HP X4000B Review

The HP X4000b is a wireless mouse that relies solely on Bluetooth connectivity. On the other hand, the HP X3000, also wireless, relies on a nano receiver for connectivity. Both mice have a scroll wheel, but only the X4000b comes equipped with a laser sensor. The X3000 makes use of an optical sensor instead, and both have a resolution of 1600 dpi. An alternative, similar to the X3000 but with a longer battery life, is the X3000 G2. Read more about the HP X3000 G2 wireless mouse review here.

The HP X4000b outshines the HP Z3700 with the number of buttons it is fitted with. The former has three buttons while the Z3700 has only two. Meanwhile, the Z3700 has a more low profile design with a height of only 1 inch to the X4000b’s 1.52 inches. Similarly, the X4000b runs on one battery more than the Z3700, however, that only showcases the prowess of the Z3700 as its battery lasts for up to sixteen months. See the HP Z3700 wireless mouse review for an in-depth review.

The Logitech M535 is similar to the HP X4000b, as they both have an ambidextrous, ergonomic design. Both mice come with three standard buttons. However, unlike the HP X4000b, the Logitech M535 has a tilting scroll wheel. Although the Logitech and the HP have laser sensors, the latter performs better on most surfaces, while the X4000b does not perform well on reflective surfaces.

Contrary to the HP X4000b, the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort has a programmable button on its side. However, it is a right-handed only mouse model, while the X4000b accommodates left and right-hand use. Although designed specifically for Windows users, it can be paired with any Mac that has Bluetooth connectivity, as can the X4000b.
