Summary

  • $79.99 is the price of Microsoft's second-generation Surface Mouse, which starts shipping on October 13 with haptic feedback and a new customizable action button.
  • The button is designed for quick Copilot access but can be remapped in the Surface app, while the haptics work across Windows 11 actions such as clicks, drags and alignment.
  • Bluetooth 6.0 lets the mouse pair with up to three devices, and Microsoft says a redesign with soft-touch material improves comfort for all-day use.
  • 2016 was the last time Microsoft updated the Surface Mouse; the new model arrives alongside refreshed 12-inch Surface Pro and 13-inch Surface Laptop devices as Windows 11 haptic support expands.
