Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about HP Z3700

  • Ultra-slim and lightweight design makes it highly portable for travel
  • Long battery life, often cited as lasting up to 16 months on a single AA battery
  • Stylish aesthetic with various color options to match different laptops
  • Quiet and responsive left/right clicks
  • Blue LED technology allows for effective tracking on multiple surfaces
  • Includes internal storage for the USB receiver to prevent loss

What customers don't like about HP Z3700

  • Flat, non-ergonomic profile can cause hand fatigue or discomfort during extended use
  • Scroll wheel is frequently reported as being noisy, jerky, or prone to failure after several months
  • Small size may not be comfortable for users with larger hands
  • Requires a USB-A port for the dongle, which may be inconvenient for modern laptop users without adapters
  • Occasional reports of connectivity issues or lag when the receiver is not in close proximity

Verdict

The HP Z3700 is a sleek, ultra-slim wireless mouse designed for high portability and broad compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS. It features a high-precision 1200 or 1600 DPI optical sensor and Blue LED technology, allowing it to track accurately on a wide variety of surfaces including wood and fabric. Connecting via a reliable 2.4 GHz wireless connection through a USB nano dongle—with some dual-mode versions also offering Bluetooth 5.0—it boasts an exceptional battery life of up to 16 months on a single AA battery. Its main pros include a stylish ambidextrous design that fits easily into laptop bags, quiet clicks, and a dedicated internal storage slot for the USB receiver. However, common cons include a very flat profile that may cause ergonomic discomfort for users with large hands, a loud or 'jerky' scroll wheel, and potential connectivity lag in crowded wireless environments.
