HooSpark

Swapping between a mouse, a stylus and a slide remote is a familiar bit of desk friction. HooSpark's pitch is to replace all three with a single pen-shaped device. The maker gives its size as 13cm and its weight as under 20g, small enough to carry in a pocket, and positions it for creators, educators and professionals.

A mouse that works off the desk

According to the maker, a high-precision optical sensor lets HooSpark track the cursor on a desk, a lap, glass or even fabric, with no mouse pad required. Left click, right click, double click and scrolling are handled through a combination of buttons and gestures. The slim, pencil-like grip is described as ergonomic; the maker says the shape was refined based on user feedback to keep the hand in a natural position and claims it helps prevent the repetitive strain sometimes called "mouse hand."

Stylus and AI voice features

For drawing and editing, the campaign lists 1600 DPI mouse tracking, 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and tilt detection, which the maker says deliver pixel-level precision on surfaces ranging from glossy screens to matte ones. The AI side uses a licensed iFLYTEK model that the maker describes as award-winning. Voice input is said to support 66 languages and transcribe at 400 words per minute, which the maker compares with typical typing speeds of 40 to 60 words per minute.

• Voice dictation, app control and task management
• Real-time AI chat and AI writing tools
• AI-driven PPT creation
• Intelligent agents for automation
• Customizable modes, including a quick-switch stylus mode for note-taking and vibration feedback during presentations

Connectivity and platforms

HooSpark offers both Bluetooth 5.0 and a 2.4GHz USB connection, the latter pitched by the maker as low-latency and less prone to interference in crowded spaces. It is listed as compatible with Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, with plug-and-play setup. The maker also describes the body as lightweight but sturdy, and says privacy and security were taken into account, though the source gives no detail on either.
