A company called Arctic Fox Technologies has announced a new multifunction mouse that forgoes a myriad of customizable shortcut buttons peppered across its surface for a compact touchscreen sitting beneath your hand. The Super Mouse may not prioritize ergonomics with its boxy design, but it can replace other peripherals on your desk, like a trackpad, macro pad, or streaming controller. If you’re faster at typing on your phone, the Super Mouse could potentially even replace a full-size keyboard with a smartphone-sized alternative that even includes swipe typing.
The Super Mouse is now available for preorder through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in which it’s discounted to $199 for backers, while full retail pricing will be $249. Delivery is expected to start in February 2027, but take that estimate with a grain of salt, as many Kickstarter campaigns have faced unforeseen delays.
That price makes the Super Mouse more expensive than other companies’ attempts to merge mice and touchscreens. But while alternatives like Turtle Beach’s Command Series MC7 has just a 2.25-inch narrow display on the side, the Super Mouse features a 3.1-inch, 720 x 720 touchscreen positioned front and center beneath a pair of standard mouse buttons, a scroll wheel, and two customizable “hyper keys.”
