Making an attempt to expand the Christmas wish list of several techies across the U.S., the HP X5000 and X4000 mice were made available for purchase. Keeping in mind the preference for everything wireless and hassle free, the peripherals connect with PCs and laptops by means of USB drives.
Sporting similar designs, the bodies of both these accessories are sculpted to appear and feel somewhat different in comparison to other usual mice. The hand as well as finger-rest is enhanced for comfort while in use and the X5000 also shows off a time saving touch scroll, which allows for hyper scrolling and one-touch uploads to Facebook. Incorporated with 2.4GHz connectivity, the aforementioned model can be used within range of up to 30 feet from the synced desktop.
On the other hand, the X4000 employs a laser sensor to work within the same distance, but is more suitable for those who prefer the conventional method of scrolling over touch sensitivity. Embedded with the HP Link-5 technology and a nano receiver, this gadget is capable of connecting to five HP compatible devices simultaneously, probably increasing the productivity quotient. The X5000 employs the same technology to synchronize with up to four devices at a time.
Each of these HP peripherals ship with two AA batteries, a 1 year limited warranty, software, and documentation. Compatible with the Windows XP, Vista or 7 OS, the mice only require USB ports to connect with PCs. The X5000 offers a battery life of 24 months, while the X4000 promises to accompany users through 30 months.
The HP X5000 price is revealed to be $39.99 (approx. Rs. 2,100), while the HP X4000 price tag reads $29.99 (approx. Rs. 1,580). Both can be picked at the official HP shopping website, as picked up on Engadget.
