The action button is primarily configured for quick access to Copilot but can be reconfigured for other shortcuts via the Surface app.
Haptic Feedback Integration
The haptic feedback provides physical responses for actions such as clicks, drags, and window alignment within Windows 11. This tactile feedback also extends to applications like PowerPoint, Affinity, Concepts, and Filmora. Microsoft added haptic feedback support to Windows 11 earlier this year, with Microsoft and Logitech currently supporting it with dedicated hardware.

The new Surface Mouse has been redesigned for improved comfort during extended use, featuring a soft-touch material on top. It now includes Bluetooth 6.0 support, enabling pairing with up to three devices simultaneously. This marks the first update to the Surface Mouse since its initial launch in 2016.
Availability and Pricing
The new Surface Mouse will be available starting October 13th, coinciding with the launch of Microsoft's refreshed Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch devices. It will retail for $79.99 and be offered in black and platinum color options.
