Hi,
I bought this mouse about a week back and these are the features I wanna mention about this mouse.
1) It is very light weight
2) Its sensitivity can be configured with the help of a HP Suite which can be installed on your laptops with the help of a CD they provide. This I feel is the best thing about this mouse as I have used many wireless mice until now, and I have not been satisfied with the sensitivity - either too fast or too slow. You can get that just how you want with this mouse.
3) This is not a mouse for any hardcore gamers as it is not quite that big enough and your hands start paining after about 2 hours of gaming. If you are a small time gamer who plays for a little time off then you would not have any problem
4) The rubber grip on the side is pretty good.. gives good grip and feels soft on your hands.
5) The receiver is so small that it does not feel like it really is a separate entity. Great feature again !
6) I have had to turn the mouse off and then on as it stops working intermittently, but once I did that it works fine. It has happened twice - the only glitch for my use. I hope it does not happen too often in the future.

I bought two of these over the past month and a half. Both of them stopped working. The first one started tracking choppy to the point it was impossible to click on small icons. I got it replaced and this one stops tracking entirely, at first about once every half hour, but now literally 2-3x/min requiring me to turn the mouse off and back on. Absolute piece of crap.

My son broke my other mouse, which was a MS brand, so I purchased this one. It was probably around $25 retail. Like some other reviewers have pointed out, it freezes. I have to shut the mouse off and turn it back on to get it to work again. This is even with a brand new battery in it. If the battery is getting low, it's even worse. Speaking of batteries, there is no way a battery will last 7 months in this mouse, unless you keep the thing turned off and never use it. I have to replace the battery a couple times per month. It's very frustrating. To sum up, I hate this mouse, and wish my son would break this one too. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because on the rare occasion it works properly, it does work well. Unfortunately, it isn't reliable. HP should be ashamed and embarrassed to sell this piece of crap. Will never buy HP again.

Love this mouse , you can leave it plugged in usb cause it only sticks out 1/4 in or less. Mouse comfortable in hand, very smooth to use. Has on/off switch so you don't drain battery,etc.

This mouse is incredibly convenient! Not only is the light-weight one battery design a breeze to handle but it also works on almost any surface. I'd definitely recommend this product

Purchased this mouse and worked for a couple of days then it started killing batteries every week, then the scroll wheel stopped working, this item is garbage. got credit and threw in the trash. shame on HP for selling this type of inferior product!!

I just bought this mouse a week ago and so far I like it. It is a perfect size. The usb sensor is tiny so you dont have to worry about moving it when you pack up your laptop. I would have given it 5 stars but the materials feel a little cheap. It has that "its almost too lightweight" feeling. I feel that if it dropped off my desk on to tile it might break and thats the only reason It didnt get 5 stars(for 22 bucks its hard to expect more). It definetly works on more surfaces than my old Microsoft wireless mouse I was using so overall I am pleased with this purchase.

I like this mouse as the wireless reciever has a small profile and the mouse itself fits nicely in my hand. However, the one item that bugs me is that the scroll wheel seems to stick in one spot instead of being smooth all the way around. I am not sure if this is typical of this product or if I just got the lucky one. This isn't a huge problem, just minorly anoying when I am scrolling down a long webpage.

Update ~ September 22, 2011
I purchased this mouse in March 2011. I noted in my original review that the scroll wheel seemed to stick a little bit. Well, it went from minorly anoying to irritating and I have pretty much stopped using it. And I think the scroll wheel is on its last leg and wont be working much longer anyways. The other thing that has stuck out in my mind is that it seems to go through batteries more often then it seems like it should. I have only had the mouse for 6 months and have already lost track of how many replacement batteries I have gone through.

This mouse performs all tasks... That is the only positive statement that can be made.

It is a cheaply built device.I would not recommend buying this mouse.

After using the HP 2.4 GHz Wireless Optical Mobile Mouse for only 3 weeks the tracking wheel on top stopped working. Was extremely disappointed.
