    I was gonna get a bluetooth wireless mouse but I might end up playing some FPS on my laptop so I figured better to get a corded USB mouse. I would really prefer a fairly small sized mouse with not too long of a cord, well nothing like a mouse for desktop ne way. Only need 3 buttons with scroll. although extra buttons would be nice. Stylish but not flashy looking, no glowing lights o_O. Prefer to be no more than 30 bucks. Any suggestions?

    edit: black color prefered maybe. gonna go with the w7j I'm ordering :D

    I'd suggest the Razer Pro 1.6. http://www.razerpro.com//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
    It cost me $25 + $5 S&H from Woot.com. A standard deal is about $40. It's super smooth, and the click is so reactive you can play for hours without any fatigue. It's sharp, responsive, and light. It's also stylish, inexpensive, and easy to carry. Personally, the best mouse I've had, and I have owned a Logitech MX518, wireless Logitechs, and demoed a G5. Logitechs are made for fat people; my Razer fits my slimmer hand perfectly.

    Good luck. Amazon has the best prices I've seen on this mouse.

    I don't like Logitechs either. My fingers feel like they're about to fall off. Plus, I AM a fat person :)Their notebook mice look fine though (at least a V270 I saw in store).

    Ah, I take back what I said about Logitechs being for fat people... that was a little rude.

    Logitechs are for people who like Logitechs. They are larger, but they form to the average user's hand more. Mine are more thin, so the Razer contours nicely.

    Go to Best Buy and hold each one. If Logitech is too big for you, go Razer. If not, Logitechs are some of the best.

    Heh. I got an IOGear 1600 mouse. It's pretty inexpensive as far as laser mice go, has great precision, has a few more buttons than normal, it's comfortable, and it has a really light, thin cord, which I really like for FPS's and such. You might consider it :)
