This Touchscreen Mouse: An Over-Engineering Nightmare

The Turtle Beach Command Series MC7, a $160 wireless gaming mouse, features a 2.25-inch touch display on the left side, making accidental brushes with users’ thumbs a concern. This display functions like a built-in Stream Deck, offering customizable commands for macros, apps, and OBS controls, reminiscent of the MacBook Pro Touch Bar. The MC7 includes dual swappable 1,000mAh batteries providing up to 10 hours of usage, or 15 hours with lighting disabled. Alongside the MC7, Turtle Beach introduced two more mice without touchscreens and two keyboards with displays: the $200 KB7 TKL Hall-Effect wired keyboard with a 4.3-inch display replacing the numpad, and the $150 KB5 wired mechanical keyboard with a 2.4-inch display above the numpad. The products are available for preorder, with global keyboard availability starting in May and mice in July.
