Have just been in to my local Currys (Catford London), looking for a mouse to use with my laptop. Bought a mini optical mouse for £4.97, couldn't find it on their website, but PCWorld are selling them for £19.99, I have included their linlk for you to view. The model is BELKIN F8E882-OPT

On the Pc World picture it shows what looks like a floppy disk but i dont have a floppy disk drive on my laptop.
Is that what it is, if not I'm off to curry's as this will be ideal for fitting into the carry case.

It will be a floppy disk, but I wouldn't worry about it if you are running Windoes XP or Windows 2000 as the disk wouldn't be needed. Indeed, even if you are running Windows 98, you could just download the driver from Belkins site.

I think the floppy disk is if u need ti install drivers. You usually only need to do this if you have windows 98 and maybe windows me, if you have xp then this usually isnt a problem

If you have an Aldi near you see if they have any of the Tevion optical, usb rechargable battery mini mouse for £12.99.

Is the Aldi mouse cordless (hence the battery charger)?

Edinburghlass_2

yes, sorry I was trying to do two things at once when I posted that.

Last week's offer so probably no longer on the website.

Was a little unsure about the disc myself had to say as my laptop has no floppy drive too! However, just plugged the mouse in and works fine. Using Windows XP

I have bought a really nice mini optical mouse for only a fiver from A1 PC's which i use with my laptop. It is a great size, USB connection, and the envy of all my friends!!! There are two colours to choose from although i have the red one which i think is great. Heres a link to the page on their website http://a1pcs.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=50_9&products_id=99
