HP WiFi Mobile Mouse Review

Computer Act!ve say HP's WiFi Mobile Mouse can be used comfortably with either hand and can fit into your laptop bag. Battery power is conserved when the mouse isn't used for an extended time but takes almost 10 seconds to wake up. The pointer doesn't move as smoothly as other wireless mice, it's not effective on all surfaces and can feel sluggish, so isn't the best purchase.

Value for money: 4.5 out of 5 stars

PC Advisor liked the concept, and they found that HP's Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse worked well. They weren't huge fans of the symmetrical design, but with a nice-feeling finish it was comfortable to use, and although small, it felt solidly built. Unfortunately, it's no use for Mac and XP users, but they say Windows 7 users are in for quite a treat.

HP's WiFi Mobile Mouse has several advantages over traditional wireless mice: it doesn't need a dongle, so it won't take up a valuable USB port, and its battery life is much better than that of Bluetooth variants. IT Reviews found it comfortable to hold and use and only criticised its lack of support for Macs, since for the moment, HP's connection application is a Windows-only affair.

ZDNet found that the HP Wi-Fi mobile mouse worked pleasingly well. Though they felt that its overall design was a bit mundane, they were still happy with how simple it was to set up and operate. In terms of performance, reviewers discovered that it was both sensitive and responsive, and functioned quite nicely for everyday use. However, they did note that it was a bit small.
