ASUS is releasing an aromatherapy mouse with a 'refillable fragrance vial'

The ASUS Fragrance Mouse is a new ergonomic productivity mouse for laptops and PCs. Thanks to its "power-saving technology," it offers a year's worth of control from a single AA battery. This is an impressive feature, but the mouse's Fragrance side makes it stand out. It features an "internal fragrance compartment."

This refillable and removable vial holds aromatic oils, giving the mouse a personalized scent that can be swapped out for different fragrances. An aromatherapy mouse was not something we expected to see from ASUS this week (or any other week), and this isn't an early April Fools.

Outside of the pleasant-smelling features, the ASUS Fragrance Mouse's ergonomic shape includes a comfortable grip, "gently-curved thumb rest," and PTFE feet for a smooth glide. The switches feature a low-noise design and boast a 10-million-click lifespan, and the ASUS Fragrance Mouse supports both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth.

There's also lighting in the form of an underglow, which ASUS describes as "delicate." On the underside, there's a DPI switch and pair button, a wireless and power switch, and a battery cover for the single AA battery to power the mouse, the USB dongle, and the fragrance vial.

Available in Iridescent White or Rose Clay, it also supports an adjustable DPI of up to 2400 (with 1200 and 1600 modes), which means it's not really designed for gaming - not that an ASUS Fragrance Mouse would be. There's no price or release date for this yet, other than word that it will be released sometime in late April or early May 2025.
