McDonald's and Lenovo have launched a limited-edition wireless mouse made from fast-food waste. Designed for collectors and gamers seeking novelty with clear eco-benefits, the Fry Mark is important as it highlights how big brands are giving new life to old packaging and toys as functional tech.
The limited-edition wireless mouse features a fries-box design and recycled materials
The Fry Mark wireless mouse is inspired by the McDonald's French fries box design. It can be connected to your computer using Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz USB dongle or USB cable. It offers 3 sensitivity levels. Unfortunately, we don't know what kind of sensor it uses.
Specifications
- Material: Over 60% recycled plastic from old Happy Meal toys
- Battery: 380 mAh integrated unit
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz USB dongge, or USB cable
- Sensitivity: 3 adjustable levels
- Packaging: Plastic-free cardboard with multifunctional fabric bag
Only 4,000 Fry Mark mouse units will be available worldwide. Over 60% of the plastic housing comes from Happy Meal toys melted down. It has an integrated 380mAh battery that works in wireless and wired mode.
McDonald's is delivering the Fry Mark mouse in plastic-free cardboard packaging. It comes with a multifunctional fabric bag that turns into a mouse pad. It was available in China only. Cost: 99 CNY (~$14.81) and 18 McDonald's Member Points.
As you might've guessed, the Fry Mark mouse sold out very quickly since its release on October 22. This proves high interest in the limited edition drop. So if you're after branded peripherals, keep in mind this particular one is gone.

Sold out already. The recycled Happy Meal plastic angle is clever marketing.
