have an HDD, does the eject button above the keyboard do anything then?

 

The title of your thread has been changed. This section of the board is not for official owners' threads. Your model is no different than the other many Z models in the official Z owners' thread.

 

Hey and thank you!First of all I don't have a eject button instead mine has like so:ASSIST,split screen,VAIO and presentation button i have no ideea what kind of buttons have the other models.
The Microsoft Arc Touch is great!it's a bit hard in games and clicking because te right click button and the left click button they have very low action range,it's very confortable and the scroll function is fantastic it makes you feel that is a real scrool weel.The speed is very good!

 

Ok sorry for this i just wanted to make a thread for this model of Z

 

Oh interesting regarding the buttons. Mine with a disc drive has Assist, Split Screen, VAIO, and eject.

I'm glad you like the mouse, I played with it in the store and it was kind of interesting. I didn't like how you have to use a dongle though. Do you have any issues with disconnect? My bluetooth mouse disconnects from time to time and it takes a few seconds to "wake back up>"

 

No i didn't had any problems with him no disconnection it's good and smooth and i forgot to tell you that it's very precises
What model do you have?

 

I got Apple's Magic Mouse! My uncle found a used one for $8!!!

I found the extracted boot camp drivers and am able to get scrolling to work on Windows 7. Although the scroll is quite sensitive (it covers the whole surface of the mouse) I accidentally scroll all the time and that gets annoying.

 

i didn't like also the mouse from apple when i tested but this one from microsoft it looks good and it works good also,i've seen that microsoft it's preparing to lunch another touch mouse but that one doesn't look so good
What model of VAIO Z do you have?

 

I have the Z1390 CTO outfitted with the various things you see in my signature. The only thing I didn't upgrade was to a larger SSD since the computer was already so expensive and space could be upgraded later on in the form of memory cards or express cards. I also did not add the internal 3G since I just tether with my phone.

We don't have an HDD version in the USA btw.

 

There is no user with this exactly model?
