The Super Mouse puts a touchscreen macro pad under your hand
“Super Mouse” 在你的手掌下放置了一个触摸屏宏键盘。
You can launch and control apps, check your calendar, scroll, and even type using the mouse’s 3-inch screen.
你可以使用鼠标的 3 英寸屏幕来启动和控制应用程序、查看日历、滚动页面,甚至进行打字。
A company called Arctic Fox Technologies has announced a new multifunction mouse that forgoes a myriad of customizable shortcut buttons peppered across its surface for a compact touchscreen sitting beneath your hand. The Super Mouse may not prioritize ergonomics with its boxy design, but it can replace other peripherals on your desk, like a trackpad, macro pad, or streaming controller. If you’re faster at typing on your phone, the Super Mouse could potentially even replace a full-size keyboard with a smartphone-sized alternative that even includes swipe typing.
一家名为 Arctic Fox Technologies 的公司宣布推出一款新型多功能鼠标,它放弃了表面上散布的众多可定制快捷键,转而采用了一个位于手掌下方的紧凑型触摸屏。Super Mouse 的方正设计可能并未优先考虑人体工程学,但它可以取代桌面上的其他外设,如触控板、宏键盘或流媒体控制器。如果你在手机上打字更快,Super Mouse 甚至可能通过其智能手机大小的替代方案(包含滑动输入功能)来取代全尺寸键盘。
The Super Mouse is now available for preorder through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in which it’s discounted to $199 for backers, while full retail pricing will be $249. Delivery is expected to start in February 2027, but take that estimate with a grain of salt, as many Kickstarter campaigns have faced unforeseen delays.
Super Mouse 目前已通过 Kickstarter 众筹活动开启预订,支持者可享受 199 美元的优惠价,而正式零售价将为 249 美元。预计交付时间为 2027 年 2 月,但请对这一预估持保留态度,因为许多 Kickstarter 项目都曾面临不可预见的延误。
That price makes the Super Mouse more expensive than other companies’ attempts to merge mice and touchscreens. But while alternatives like Turtle Beach’s Command Series MC7 has just a 2.25-inch narrow display on the side, the Super Mouse features a 3.1-inch, 720 x 720 touchscreen positioned front and center beneath a pair of standard mouse buttons, a scroll wheel, and two customizable “hyper keys.”
这一价格使得 Super Mouse 比其他公司尝试融合鼠标与触摸屏的产品更为昂贵。然而,虽然像 Turtle Beach 的 Command Series MC7 等替代品仅在侧面配备了 2.25 英寸的窄屏,但 Super Mouse 在一对标准鼠标按键、滚轮和两个可定制“超级按键”的正下方,配备了一块 3.1 英寸、720 x 720 分辨率的触摸屏。
The Super Mouse doesn’t include a rechargeable battery and draws all the power it needs from a USB-C port, so using it wirelessly isn’t an option.
Super Mouse 不包含可充电电池,其所需的所有电力均通过 USB-C 接口获取,因此无法实现无线使用。
That touchscreen will be most useful as a way to quickly launch apps through what its creators call a “Control Panel” that can include up to 16 shortcuts, macros, or launchers. The display’s functionality will change contextually and will present relevant shortcuts based on what app you’re using. If you’re working with video in Adobe Premiere, for example, the touchscreen will include editing and playback shortcuts. But if you have a specific workflow need, or the app you’re using isn’t recognized, the Super Mouse’s functionality can be customized using the company’s Flow desktop app.
该触摸屏最实用的功能是通过其创建者所谓的“控制面板”快速启动应用程序,该面板最多可包含 16 个快捷方式、宏或启动器。显示屏的功能会根据上下文发生变化,并根据你正在使用的应用程序呈现相关的快捷方式。例如,如果你正在使用 Adobe Premiere 处理视频,触摸屏将包含编辑和播放快捷键。但如果你有特定的工作流需求,或者所使用的应用程序未被识别,则可以使用该公司的 Flow 桌面应用程序对 Super Mouse 的功能进行自定义。
Other touchscreen features include event and meeting reminders when synced with Google Calendar, voice-to-text capabilities processed locally on the mouse itself, multiple user profiles, focus timers, and productivity tracking. The mouse also includes a gyroscope so you can control slideshows or scrub video by just moving it around. The only feature seemingly missing is the ability to go wireless. Instead of a rechargeable battery, the Super Mouse draws all the power it needs from a USB-C port, so you’ll always need to keep it tethered to your PC.
其他触摸屏功能包括与 Google 日历同步后的活动和会议提醒、在鼠标本地处理的语音转文字功能、多用户配置文件、专注计时器以及生产力跟踪。该鼠标还内置了陀螺仪,因此你只需移动鼠标即可控制幻灯片或快进/快退视频。唯一似乎缺失的功能是无线连接能力。由于没有可充电电池,Super Mouse 的所有电力都来自 USB-C 接口,因此你必须始终将其连接到电脑上使用。
