Computer mice are a familiar tool to almost any computer user, and HP mice offer ergonomic point-and-click capabilities as well as extra buttons and controls that support more advanced interactivity. These products come in a variety of sizes that meet the needs of both laptop and desktop users, and they offer a choice of either wired or wireless connections. Most of these devices are compatible with both Microsoft Windows and Apple OSX, and many come in a variety of colors, so they fit into any home or office setting. Staples carries a complete line of HP pointing devices.
Precise and Accurate Tracking
Most modern mice use light or lasers reflected off the tabletop or desk to track the movement, so they offer exceptionally accurate positioning and eliminate moving parts such as mouse balls. Optical mice provide sufficient accuracy for most users, up to 1600 counts per inch, but gamers may prefer an HP mouse with a laser sensor. These devices offer sensitivity up to 8200 counts per inch, and many gaming mice also have adjustable sensitivity so users can tune them to match their personal preferences and the games they're playing.
A Comfortable Grip and Ergonomic Controls
When choosing an HP mouse, consider both its size and its shape. Small mice are ideal for travelers or students who need to pack their pointer away in a laptop bag or backpack, but larger models often provide a more comfortable feel. Mice with curved buttons and sides support an ergonomic hand position that reduces fatigue, and models with textured surfaces prevent slippage. While some mice are shaped to serve the needs of right-handed users, others are symmetrical and can be used with either hand.
Almost all mice have the standard two-button control layout, and most have additional control options. Extra buttons, including side-mounted buttons within easy reach of your thumb, provide convenient access to commonly used program features or game macros, and a top-mounted wheel lets you scroll through text documents or web content quickly. Some HP products have up to six buttons, enough to satisfy the needs of demanding gamers or power users.
Flexible Connectivity
Modern mice use one of three methods to make a connection. Wired mice use a USB port and a thin cable to transmit pointer information. Since they draw power from the computer, wired mice don't need batteries. Wireless mice use either a Bluetooth signal or a small radio transceiver that plugs into a USB port. An HP wireless mouse offers excellent portability and can work with a computer up to 30 feet away, but Bluetooth models do require a Bluetooth-compatible computer. Many HP wireless products have power switches that conserve battery life when they're not in use, and some radio-based models have storage built into the mouse body for the transceiver so it doesn't get lost.
HP mice combine practical ergonomic features with excellent sensitivity and accuracy and varied connection options. They meet the needs of casual home users, business travelers or demanding gamers. Shop the range of HP products available at Staples to find the pointing device that's right for you.
