Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, HP ha annunciato il primo mouse wireless al mondo, denominato HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse, il cui collegamento con il computer non richiede una interfaccia USB, tecnicamente indicata come "dongle", che assicuri la ricezione del segnale inviato dalla device di input, ma un controller Wi-Fi che ormai da anni è incluso nella maggior parte dei sistemi notebook e in buona parte di quelli desktop.

HP è riuscita a lanciare un prodotto di questo tipo con l'ausilio della connettività Wi-Fi, pienamente supportata dal mouse, e della tecnologia proprietaria HP Link-5.

Tra i vantaggi offerti da una soluzione di questo tipo, oltre al non utilizzo e conseguente ingombro delle porte USB (un simile aspetto è cruciale nel caso in cui le device USB siano numerose, ndr), vi sono la maggiore durata della batteria (fino a 9 volte superiore alla durata di quelle che equipaggiano i mouse wireless convenzionali che utilizzano Bluetooth, afferma HP) e l'ampliamento del raggio d'azione (il mouse può essere utilizzato fino a oltre 9m dal PC).

Il nuovo HP Wireless Mobile Mouse sarà lanciato a giugno negli U.S. con un MSRP pari a $24.99.

HP today announced a new lineup of wireless accessories equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity and HP Link-5 technology to promote mobility and ease of use. Products such as the company's exclusive HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse allow users to do more without the hassle of wires and with the assurance of extended battery life.

"HP offers its customers a wide variety of accessories that are simple to use with connectivity options to meet their unique needs," said Scott Pappan, director, Accessories, Personal Systems Group, HP. "For consumers who desire PCs that are light and small but offer fewer USB ports, or for those who use their PCs in multiple settings, options like Wi-Fi and Link-5 allow users to keep USB ports free for other devices."


Industry's first Wi-Fi mouse
The new HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse is the first mouse to connect quickly and easily without a USB dongle via a PC's built-in Wi-Fi receiver.
