A:AnswerYes, the one I have goes to sleep if not moved after a few moments. Snaps back on as soon as it's touched or moved. I only actually turn it off when traveling with it in the bag with the laptop.
The batteries that came with the unit have been used for six months and are still going strong.
A:AnswerThere is no reason why it should't work with your HP laptop. I prefer the USB connection rather than the Bluetooth connection. I have a Bluetooth mouse and it sometimes loses connectivity. I have to turn it off and on again to reconnect. This mouse is very reliable.
A:AnswerLook around where the batteries are. The USB plug in is rectangular piece that should easily slide out. You should NOT have to put effort into it. If it doesn't slide right out odds are you have the wrong object. Also note, the USB plug in may have an orange or red circle on the side, signifying it is removable.
A:AnswerBoth laser and optical mice technically shine a light off a surface and measure the reflection in order to provide precision tracking. An optical mouse usually uses an infrared LED (sometimes photodiodes), while a laser mouse uses a laser to illuminate a surface.
Optical sensors have less than a one percent variation in tracking at different speeds, while laser mice can have five percent or more variation. An optical mouse works well on a mouse pad or any non-glossy surface. A laser mouse will work on any surface.
A:AnswerI'm using a Chromebook and it works fine with it. Not sure what Chromebook you have, but I haven't had an issue with it working. I have a pixel book and a cheaper Samsung Chromebook. It works with both without issue.
A:AnswerWill not work with an iPad because there is not a USB port to attach the paired receiver, but it will work with a Mac. I plugged the receiver into a USB port on my MacBook and it work immediately. It will probably work on the MacBook without the attached receiver through the machine's Bluetooth connection.
A:AnswerDid you check to see if the batteries in the mouse were good? Also, make sure the switch on the back of the mouse is set to "on". Otherwise, it doesn't work.
