Manufacturer description

Stay connected without the dongle. The HP 240 Bluetooth Mouse pairs over Bluetooth 5.1, so you free up a USB port on a laptop, tablet, or mini PC and still get the longer, steadier link that the newer radio standard brings. Tracking comes from an optical sensor tuned to 1600 DPI, which is enough resolution to follow quick wrist flicks across a spreadsheet, a browser, or a retro emulator front end without the pointer skating past its target. The shape is ambidextrous and slim, with three buttons and a scroll wheel, so left-handed users get the same grip as everyone else and there is no unused…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the HP 240 need a USB receiver?

No. It connects over Bluetooth 5.1 directly to your device, so there is no dongle and no USB port used. Your computer or tablet needs its own Bluetooth radio.

What DPI does this mouse track at?

The optical sensor runs at 1600 DPI. That figure is fixed for this model, so there is no DPI toggle button to cycle sensitivity on the fly.

Is the HP 240 good for left-handed users?

Yes. HP designed it with an ambidextrous shell, so the grip is symmetrical and the three buttons and scroll wheel sit in the same place regardless of which hand you use.

How many buttons does it have?

Three buttons plus a scroll wheel. There are no side or thumb buttons, so macros and browser back/forward shortcuts are not available.

Is this mouse worth it at around 13 dollars?

It is strong for a basic Bluetooth mouse. Check the listing for the current price, since it changes often.
