Super Mouse Puts a 3.1‑Inch Touchscreen Under Your Hand

Arctic Fox says the device replaces trackpads and macro pads with a built-in, app-aware touchscreen to speed common desktop tasks for power users.

Overview

  • Arctic Fox unveiled the Super Mouse on Tuesday and opened a Kickstarter preorder campaign that offers an early pledge price of $199 and lists full retail at $249 with estimated deliveries beginning February 2027.
  • The mouse features a 3.1‑inch 720×720 touchscreen beneath the palm that shows app-specific "Control Panels" with up to 16 shortcuts, macros, or launchers that change automatically as you switch applications.
  • Configuration and profiles live in the Flow desktop app for Windows and macOS where users assign shortcuts, set Hyper Keys, and authorize integrations such as Google Calendar for on‑screen reminders.
  • Hardware and input options include two standard buttons, two customizable Hyper Keys, a scroll wheel, a multi‑touch trackpad mode, a virtual swipe keyboard, built‑in microphones with locally processed voice‑to‑text, and a gyroscope for motion controls.
  • The Super Mouse is wired only and draws power over USB‑C, which the company says ensures local processing and lower latency but also creates ergonomic tradeoffs, a desk cable, and the usual Kickstarter delivery risks that could delay shipping.
