“Most Fun” at CES 2026
In its round-up of the best new technology at CES 2026, The Verge singled out the MinVerse haptic mouse as the show’s “Most Fun” technology. The verdict came after hands-on time at Haply’s booth — the kind of demo where the reaction is usually an involuntary grin.
Feeling digital interactions
The MinVerse lets users feel their digital work through true force feedback: sculpting a surface in 3D produces resistance, texture, and weight under the hand. In the demos, visitors worked inside Geomagic Freeform and felt virtual clay respond like the real thing.
Haptics beyond the lab
The recognition matters because of what the MinVerse represents: force-feedback hardware at a desktop price and form factor. Haply’s push is to make haptics accessible beyond specialized labs — putting touch into the daily toolkit of designers, artists, and engineers.
