Arctic Fox Technologies has introduced the Super Mouse, a peripheral device that incorporates a touchscreen display as its central feature. The device positions a 3.1-inch, 720 x 720 resolution touchscreen beneath traditional mouse controls, including a pair of buttons and a scroll wheel, along with two customizable keys designated as “hyper keys.”
The Super Mouse aims to consolidate multiple input devices into one peripheral, potentially replacing macro pads, trackpads, streaming controllers, or even keyboard inputs depending on user preference. The touchscreen functions as a context-aware interface that automatically adjusts its display based on the active application. When working in video editing software such as Adobe Premiere, for instance, the screen shows relevant editing and playback controls. Users can customize the interface through a desktop application called Flow for workflows or unsupported applications.
The touchscreen can display up to 16 customizable shortcuts, macros, or application launchers through its “Control Panel” feature. Additional functionality includes calendar integration with Google Calendar for event reminders, locally processed voice-to-text capability, multiple user profiles, focus timers, and productivity tracking tools. The device incorporates a gyroscope for alternative input methods, allowing users to control presentations or perform video scrubbing through mouse movement rather than traditional clicking.
The Super Mouse is currently available through Kickstarter crowdfunding at a discounted preorder price of $199, with standard retail pricing set at $249. Deliveries are expected to begin in February 2027. Unlike many competing products that integrate touchscreen technology into mice at a smaller scale, such as Turtle Beach’s Command Series MC7, the Super Mouse provides a larger display footprint. However, the device requires a USB-C connection for power, meaning users cannot operate it wirelessly and must maintain a constant tether to their computer.
