  • Lidl had one that looks good at £9.99 at the moment and has a scroll ball on top as well if you don't have space to move the mouse around. I haven't actually used it so couldn't comment on that and can't find the product on their website so I can't give you any more info on it at the moment.

    Microsoft Wireless notebook mouse 4000 is good (IMHO), £15 seems to be the going rate on eBay

    Very pleased so far with my new Logitech V450 cordless (for laptops). Wasn't the cheapest but is much better than the Dell one I had.
  • Not sure where this info. coming from....forwarded email by friend....:eek:
    =================================================

    The convinience of using optical mouse eventually coz dangerous side
    effect. After Three years from the first launch by microsoft, have been
    found thousand of cases - hands tissue coz by mouse radiation.

    Optical Mouse works by release Electromagnetic high frequency to the
    lower surface under it. This frequency much more higher than the
    frequency use for handphone.
    As it has been known that human hand and wrist contains lot of important
    nerve connected to brain.

    According to WHO, the radiation from Optical Mouse is 5 times stonger
    than using handphone.

    These radiation is even worse for those product with lower quality ( non
    branded mouse ), since they use weaker shield to protect customer wrist.
    WHO, GreenPeace, and CNN have stopped the usage of Optical mouse in their
    whole office.

    Meanwhile Microsoft and IBM have allocate 2 billion of US Dollar, in
    joint venture to make a safer pointing device.

    Big Hardware Industries in China and Taiwan are trying to hide all fact
    related to this things. While in the market, most of optical mouse sold
    old were coming from their product.

    To avoid this, try to reduce using mouse. learn how to use hot key ( i.e.
    Ctrl-V, CTRL-C for paste and copy ) Use back your old model of mouse (
    with the tracking ball).
