Set up

To get set up, you’ll need a PC that’s running Windows 11 or Windows 10 with support for Bluetooth 4.0 or higher.

Advanced features, including the action button and AI experiences, require Windows 11.

This mouse supports Swift Pair in Windows for faster pairing.

Connect your mouse

Pair with the first device:

1. If the mouse has never been paired, turning on the mouse will place it in pairing mode. The first pairing light will blink slowly. If the first device slot has been paired before, press and hold the pairing button on the bottom of the mouse for 3 seconds or more to enter pairing mode. The pairing light will blink slowly.

2. On your Windows PC, select Connect if a notification appears for your mouse, then wait for setup to finish. Don’t see the notification? Follow the steps below to connect your mouse through Settings.

• Windows 11: Go to Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Add device > Bluetooth > Surface Mouse 2nd Edition > Done.
• Windows 10: Go to Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices > Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth > Surface Mouse 2nd Edition > Done.

Pair with more devices:

1. Press the pairing button on the bottom of the mouse to select a second or third device slot and then release it.

   • If the selected slot has never been paired, the mouse automatically enters pairing mode, and the pairing light blinks slowly.
   • If the selected slot has been paired before, the pairing light blinks quickly as the mouse tries to reconnect. To pair the slot with a new device, press and hold the pairing button for 3 seconds or more. The mouse enters pairing mode and the pairing light blinks slowly.

2. When a notification for your mouse appears, select Connect, then wait for setup to finish. If you don't see a notification, open Settings and follow the pairing steps in the section above.

What is advanced haptics?

Advanced haptics in Surface devices use precision-controlled vibrations to create tactile feedback you can feel. Whether you’re resizing windows, editing a video, or aligning objects and images, you’ll be guided by the haptic feedback on Surface Mouse. As soon as you complete an action, you’ll feel a vibration in your hand that gives you added confirmation.

What you’ll notice

• Instant confirmation — a light vibration the moment an action completes.
• Precision — feedback is tied to on-screen actions such as snapping windows or aligning objects.
• Personalization — tune the strength of the vibration to match your preference (see below).

Learn more about haptics design and implementation.

Configuring haptics

You can adjust the intensity of the haptic vibrations to your liking:

1. Open Settings and select Bluetooth & devices.
2. Select Mouse.
3. Select Haptic signals to open the Signal intensity slider, and then choose your desired intensity.
