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

Microsoft is launching a second generation of its Surface Mouse next month that includes haptic feedback support. The Surface Mouse also has a customizable action button for the first time, which is primarily designed for quick access to Copilot (of course), but can be configured to work with other shortcuts from the Surface app.

“Its haptic feedback adds a small, purposeful physical response to the moment you usually only see on a screen: a click registering, a window snapping into place or an object aligning just right,” says Brett Ostrum, corporate vice president of Surface Devices. “It is subtle by design, but noticeable within seconds — and hard to give up once you have it.”
