Microsoft’s Surface Mouse is back, now with haptic feedback – and I need it
Due October 13, the $80 Surface mouse packs an impressive array of features. I want one.
Microsoft's Surface Mouse is making a triumphant return to the market, now equipped with haptic feedback and a customizable action button. After being out of stock for years, the mouse is set to launch on October 13 for $80. Microsoft's blog post about the new Surface devices announced this surprise addition. The mouse, available in stores and priced at $80, is a welcome addition to Microsoft's own product lineup, which had been discontinued in 2023.
Priced at $80, the Surface Mouse offers several enhancements over its predecessors. It features haptic feedback, allowing users to feel subtle yet noticeable sensations when interacting with the screen or other elements. A customizable action button, designed to work with Microsoft's Copilot, can be programmed to perform various tasks, though customization is limited to app-wide settings.
The mouse also boasts a redesigned ambidextrous shape, making it comfortable for both left- and right-handed users. Additionally, it is constructed with 30% recycled plastic, giving it an eco-friendly edge. Although Microsoft has discontinued its keyboard and mouse line since 2023, the Surface Mouse will be a welcome addition to users' desks upon its release.
