What do you need it for? Gaming or just general use?
Do you want ones with programmable buttons?
Battery or rechargeable?

From a personal view, I bought a Microsoft mouse a year ago. It failed to work after 2 months. Under warranty, the shop changed it. Worked OK for 4 months, then that one failed. The shop agreed it was faulty and changed it again. Last month, that one failed. Still under warranty I took it back and asked for a diferentmake. I now have an HP mouse, £ 15 cheaper. Keeping my fingers crossed. I was under the impression that Microsoft would be a reliable brand, but unfortunately not.

For general use (I don't like using the pad on a laptop) I always get a cheap Logitech Mouse.

I've found Comet to be the cheapest place to buy. They usually have one for just under a tenner.

All wireless Mice are battery (the clue is there) Logitech good and cheep, battery's last ages even if you leave it on.

My vote would be for Logitech ,had this one over 2 years now and still feels and looks as new (LX8 i think it is)
Did originally spend a small fortune on a Microsoft one but didnt last 3 months so exchanged for another then the same happened again so changed to Logitech one

I give another vote for Logitech.
I've had an MX620 for about 18 months. Standard AA batteries last about 3-4 months with daily use.
I did move the USB receiver to the front of my tower PC as I sometimes got problems recognising clicks with it plugged in the back. The tower is below and to the side of the desk the mouse sits on. But with a laptop, I doubt you'd have any such problem.

Some are disposable batteries that you replace (i.e. AAs), and some have in-built batteries which you charge from a docking station. These can't be replaced.
