1000 DPI Fixed Optical Sensor

The HP X500 Wired USB Optical Mouse uses a fixed 1000 DPI optical sensor that tracks cursor movement by reading reflected light from the surface beneath it. At 1000 DPI on a standard 1080p monitor, the cursor moves at a steady, controlled pace suited to document editing, spreadsheet navigation, web browsing, data entry, and online class use.

1000 DPI is the standard for everyday wired office mice. It gives enough cursor speed to navigate a monitor comfortably without the overshooting that can occur at higher DPI settings during precise tasks such as selecting small text or clicking small interface elements. DPI is fixed and not switchable on this model.

The sensor performs reliably on most standard flat surfaces including wooden desktops, fabric mouse pads, plastic tabletops, and smooth cloth surfaces. It does not track accurately on transparent glass or mirror-finish reflective surfaces. For consistent daily use, a standard fabric or hard surface mouse pad is recommended.

Wired USB Connection – No Batteries, No Interference

The HP X500 Wired USB Optical Mouse connects through a USB-A cable and draws all operating power from the USB port. There are no batteries to replace, no built-in battery to charge, and no wireless receiver to manage. The wired connection delivers a direct, interference-free signal path between the mouse and computer with no transmission latency.

The cable length is 1.5-meter cable.

For users who find wireless battery management inconvenient, or who work in environments where wireless interference from dense Wi-Fi networks is a concern, a wired mouse is the more dependable daily choice. The X500 is always ready when the computer is on and requires no attention between sessions.

Three-Button Layout with Scroll Wheel

The HP X500 Wired USB Optical Mouse has a standard three-button layout: left click, right click, and a center scroll wheel with middle-click function. This covers all routine everyday computing actions including web browsing, document navigation, spreadsheet use, and media playback control.

The scroll wheel handles vertical scrolling through documents and web pages.The scroll wheel is smooth.

There are no side navigation buttons on this model. For users who need browser back and forward thumb buttons as part of their daily workflow, a mouse with a four or five-button layout would be more suitable. For standard office and study tasks, the three-button layout covers everything needed cleanly.

Ambidextrous Design for Left and Right-Handed Users

The HP X500 Wired USB Optical Mouse has a symmetrical ambidextrous body with no right-hand contour, side thumb rest, or asymmetric button placement. This makes it equally usable for left and right-handed users without any adaptation, which is practical for shared computer setups in offices, classrooms, school labs, and family home desks where different users sit at the same workstation.

The lightweight construction keeps hand and wrist fatigue low during extended sessions.The mouse weight 106 grams.

No driver installation is needed on Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, or Linux. Connect the USB cable to any available USB-A port and the mouse is detected and functional within seconds.

On Windows, it appears in Device Manager as a standard HID-compliant mouse. On macOS, it works immediately from the first movement. On Linux, USB HID is handled at the kernel level with no configuration required.

If your laptop only has USB-C ports, a USB-A to USB-C adapter is needed to connect the cable.
