I was quite surprised to receive my HP mouse that I was using with my brand new HP computer and learned that I would have to use a wireless USB plugin to do so. Certainly not, I thought. I have been using a Microsoft Surface for the past couple of years and using a wireless Microsoft mouse with it that didn't require any USB plugins (a precious commodity on a laptop these days). Nope, HP doesn't make a mouse, even when using it in a native HP environment, that doesn't require a USB wireless receiver. Clearly, Microsoft is leading the way in mobile computing.
It is a great wireless mouse for the right price! It is quiet and it doesn't stress my hand when in use. I wasn't quite sure about it because I wanted a silver one to match my new laptop, but this is perfect!
