Reviews last updated: May 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about HP 100

  • Very good value for money for a simple office mouse.
  • Ambidextrous ergonomic shape works well for both left and right-handed users.
  • USB plug-and-play setup is quick and requires no extra software.
  • The 1600 DPI optical sensor is accurate enough for everyday use.
  • Lightweight construction helps it glide easily across the desk.
  • Build quality is generally solid for the price.

What we don't like about HP 100

  • There are no side buttons or dedicated DPI controls on the mouse.
  • Clicks can be a little noisy for some users.
  • The scroll wheel may feel rough or lose smoothness over time.
  • Some users find the USB cable short or a bit stiff.
  • It is not a good fit for competitive gaming because of its basic tracking performance.
  • The plastic finish can feel cheap to the touch.

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.
