Connect the HP 430/435 Multi-Device Wireless Mouse to HP Accessory Center
The HP 430/435 Series Mouse
features Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4GHZ high speed, long distance, and low energy connection.
The mouse also features long lasting battery life, comfortable ergonomics,
and the choice between Bluetooth and USB connection.
This video will include an explanation of what to expect when unboxing the mouse,
how to set it up with your PC, and an overview of the mouse features offered through HP Accessory Center.
Unboxing and Setting Up the HP 430/435 Series Mouse
Open the box and remove the quick start poster and warranty,
USB dongle, the mouse, and the double A batteries.
On the exterior of the mouse you will see the four programmable buttons and the non-slip grips on both sides.
On the bottom of the mouse you will see the On/Off switch, the Multi-Surface Sensor,
and the button to switch between either a USB dongle connection or a Bluetooth connection.
Upon opening the top plate on the mouse
you will see where to install the AA battery as well as the USB dongle storage area.
When you connect the mouse for the first time
you will need to set it up with HP Accessory Center, or HPAC, to utilize all of its features.
For Windows computers, HPAC will download automatically.
From the Microsoft store you can check on the download from Downloads and Updates.
For Mac computers, HPAC will not automatically download
but you can search for and download it from the Apple store.
Exploring the mouse features.
After HPAC has been downloaded, open the app to access the full range of features offered by the mouse.
The very first time HPAC is opened after you have connected the mouse,
you will see a series of setup prompts to guide you through the initial setup process.
After the setup prompts you will be brought to the main mouse configuration page.
From here you will be able to customize the settings for your HP 430/435 Series Mouse.
On the top right, you will see the battery indicator and the connection status of the mouse.
Below the mouse graphic you will see the options Information, tutorial, and manual.
Selecting Information provides product information such as the model name and firmware version.
Selecting Tutorial will bring you back to the setup prompts shown during the initial setup process.
And selecting Manual will open an online version of the Quick Start Poster included with the mouse.
At the top of the page you will see three page options:
Button Assignment, Sensitivity, and Manage Connections.
Each of these pages allows you to customize a different part of the mouse.
Button Assignment allows you to select the functions of the buttons on the mouse.
The functions of the buttons are already pre-assigned as Right Click, Middle Click, Forward, and Back.
To change the function of a button,
select the dropdown next to the button you want to configure and choose from the features provided.
For example, to make a button execute the "Copy" command, select More from the dropdown.
Then select Commands, Productivity, Copy, and then click Save.
Now every time you select the button, you will copy any items that you have selected.
Another programmable feature is a keystroke command
which allows you to assign a keystroke to one of the buttons.
After clicking More from the dropdown, go to Keystroke.
Then name the keystroke.
For this example, we'll have Button 2 open a new browser window.
Select Start Recording and enter your desired keystroke on the keyboard.
In this case the keystroke to open a new browser is CTRL N. Then select Stop Recording.
Then select Stop Recording.
Click Save.
Launching an app is also possible as a button function.
To do this select the dropdown menu for a button, click More, and go to Launcher.
Select a name for the app and then choose the app by typing the name or selecting browse.
For this example, we'll have button 3 open Microsoft Excel.
Then click Save.
To create a gesture function for one of the buttons select the dropdown, More, and go to Gesture.
For this example, we'll select Media Controls.
From here you can assign a function to the four directions that you can slide the mouse:
forward, back, left, and right.
Here in our example, we'll have the gestures control volume and track selection.
Then click Save.
Now every time you hold down this button,
the gestures you chose will execute when you slide the mouse forward, backward, left, and right.
Based on the example gestures chosen in this video, when we hold button 4,
moving the mouse forwards and backwards turns the volume up and down.
And moving the mouse left or right selects the previous or next track.
The last set function you can assign in the Button Assignment page is a wheel menu function.
To do this select the button, select More, and then go to Wheel Menu.
Type in a name for your wheel menu.
The wheel menu can support up to 8 assigned commands.
Click on the section of the wheel menu on the left that you would like to assign a command
and then select the app and the command from the right.
Now every time you hold this button the wheel menu with your chosen functions will appear.
Under the All Applications dropdown menu
you can choose the functions of buttons based on a specific app you are using.
You can find apps to add to this menu by selecting more under the dropdown.
For example, if you want to select specific button functions for the Microsoft Word app,
select that app from the dropdown menu and the button assignments you select
will pertain only to Microsoft Word.
The next page after Button Assignment is Sensitivity.
Under this page you will be able to control the speed and sensitivity of your mouse.
Changing the DPI, or Dots Per Inch, settings, allows you to control the speed and sensitivity of your mouse pointer.
You can adjust your settings from 800 DPI for slower movement
up to 4,000 DPI for faster movement by sliding the blue circle across the scale.
You can also adjust the speed and sensitivity of the mouse wheel from one to ten.
One is the slowest scrolling speed while ten is the fastest.
The third page at the top of the screen is Manage Connections.
This page allows you to view all other devices that the mouse is connected to.
From here you can connect to and disconnect from other devices and control your connection settings.
Another feature offered with HP Accessory Center is the Clipboard feature located on the left.
This feature allows you to easily share files between PCs.
To use this feature, you must have two PCs with HPAC installed
and they must be connected to the same wireless network.
Then, on the PC that the mouse is connected to,
click the Enable HP Accessory Center network communication toggle switch.
Enter your username and password on the next screen and select Update Password.
Repeat the same steps for the second computer by entering the same username and password
as well as clicking Enable HP Accessory Center network communication.
Now both computers will be appear on each other's clipboard menu.
Normally when you copy a file with the mouse,
this item will show up in the Data Tracker section on the Clipboard screen.
Now that both PCs are connected, the copied item will also show up in the Data Tracker section on the second PC.
From here you can select the copied item on the second PC and download it.
In addition to all these features, the HP 430/435 Series Mouse
comes with full support from the HP Support team which is available 24/7.
