The HP X7000 Wi-Fi touch mouse jumps on to the wireless peripherals scenario with an interesting design to go with the performance it aims to deliver. The accessory claims 9 months of battery life along with 6 integrated buttons that include a dedicated Facebook key for users who are very taken with this SNS.
Additionally, the other 5 buttons on the device can be customized and assigned to work as shortcuts. The computer’s built-in Wi-Fi would suffice to have this device up and running minus the requirement of a wireless router. This would free up a USB port, leaving it to be used by another peripheral and at the same time, eliminate the hassle of wires.
What’s more, the device can be expected to work on just about any surface, though it does seem designed only for right-handed users. Social networking butterflies ought to fall for the Facebook button which can land them on the social networking site with just a single click.
The design replaces a scroll wheel with a touch strip that only allows for scrolling. Those expecting the touch strip to do more than that, may want to look another way. Another downer to prospective users may be its ability to only pair up with PCs which run the Microsoft Windows 7 OS. Those using anything older than the aforementioned OS version will have to give this one a pass.
The HP X7000 Wi-Fi touch mouse price tag reads $59.99 (approx. Rs. 3,050) and it is now available for purchase on the company’s official website.
