Arctic Fox has introduced the Super Mouse (AFSM2601), a wired mouse that combines conventional pointer controls with a touchscreen, offline voice dictation, gyroscope input, and customizable shortcuts. The device targets Windows and macOS users who want quicker access to productivity tools and system functions without constantly switching between the mouse, keyboard, and desktop applications.
The Super Mouse is available in Divine Yellow, Cloud White, and Drone Gray, with Kickstarter pledges starting at $199.
The mouse features a 3.1-inch color LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 × 720 pixels. Positioned beneath the user’s palm, the display serves as a control panel for applications, shortcuts, and everyday utilities. It also supports haptic feedback to confirm interactions with its controls. The physical layout keeps the familiar left and right mouse buttons, an ultra-smooth scroll wheel, and two additional buttons that Arctic Fox’s Flow Desktop app lets you program.
Through the Flow Desktop app, users can assign commands, create macros, and configure application-specific shortcuts. The touchscreen also supports touchpad and swipe-keyboard modes, offering alternative input methods. Users can create workspace shortcuts to open multiple frequently used browser tabs or applications with a single action.
Another feature is onboard voice dictation, which Arctic Fox says processes speech locally rather than sending it to cloud services. This approach is intended to help protect dictated content while allowing users to enter text without typing. The integrated gyroscope adds another input option, letting users tilt the mouse to control compatible applications. Potential uses include navigating large spreadsheets and controlling games or other software that supports gyro input.
The touchscreen also provides access to a clipboard, calculator, and event calendar with Google Calendar integration. Users can adjust system volume and screen brightness directly from the mouse, reducing the need to navigate desktop menus.
Measuring 109 × 91 × 29 mm and weighing 95 grams, the Arctic Fox Super Mouse combines several functions in a single peripheral. However, the manufacturer has not provided details about the sensor, polling rate, cable specifications, or long-term software support. These details will help determine how the device compares with conventional productivity mice and gaming models.
The Arctic Fox Super Mouse is available to back on Kickstarter, with pledges starting at $199. The company has not confirmed its final retail price or wider availability.
