If you’re not too concerned with ergonomics and just want a compact and unique mouse to always have with you, the Arc Mouse Touch is a solid choice. If, however, you really rely on your mobile mouse as a serious input device, you should find something...
Awesome design, Nano receiver, Comfortable in the hand

Snaps flat for easy transport, Tracks well on most surfaces, Scroll strip is surprisingly responsive
