    Nice deal. Good alternative to the VX Nano or a Logitech Darkfield mouse. No MIR or anything either. Good deal.

    If you want something a little larger, the MS Wireless Mouse 5000 uses the same sensor and is the same price. I bought one for my work computer so I don't need to use my spare Logitech MX518.

    Thanks Cin. I'd get another one. I got mine for $18 shipped brand new from a diff. source about six months back. The link says it's currently out of stock. The mouse does have a scroll wheel accuracy issue and its nano receiver does not function up to 30 ft. as advertised, it's more like 12 ft, unless you use a USB extension cable. The mouse does run on one AA battery and on any surface which is a plus. Very good mouse I give it a 9 out of 10. The option to turn off the mouse from its switch is very useful also.
