Microsoft’s new Surface Mouse features haptic feedback and a customizable action button

Microsoft has announced the upcoming launch of its second-generation Surface Mouse, scheduled for release next month. The updated peripheral introduces haptic feedback technology, providing users with tactile responses during operation. A significant addition to this model is a dedicated, customizable action button. While the button is pre-configured to provide quick access to Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant, users can remap it to perform various other shortcuts through the official Surface app. This hardware refresh aims to enhance productivity and user experience by integrating more intuitive controls into the standard desktop mouse form factor. The device continues Microsoft's trend of embedding AI-centric features directly into its hardware ecosystem, ensuring that users have immediate access to the company's generative AI tools. Pricing and specific regional availability details are expected to be confirmed closer to the official launch date.
