    Ok, Long story short, I need a USB wireless mouse (one with the little USB stick).

    I want a stick that clicks into the mouse when not in use, and something that is not too big. Ive heard mixed reviews on the Logitech V400, so Im a little wary off it. Im not worried about price, I just want a comfortable, reliable, wireless notebook mouse, WITH A GOOD BATTERY LIFE.

    Look into the Logitech VX Revolution. It's Logitech's latest notebook mouse.

    The Logitech VX Revolution is a good choice. There are other notebook mice available from Microsoft and Kensington.

    The Logitech VX Revolution looks very nice. I saw the MX Revolution at my local Sam's Club and that looked awesome.

    If you are still interested in the Logitech VX Revolution mouse, it is $60 on Buy.com - $20 Google Checkout with free shipping. $40 shipped!! I'm placing an order right now.

    Ya, I got VX revolution too. This mouse is sooo good. Its pretty, light, small (ez to carry around) and it feels really comfortable.

    The battery life is average. After 1 month of typing / surfing usage, it has 50% left, so I guess 1 AA battery every 2 months.

    Ok, I looked at the price of em, and yeah $100 is a bit much, so we'll say there IS a budget.

    <$50

    Eh, that $100 price sounds like you're talking about the desktop version of the Logitech Revolution, the MX (which I have and it is dam good).

    The wireless notebook mouse is cheaper. Even Logitech's list price for the VX is only $79.99, so I don't see how retailers can be selling it for more than that (if you're in the U.S.). And yes, it can be had for much cheaper, around $50.00 or so. Someone posted info, above, on how to get at least one deal, and there are others.
