Misha as a charging case: Honor solved a problem that nobody articulated — but everyone had

Honor Choice MouseBuds Pro is a wireless mouse with ANC headphones housed in its rear compartment. A gadget for those who regularly forget their earbuds at home or carry three devices where one would suffice.

Everyone who works in a cafe, coworking space, or on an airplane knows this moment: the laptop is open, the mouse is connected — and suddenly it turns out that the headphones are at home or dead in a separate case at the bottom of a backpack. Honor built an entire product around this scenario.

What's Inside the Mouse

Honor Choice MouseBuds Pro is a compact wireless mouse whose rear half of the body is a charging case for TWS headphones. As soon as the mouse is connected to a laptop via a USB receiver, the headphones automatically sync with the same device — no separate Bluetooth pairing is required.

The headphones support active noise cancellation (ANC). A notable detail noted by NotebookCheck: they are of a semi-open type — without silicone ear inserts, which is atypical for ANC solutions. This means a compromise: noise cancellation is present, but isolation is weaker than in classic earbuds.

  • Sensor: PixArt, 1200 DPI
  • Switches: TTC quiet, lifespan — 5 million clicks
  • Battery: 1000 mAh, up to 30 days of battery life with typical use
  • Charging: USB-C
  • Surface: excimer coating — resistant to fingerprints

Two Modes, One Button

A switch on the body toggles the device between modes. In computer mode, the mouse and headphones work through the USB receiver as a single device. In smartphone mode, the headphones disconnect from the mouse and connect to the phone via Bluetooth independently — meaning they can be used separately without the mouse.

Price and Availability

As of April 2026, the Honor Choice MouseBuds Pro is available in Germany for €99.90. Sales in the US have not yet started. Honor has not officially announced the launch in other markets.

Where the Catch Is

The concept has a built-in limitation: is the mouse symmetrical or ergonomic? Judging by the photos and Honor UK's description, the body has "ergonomic curves," but this is a travel format — meaning compact, not full-size. For an eight-hour workday at a desk, this could be less comfortable than for a four-hour flight.

Additionally, Honor's 30 days of battery life is calculated using its own Yueme laboratory formula: active mouse use plus one hour of voice calls per day. Real-world use with more frequent calls or music will reduce this figure.

If Honor makes the next generation of MouseBuds with a full-size ergonomic body and improved headphone isolation — will it remain a niche gadget for travelers, or will it become a standard accessory for remote work?

EU Against Google: Why the Latest Fine Could Change More Than Previous Ones

# European Regulators Target Google Again — This Time Over Digital Markets Act Violations. What's Behind the Accusations and Why It Matters Beyond the Corporation European regulators have renewed their scrutiny of Google, this time focusing on alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act. The charges underscore Brussels' increasingly aggressive stance on big tech monopolies and what officials say are anticompetitive practices. The accusations center on how Google leverages its dominance across multiple digital services — from search to advertising to mobile platforms — to disadvantage competitors. Regulators claim the company is using its market power in ways that stifle innovation and limit consumer choice. The case carries significance far beyond Google itself. It signals how the EU is attempting to enforce its landmark Digital Markets Act, legislation designed to curb the gatekeeping power of tech giants. A potential penalty could set precedent for how other large technology companies face similar scrutiny. For consumers and smaller tech firms, the outcome could reshape the digital landscape by creating more room for competition. For Google, fines and operational restrictions could fundamentally alter its business model in Europe, the world's most stringent regulatory market. The case also reflects a broader geopolitical divide, with the EU pursuing a regulatory approach that contrasts sharply with the lighter-touch oversight favored in the United States.
