HP Wired Gaming Mouse, PC Gaming Mice, High Performance Mouse Gamer with Optical Sensor, 3 Buttons, 7 Color LED for Computer Notebook Laptop Office Home

I got this because it was the cheapest name brand mouse I could find. When I first opened the box, I was immediately thinking I was going to return it. It was really lightweight, the buttons were loud, and there was a rattle like there was something loose inside. I decided to try it out anyway. I'm using this for my work laptop and it is replacing the basic mouse that comes with a Dell laptop. Once I felt it on the mousepad, I changed my mind. It was smooth and accurate and felt really good in my hand. I'm not thrilled at the DPI settings, as it is still a little slow, but it works and works well.

Sometimes you just need a budget wired mouse to keep around as an emergency replacement or to keep in a computer travel bag. Sure, the wire is a little inconvenient but so is a battery going dead in a wireless mouse. This budget HP mouse came in at around $12 dollars and works just fine. The quality is great, it has decorative lighting and it works well with all of the office programs I run on the notebook and desktop computer. It has a large footprint, but I appreciate that because I have large hands. The LED lighting helps me locate it and place my hand correctly if I'm moving rapidly between the keyboard and the mouse. For the low price and good, solid quality, I can easily recommend this mouse for routine use or just as an emergency backup. The price is probably as low as it is because it requires a standard USB port to connect (not USB C), but that doesn't seem to be an issue because all of my computing devices still have regular USB ports available or adapters with USB ports.

I built a new PC and couldn't get my first choice (Cougar 230m) so I went with this. I wanted a simple 3 button mouse with dpi adjustment that I could use for gaming. The 230m has been discontinued so I was forced to get this. The mouse is cheap, the materials used are cheap, the mouse feels light and cheap; as if clicking too hard will break it. And the dpi keeps fluctuating. Very disappointing. HP's standards have fallen tremendously over the years and this is an example of that.

The fact that is is big is perfect for my big hands.
