    The only one I've seen is on eBay where it is selling for $45. It is rather expensive since my favorite mouse is the Logitech Nano V550 wireless, which is well built compared to other cheap plastic mice. Does anyone have an idea on how to silent the clicks? Or know of other source for silent untethered mice?

    I plan to use it in the classroom and the clicking will probably bother some people.

    Cheers,
    Ben

    I have been looking for a silent mouse also... I think the new MS Arc Touch Mouse is soundless, but I'm not sure (could someone confirm,please?).

    I understand the touch-scroll wheel makes a sound, but an induced sound, like coming from a tiny speaker, so to speak, so *maybe* it can be deactivated...

    but its around USD 50, so its out of your budget...

    Thanks Agusman. I might just buy the one on eBay, but I haven't heard any reviews of that mouse.

    Blessings,
    Ben

    Sorry, that may have to wait because I just won a Logitech Nano V550 off of eBay for $17 new with exception (it was opened, but still in new condition... hopefully it is still new!).

    If that is too distracting in class, I will invest in the silent one and will post some information on it when I do.

    Cheers,
    Ben
