    Need a new mouse, doesn't have to be fancy, I just want it to work, feel like it is built well, and be <$30. I'm open to any sizes and brands, what do you think?

    Just goto the store and buy a laser mouse for like 10 dollars.

    If you are on a 30 dollar budget and you don't want a fancy gaming mouse just go mainstream and make it simple :)

    Logitech, Microsoft (they have many cheap wireless models) are the brands you should look for when buying cheap wireless mice.

    The Logitech M310 frequently goes on sale at Best Buy for $15 or less. It's $20 right now, which is still a good price.

    I have both the Logitech M305 and M310.

    I would recommend the M305 over the M310 due to its quick responsiveness in games. However, the downside is that the M305 is a travel mouse and is smaller than the M310. The M310 also feels more comfortable for long use.

    You'll be satisfied with either.

    Cool, that lenovo one actually looks pretty cool, any chance that I could get it in the metallic color? Or is that coupon for the coffee color only? Not that it would really matter *that* much :p

    I think the coupon is just for the Coffee color. You can try and apply it to the Metallic one. If it works, even better :)

    Logitech MX518. No reason to crap out; get the bestselling best-rated mouse. Ever.
