    I suggest a wired USB sony laser mouse. The bluetooth one...is really only useful if your always on the go and need your mouse when traveling/in class. Otherwise, go for the wired, it's cheaper and you dont need to replace the batteries(because there are none, lol)

    That one or the UMS55 Laser Mouse are fine choices. Although the sony mice are very nice looking, why dont you just buy a Razer or Logitech mouse for a similiar price? they will be much better/higher quality mice. I love my sony laser mouse, but i only paid 6 dollars for it, because i had the campus bundle(not available anymore). If i were to pay 40-60 bucks(MSRP) for a mouse, i would buy a Razer, Logitech, or even some of the higher end Microsoft mice. More ergonomic, usually quicker response times (sony's are 800-1000 dpi), others are like 1000-1200 dpi(up to 1600 dpi).

    There ya go: (40 bucks!)

    or for 45:

    or for 52 bucks, a wireless one:

    ahhh.. This Razer mouse seems a good one.. Is it an USB or optical? And i hope it suits for FW190 ?
    Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse also seems very good. I may go with this. Thanks a lot.

    USB just means how you plug it into the computer. (the exception being bluetooth mice, because those connect to the laptop through a bluetooth radio in the mouse and laptop) Optical is a mouse technology, there are several types of mouse technology, the ball, optical, laser, infrared, and "blue laser?". A laser or infrared is generally the latest technology and are the fastest/most accurate. Any mouse with 800dpi or higher is great for everyday use, if your gaming, anything with 1000 or higher is fine. All USB mice will work in ALL new computers. All mice, except bluetooth are USB(even wireless mice generally have a USB reciever).
