Microsoft's redesigned Surface Pro and Surface Laptop lineup ships with a mouse and trackpad that use haptic rumble feedback instead of traditional physical clicks. The refreshed devices carry only a handful of new features while priced higher than earlier models.
Microsoft announced a new Surface Mouse that will go on sale October 13 for $80, marking its first update to the accessory since 2016. The device adds haptic feedback that vibrates subtly during clicks, window snapping, and object alignment, plus a customizable action button designed primarily for Copilot use via the Surface app.
Microsoft unveiled a redesigned Surface Mouse at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit, nearly a decade after the original launched in 2016. The new model adds haptic feedback, a customizable Action Button that defaults to launching Copilot, Bluetooth 6.0 multi-device support, and a battery Microsoft says lasts up to six months. It arrives October 13 in Black and Platinum for $79.99, alongside new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop devices.

Alongside the laptop updates, Microsoft introduced a new Surface Mouse featuring haptic feedback.
