This touchscreen mouse is my over-engineering nightmare

Turtle Beach’s latest collection of PC peripherals are so focused around touchscreen displays that the company even slapped one on a gaming mouse. The $160 wireless Command Series MC7 features a 2.25-inch touch display bar on the left side of the mouse, which seems to be located in just the right position for users to worry about accidentally hitting it with their thumbs.

The display bar is designed to function like a built-in Stream Deck, allowing users to assign customizable commands for macros, apps, and OBS controls. It also brings to mind the infamous MacBook Pro Touch Bar, which was easy to accidentally hit while typing until the feature was retired by Apple in 2023. The MC7 mouse also includes dual hot-swappable 1,000mAh batteries that each provide up to 10 hours of use, or up to 15 hours with lighting features disabled.

This is one of several Command Series products announced by Turtle Beach, including two other mice that lack integrated touchscreens, and two keyboards that do include displays. The $200 KB7 TKL Hall-Effect wired keyboard features a larger 4.3-inch display in place of the usual right-hand numpad, while the $150 KB5 wired mechanical keyboard has a 2.4-inch touchscreen sitting above the numpad instead.

The full lineup is available for preorder now, with the keyboards available globally starting in May and the mice following in July.
