    From September 3rd to September 9th, you can get the #1 Best-Selling Mouse (Now with High Definition) for $9.99 from Office Depot.

    It's the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000. I bought two of them today and they only offer it in Slate and not Winter Blue.

    Best thing about it, no rebates to mail in, just $20 off instantly.

    Thanks for the link. This's the second time I see OD offer this deal on this mouse. It might be a good idea to go to other stores, i.e best buy, compusa.. etc to price match it cause when I got this mouse 3 months ago it was sold out from OD since it's a hot item at that price. The mouse is excellent, had no trouble with tracking and I used it on my couch, table, blanket, mattress. 2 issues made me sell it with my dv5000 though, if you're using windows xp SP2, screen saver woun't work while the mouse dongle is hooked up to the usb port. You have to remove it for the screen saver to work. The other thing is if something touched the small usb dongle i.e cell phone, keys, remote control by accident while the dongle is hooked up, it looses connectivity and is gonna take 20-30 seconds to resset itself automatically, I usually remove and plug it back in rather than waitting for 30 seconds which is annoying.

    Here's a microsoft link about the this mouse's problem with screen saver.

    This mouse is absolutely incredible. Nearly 8 months of heavy usage and I'm still on my first AA battery.

    If you go to the link, click buy online... you will notice that the online price is $29.99. If you pick it up in the store it is only $9.99. :cool:

    LOL Office Depot is really going out to get some publicity. Yesterday, Sept 5th, I read that OD was selling a HP PC fro $100. I thought they were talking about MiT's Green Machine, the ~$100 hand crancked laptop, but long behold an HP desktop.
