In 2010 there was a lot of talk about Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s Magic Mouse. A Microsoft Research paper registered in March 2010 revealed that they had actually been working on something similar long before the Magic Mouse became available.
Late last year, Microsoft starting shipping a collapsible travel mouse called the Arc Touch mouse. Though it was a touch mouse, it didn’t have multitouch. Still, because it was very similar to one of the concepts Microsoft Research detailed in its paper, most people assumed this was Microsoft’s touch mouse.
