Verdict

The HP 100 is a reliable, budget-friendly wired optical mouse designed for everyday productivity and casual use. It features a precise 1600 DPI optical sensor and a classic three-button layout with a built-in scroll wheel for efficient navigation. Its ambidextrous, contoured design ensures all-day comfort for both left- and right-handed users, while the simple USB-A plug-and-play connectivity allows for instant setup on Windows and macOS systems. Main pros include its highly affordable price point, lightweight build (approximately 90g), and fluid tracking on a variety of surfaces. However, some users have noted cons such as a relatively short 1-meter cable, loud or 'noisy' clicking sounds, and a lack of adjustable DPI or extra programmable buttons.
