HP Bluetooth PC Card Mouse

HP Bluetooth PC Card Mouse

Frazier Barretto, Jun 14, 2007 1900 hrs IST

After long workout sessions, this mouse has finally lost the flab; enough to complement your notebook wirelessly. Slim could be nice, probably this went the anorexic lane.

Innovative Design, PCMCIA charging.

No scroll, Bad ergonomics, Lack of Accuracy, Expensive.

Layout

The shape of HP's Bluetooth Card mouse looks like a fish's tail fin. It is a simple two button mouse and doesn't have a scroll wheel. At the centre of the top side, just at the edge there is a Bluetooth light which indicates whether the mouse is connected or not. Blue blinking indicates Bluetooth connected, while Red blinking signifies otherwise. At the end of the mouse is the connecting point of the mouse to the PCMCIA slot. It is this point through which the mouse's rechargeable batteries energize.

At the bottom of the mouse there is a separate optical lens and optical sensor. A little lower than that is the mouse pairing button. The mouse pairing button is really tiny and requires a pin to be clicked.


Towards the lower end there is a kickstand tab, it is also the on/off switch of the mouse. Opening the kickstand tab powers the mouse on while closing it turns it off. This causes a lot of irritation, which I will explain in the next part.

After long workout sessions, this mouse has finally lost the flab; enough to complement your notebook wirelessly. Slim could be nice, probably this went the anorexic lane.

I disagree with the review. Yes, a scroll option would have been nice, but if you're "leaning" on a mouse while working, you are not at a correct working position. This will most likely make you prone to develop RSI. This design, if used correctly, allows you to let your hand stay in a naturally curved position. I like this product. I'm not linked to HP in any way.

Hi, I think we need to look at it as a product of innovation. Believe me i have bought one & using it too. Its amazing & really does its bit & removes the hazzles of a wired mouse. There is nothing to feel weird aboyt its looks when performance matters. Like a new car design in the market I am sure after this every other Manufacturer will start following HP. As the word goes " Only the winner is followed"

You are kidding me ! Which stupid manufacturer will follow this design ? It costs so much, it has pathetic ergonomics and you get far cheaper wireless mice which actually have a scroll wheel.

Hi,Dont think this device would be compatible with the latest notbeooks as they come with a Express card slot,can be used as only on Systems using PCMCIA card slot.Too late to showcase this product,would say HP has failed to compete with the latest technology:(

True, it is definitely a product of innovation (but at what cost) - I am currently using Microsoft's wireless Keyboard and Mouse (optical and looks cute) and am quite satisfied with its performance. Of course its range is just about 6 feet, but hey - who's gonna need 10 m range. And this thing (both multimedia Keyboard and the Mouse) just costed me just 1500/- bucks...
