    I finally got my own laptop (cheers) but, Im not feeling the laptops mouse. I just dont plain like laptop mice, they make me feel slow and that Im not in control (lol). Anyways, has anyone seen a good WIRELESS mouse at a nice price? Or reccommend any companies?

    Ive been looking at this one Microsoft Mouse (The one with the snap in reciever on the bottom). It looks appealing at 25 dollars, but Im not sure if its any good. I kinda dont want to spend more than 25 on a mouse. :budget: Also I want one thats like plug and play, no software needed to install. Another big issue is the wireless mouses that have those recievers (the one where you plug in the thing into the usb port and it has a wire attached to it, connecting it to a bulky reciever) Those arent really what I want. Also, a simple 3 button mouse will do...

    Ive checked out tigerdirect, newegg, buy.com, overstock.com...Not sure which one though :decision:

    Thanks for the help :cool:

    Try the BenQ M310, runs a little more than the $25, more like $35-40, but very small, although not too small. The usb adapter stores in the back of the mouse, and also turns it off when not in use, or you can opt to push the right/left buttons as you push the scroll wheel to turn off the mouse. Comes with a nice little velvet type carry case. Oh yeah, did I mention it's optical, I'm sure most of the wireless ones are though. Anyway, I think I got mine from Ebay for around $30-35 shipped, but you can get it from several places, just Google it.

    I had already ordered my Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse from tigerdirect.com.
    It took about a week to get here with my ram I also ordered. Its nice, first day using it and its not that bad except for like Its not very smooth unless using a mouse pad which is gayyyy.
