    I really like the 'flying wheel' of VX revolution but I don't like the price. And I don't need cordless.

    Any suggestions?

    I'm not into gaming.

    Do you like the MX revolution? If so it goes on sale from time to time for $40 at bestbuy and other local retailers by me, thats not a bad price for any decent mouse.

    Yea, but those don't have the free-spinning scroll wheel. Nice mouse though, I use one as a backup in case my Logitech G5 gives me issues (which it does occasionally).

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    Logitech 910 and NX80 seem to be very close to what I want (flying scroll wheel). I would prefer with cord though. If anyone knows, please let me know.

    If you want the VX revolution then search at walmart before finding an alternative. I went to my local one and they had the VX revolution for $30. This was about a month or so ago but it never hurts to try.
