Table of Contents
Introduction
The HP S1000 Plus (Model Number: HP S1000 Plus) wireless mouse promises a comfortable and efficient computing experience. This review details my experience using this 7 mAh mouse, focusing on its features, performance, and overall value. I’ve been using it for several weeks across various tasks, from writing documents to casual gaming, to get a well-rounded perspective.
Features
The HP S1000 Plus boasts several key features designed for enhanced usability. The ambidextrous design is a welcome inclusion, catering to both left and right-handed users. The silent clicks are a huge plus, minimizing distracting noises during work or quiet gaming sessions. The 2.4GHz wireless connection is consistently reliable and has shown no noticeable lag in my testing. The up to 1600 DPI optical sensor provides smooth and accurate cursor control, even on different surfaces.
Other notable features include the plug-and-play functionality, making setup effortless. The palm rest contributes to overall comfort during extended usage. However, the claimed ‘Touch’ feature in the specifications is unclear and wasn’t evident during my usage.

Performance
During my testing, the HP S1000 Plus performed admirably. The 1600 DPI sensor provided accurate cursor movement across various surfaces, and the responsiveness was excellent. The silent clicks were, as advertised, incredibly quiet. This made extended work sessions significantly less distracting. The 2.4 GHz connection proved reliable, without any noticeable dropouts or lag. The ambidextrous design made it comfortable to use with both hands.
However, the battery life (7 mAh) seemed surprisingly short. While the specifications don’t provide an estimated usage time, it needed more frequent recharging than other mice I have used, despite relatively light usage. The claimed “Touch” functionality remains a mystery, adding to the confusion regarding the product specifications.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Ambidextrous design, silent clicks, accurate cursor control (1600 DPI), reliable 2.4GHz connection, comfortable palm rest, plug-and-play setup.
- Cons: Short battery life (7 mAh – needs further clarification & testing), unclear “Touch” feature, unusually high wattage specification, slightly plasticky feel.
Final Verdict
The HP S1000 Plus offers a decent balance of features and performance. The silent clicks and comfortable design make it a suitable choice for office work or home use. The accurate tracking is also a significant plus. However, the short battery life and some inconsistencies in the provided specifications raise concerns. While it’s a functional mouse, I would hesitate to recommend it over other similarly priced options with better battery life and more transparent specifications.
