HP to Release Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse/Select Link-5 Accessories in June

From DailyTech:
HP is releasing a new, complete lineup of wireless devices supplied with Wi-Fi capability and Link-5 technology in an effort to increase user experience and convenience.

Mobility is a feature that is gaining more importance in the growing field of technology, and HP is looking to meet user's needs by offering a line of wireless accessories. The newest addition to the wireless family the HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse; it is the first mouse to connect to a PC without a USB dongle or Bluetooth. Instead, it connects via a built-in Wi-Fi receiver within the PC.

The HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse is capable of connecting to a user's PC through the integrated Wi-Fi adaptor. After pairing the mouse for the first time, it will continue to connect to the computer automatically. HP's new mobile mouse also features a nine-month battery life, full functionality up to 30 feet from the computer, five customizable buttons for creating shortcuts like copy and paste, and a four-way scroll wheel that can scroll up, down, left and right.

In addition to the Wi-Fi mouse, HP is also releasing new PC accessories for its Link-5 technology, which allows users to connect as many as five HP-compatible computer accessories with one receiver using 2.4-GHz wireless technology. The new accessories include the HP Wireless Mini Keyboard, the Wireless Ultrathin Wireless Keyboard, the Wireless Elite v2 Keyboard, the Wireless Optical Comfort Mouse, the Wireless Laser Comfort Mouse and the Wireless Mobile Mouse.

Each Link-5 accessory connects to a receiver through a "connect" button on the device, and does not require software or drivers to install.

"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 of Accessories, Personal Systems Group, at 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."
