HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse
13.06.11
The HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse ($49.99 direct) offers a way to connect your device to your computer in a way we haven't really seen before: The mouse latches on to your PC's Wi-Fi signal. Most other wireless mice connect via Bluetooth, an option not featured on all laptops , or via USB dongle, a more universal solution. The HP Mobile Mouse has the benefit of not taking up any USB ports and being able to communicate to all laptops that were manufactured within the last 5 years. However, this technology is still buggy as I would occasionally lose my mouse's signal in the middle of navigating.
Design
The HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse has a very business design: Its primary colors consisting of dark blue, silver, and black. It has a glossy plastic finish on top and soft rubberized sides for easy gripping. A browser button sits on either side. The scroll wheel has a clicking-free solution, meaning there's no ratchet, but unlike the Logitech Marathon Mouse M705 ($49.99 direct, 4.5 stars), the HP Mobile Mouse doesn't allow for hyper-fast scrolling with one flick. There's also vertical scrolla nice added feature, especially if you're navigating on a netbook.
