I have reviewed plenty of mice in my life, but this one is the most unique. The ProtoArc HubMouse combines a wireless mouse with a built-in 2-in-1 hub. It has two connection modes: 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth. The 2.4GHz mode is the most reliable, while the Bluetooth modes offer more flexibility.
The hub features two USB ports (USB-A 3.0 and USB-C) and one 4K HDMI port. The USB ports can be used to connect peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and storage devices. The HDMI port can be used to connect an external display as well. The HubMouse is well-designed. Not only does it function uniquely, it also looks unique. With strong, lightweight plastics and a ribbed palm rest. It is a great choice for users who are looking to reduce the size of their everyday carry (EDC) package as this mouse can eliminate a traditional USB-C hub.
Setup was simple – it’s plug and play. There is no resource-taxing app and you don’t have to worry about cross-operating-system compatibility. It just works. My testing was 100% work – no gaming. This is definitely a mouse I’ll be using when I travel.
