    Hi have someone try the new HP WIFI Wireless Mouse? The one that use the Wlan to conect to the Computer?

    How those it work? have any problems? Conect Flawless?
    How the range? have any problem when you connect the laptop to a N-Wifi and the mouse at the same time?

    And the batteries? What batteries use? How long they last?

    It sound to good becouse you dont need nothing more than the wlan and that is good for the laptop battery life but dont know if it is so good to change my razer Orochi that work via bluetooth.??

    PD. I ask all this because I have never use it and I can't find it in local store so I will have to buy online and you know how upset :nah: is to return to some online retailers if you dont like the product...

    if you're experiencing wake up freeze with Orochi and feel annoyed = anything is better :p

    for hp wifi mouse personally I havent tried it,
    you can find reviews in cnet and hp website

    claimed 9 months battery life sounds good, and they say you can use mouse and wifi network at the same time with no problem.

    the downsides for me are the side button placement, non-clicky scrollwheel,
    and compatibility (it only works on win7 and need microsoft certified wifi adapter to work well.)

    personally I won't bother with this yet and get a good usb wireless mouse.
    there are usb hubs for those who need ports unless they have no usb port at all :D

    +1 to this.

    Just because a mouse uses a "newer" connectivity technology, does not mean it is better.

    2.4Ghz wireless technology is still, by far, the best performing connectivity option for wireless mice. It is superior to Bluetooth, and it is superior to WiFi.
