Yesterday we saw the picture above slipped out by coy Microsoft Hardware tweets, and speculation has run rampant. Its dimensions and material don’t seem to reveal anything… but we did hear a month ago about a potential Arc Mouse Touch, and now Neowin is claiming confirmation of this from inside Microsoft. However, if it’s based on the multi-touch mouse program I saw, then it’s more than single touch as they claim.

In any case, it still looks a little flat to be a mouse, and the Arc Mouse’s thing was foldability. Microsoft Hardware has tweeted “Just remember, we make keyboards, webcams and mice…” in order to keep things confused.
