Bottom Line
With its ergonomic, ambidextrous design and compatibility with Windows and Mac operating systems alike, the Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse is a versatile choice for lefties and righties alike regardless of which operating system they use.
The Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse is a compact wireless mouse that connects via Bluetooth and has been designed with the touch-centric tiled user interface of Design and Features The Sculpt Touch strikes a nice balance between portability and ergonomic soundness. Measuring 2.56 by 3.76 inches, it's roughly 75 percent the size of a traditional mouse, so while it's not nearly as tiny as the Wedge Touch Mouse, it's still small enough to slip into your pocket or your bag. Unlike other portable mice, like the Targus Ultralife Wireless Mouse, its profile isn't low to the point where it doesn't comfortably fit in the palm of your hand. The plastic chassis is sports a tasteful pewter finish, which is complemented by touches of silver in a strip around the perimeter and the touch-sensitive strip. The only departure from its all-plastic construction is the black rubber material on the sides that serves as a grip. A light directly beneath the touch-sensitive strip, meanwhile, indicates when the battery's running low or when the Sculpt Mobile is in pairing mode. It's no coincidence that the face of the Sculpt Mobile is symmetrical, as its ambidextrously designed to work with right- and left-handed folks alike, unlike, say, the HP Wi-Fi Touch Mouse X7000, which is geared solely towards righties. The Sculpt Mobile uses two AA batteries, which Microsoft asserts will last up to nine months. For obvious reasons, we weren't able to independently verify this claim, so we'll have to take it at face value. At any rate, an on/off switch on the underside helps preserve battery life. Alongside the on/off switch are a Bluetooth connection button and two glide pads to ensure smooth movement. The glowing blue light emanating from beneath the Sculpt Mobile signifies Microsoft's BlueTrack technology, which gives the mouse the ability to track movements on a wider range of desk surfaces since its light beam is markedly larger than the laser beam used in standard mice. Additionally, the Sculpt Mobile is compatible with Bluetooth-equipped Mac computers, wherein its touch-sensitive strip functions as an ordinary scroll wheel would. Given its ambidextrous design and cross-platform capability, it's one of the more versatile mice you'll find in the market. The Sculpt Mobile is covered by a three-year warranty. Performance Despite its small size, the Sculpt Mobile fits comfortably in the palm. Moreover, its combination of BlueTrack technology and glide pads made for an exceptionally smooth experience. As is the case with the Wedge Touch Mouse, sliding a finger vertically or horizontally across the touch-sensitive strip, lets one cycle though the tiles on Windows 8 desktop. A nice touch (no pun intended) is the matter in which the strip simulates the tactile sensation one gets from a typical scroll wheel, as sliding gestures produce a haptic feedback that feels akin to spinning the famed The Price is Right wheel. Within a program, like Internet Explorer, the touch-sensitive strip allows for horizontal and vertical scrolling, as well as hyper-scrolling, both of which can be stopped simply by a gentle tap on the strip. Additionally, clicking the strip over a link opens it up a new tab. The Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse is a solid mouse in nearly every respect. Its compact size doesn't come at the expense of ergonomic comfort, and its ambidextrous design and ability to work in Windows and Mac operating systems makes it quite a versatile performer. Within Windows 8, it especially shines. That said, however, our current Editors' Choice for touch mice, the Microsoft Touch Mouse, retains its title not only for its full gesture support but also for the fact that it will soon receive a free software update that will make it fully compatible with Windows 8. Users with that mouse, then, should stick with it, and anyone in the market for a new touch-sensitive mouse would likely benefit from its greater functionality.
More Mouse reviews:
I just bought a Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse for my Macbook Pro with touch bar (early 2017). It works fine under Mac OS but it won't pair under Windows 10 (Bootcamp).
After a lot of frustration I even wiped my Windows 10 installation, reformatted the SSD and installed a clean, virgin version of Windows 10 Pro 1703 as well as the updates from Microsoft and the Apple Software updates that arrived after Bootcamp 6.1.

The Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 shows the Broadcom Serial Bus Driver over UART Bus Enumerator, version 12.0.1.871 in the device manager. The bluetooth icon is visible. Bluetooth pairs fine with all sorts of other devices such as headphones, my radio with bluetooth and so on but it won't connect to any mouse. I also tested it with a Logitech M535 Bluetooth mouse and a Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Bluetooth mouse - with the same negative results under Windows 10 whilst working fine under MacOS Sierra 10.12.5.
When starting the bluetooth menu under Windows 10 it sometimes shows the correct device name (e.g. Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse or Logitech ../M535 mouse) but a couple of minutes later the Bluetooth listing discovers an 'unknown device'. In both cases pairing ends with a time-out after approx. 3 minutes.
