HP 330 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo - A Review

If you're looking for a reliable wireless keyboard and mouse combo, look no further than the HP 330. This keyboard and mouse set comes with a single USB-A receiver that connects both the keyboard and mouse to your computer, offering you the freedom to work without tangled cords.

Stylish & Comfortable

At first glance, the HP 330 keyboard and mouse combo is sleek and stylish, with the matte-black finish giving it a modern look. The keyboard is designed with chiclet keycaps and includes a number pad, which is not common on all keyboards. This feature is particularly useful for those who work in finance or need to quickly input numbers.

The keys themselves are comfortable to the touch and require just the right amount of pressure and tactile feedback. I found typing on this keyboard to be an enjoyable experience for extended periods. The layout mimics a standard keyboard, which makes it easy to transition from another keyboard and accurately type without making mistakes.

Keystroke of Genius

In addition to its stylish design, the HP 330 keyboard impresses with its efficient keystroke shortcuts. The top-row shortcut keys are a breeze to use, with 12 of them ready to activate frequently-used functions with a keypress. These include launching your web browser, media player, email, and calculator.

It's worth noting here that the shortcut keys only work for Windows operating systems, so if you're using macOS or Linux, you'll need to remap them with third-party software, which can be a bit of a pain.

Free Your Mouse

The compact mouse that comes with the keyboard is a welcome addition and works well on virtually any surface (1) with little to no lag, thanks to its 1600 DPI optical sensor. The mouse's scroll wheel is smooth, and the buttons, including the left and right buttons, are responsive to clicks and require very little force.

The mouse has a couple of minor shortcomings, however. First, it's on the small side, so those with larger hands may have a hard time getting a comfortable grip. Second, there are no additional buttons for functions such as navigating back and forth in your browser, which some people may find limiting.

Let there be LED

The HP 330 keyboard also boasts illuminating LED indicators for Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock. These indicators are bright and easy to see, which means you can immediately tell if something is on or off, rather than having to guess based on the absence or presence of the usual on-screen indicators.

What buyers say

The HP 330 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo has received mixed reviews on various platforms with an average of 3.3 out of 5 stars. Some buyers praised the keyboard's comfortable design and incredibly silent keys while others had trouble with the wireless signal or USB-receiver.

Conclusion

Overall, the HP 330 wireless keyboard and mouse combo is a solid choice for those in need of a keyboard and mouse set that can offer a clutter-free experience. The keystroke shortcuts and cheerful LED indicators are definitely a plus, and the mouse works well on most surfaces.

The combo is best suited for those who work mainly on Windows, as the shortcut keys are not fully supported on other operating systems. Some users might find the keyboard a little too large, but the comfortable typing, responsive mouse, and sleek design will guarantee that the product is worth the money.
