Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about HP 405 Quiet Wireless Mouse

  • Noticeably quiet click mechanism ideal for shared workspaces or quiet environments
  • Dual-mode connectivity supporting both Bluetooth 5.2 and 2.4GHz wireless via dongle
  • Excellent battery life, lasting up to 24 months on a single AA battery
  • Soft silicone rubber exterior that is comfortable to hold and easy to sanitize
  • High-precision tracking with adjustable DPI up to 6000
  • Ambidextrous design suitable for both left and right-handed users

What customers don't like about HP 405 Quiet Wireless Mouse

  • Occasional connectivity issues, such as random disconnections requiring a manual dongle reset
  • The soft, grippy silicone texture can feel 'off-putting' or slightly uncomfortable to some users upon first grip
  • Lacks support in the HP Accessory Center software, limiting customization
  • Relies on a disposable AA battery rather than being rechargeable
  • Smaller-than-average frame may not be ideal for those seeking a full-size ergonomic mouse
  • Tracking and responsiveness may not feel refined enough for competitive gaming

Verdict

The HP 405 Quiet Wireless Mouse is an ambidextrous, business-oriented peripheral featuring a soft-silicone exterior and multi-surface optical tracking with an adjustable resolution up to 6000 DPI. It offers versatile dual-mode connectivity via Bluetooth 5.2 or a 2.4GHz USB dongle, five functional buttons, and an advanced 2D scroll wheel that supports both vertical and horizontal scrolling along with Microsoft Wheel settings. Main pros include a substantial 24-month battery life from a single AA battery, near-silent clicking for shared workspaces, and a sustainable design made with 40% recycled plastics. However, some users may find the soft, grippy silicone texture off-putting, and the mouse lacks rechargeable capabilities, requiring disposable batteries.
