Overview
- Microsoft announced the Surface Mouse (2nd Edition) on Wednesday and said it will go on sale October 13, 2026, priced at $79.99 in black and platinum.
- The mouse uses an internal vibration motor to deliver haptic pulses for clicks, window snapping and supported app actions, and it adds a dedicated Action Button that summons Copilot by default and can be reassigned in the Microsoft Surface app.
- Hardware details include Bluetooth 6.0 with three‑device switching, an ambidextrous soft‑touch body made with about 30% recycled content, and two AAA batteries Microsoft rates for up to six months of use.
- Advanced features depend on Windows 11 system haptics and app integration, so customization and full haptic behavior require the Surface app and developer support which varies by application and region.
- The mouse arrives as part of a broader Surface refresh that includes Snapdragon X2 Plus Surface Pro and Laptop models and the Ink Canvas app, a move that boosts local Copilot AI on devices but also raises base PC specs and prices and tightens ties to Microsoft’s ecosystem.
