Super Mouse puts a touchscreen macro pad beneath your hand

Arctic Fox Technologies has announced a new multifunction computer mouse called the Super Mouse. Instead of many customizable shortcut buttons, it has a compact touchscreen beneath the user's hand. The device is available for preorder on Kickstarter, a crowdfunding platform.

Price and delivery

Backers pay $199, while the full retail price will be $249. Delivery is expected to begin in February 2027, though such estimates are uncertain because many Kickstarter campaigns have faced unforeseen delays. The price is higher than other companies' attempts to combine a mouse with a touchscreen.

Screen and features

The screen measures 3.1 inches with a 720 x 720 resolution. It sits at the front below two standard mouse buttons, a scroll wheel and two customizable "hyper keys". By comparison, Turtle Beach's Command Series MC7 has only a 2.25-inch display on its side.

The screen can hold up to 16 shortcuts, macros or launchers in a "Control Panel". Its content changes with the app in use: in Adobe Premiere video editing software, for instance, it shows editing and playback shortcuts. If the app is not recognized, settings can be changed with the company's Flow desktop app.

The mouse can replace a trackpad, macro pad or streaming controller. It also offers a smartphone-sized keyboard alternative with swipe typing. Other features include reminders when synced with Google Calendar, voice-to-text processed locally on the device, multiple user profiles, focus timers and productivity tracking. A gyroscope lets users control slideshows or scrub video by moving the mouse.

The device is not wireless: it has no rechargeable battery and draws power from a USB-C port, so it must always stay connected to the computer.
