On the day Apple unveils its first touchscreen Mac, a startup launches a Kickstarter campaign for a touchscreen mouse compatible with Mac and PC. The Super Mouse features a 3.1-inch touchscreen supporting app-specific shortcuts, a mini multi-touch trackpad, and customizable hardware buttons. Priced at $199 on Kickstarter with retail starting at $249, the project aims to ship in February 2027. The device allows users to configure shortcuts per application via a companion app for macOS and Windows. It includes customizable Hyper Keys for triggering entire workflows and can transform into a multi-touch trackpad with a double-tap. The mouse can display content directly on its screen and access a swipe keyboard. While presented as a way to add touch capabilities to Macs, the product faces skepticism regarding its necessity.
Kickstarter pricing is $199, with retail pricing set to start at $249. The project is currently live on Kickstarter, with a funding deadline of December 8th. Shipping is set for February 2027. We of course include the usual cautions that Kickstarter projects can fail and shipping dates can slip. The perfect way to add a touchscreen to a Mac, or a solution in search of a problem? Let us know in the comments.
