    Cheapest one there... £1.59... surely unbeatable... that one is out of stock admittedly, but the others for less than a fiver (even with flashing lights!!) has to be good

    Can someone please tell me what a ball-less one is called please!
  • A Ball-Less mouse is called an 'Optical Mouse', and the light underneath tracks movement rather than a ball.

    thanks for that, it's just the ones with a ball in my daughter seems to knacker! Will an optical mouse be better?
  • I personally prefer optical mice, but my last one died, as it was a cordless, and I didn't take very good care of the little blighter. Leaving the batteries in when they arn out, and haveing them leak all over the mouse was the final nail in the coffin.

    Anyway, optical are better, I am using a Ball one, as I needed one urgently, and we sell them at work for £2.99, and I cot it at cost price, which is about £1.20.

    I will get another optical, as it doesn't get clogged up with 'gunk'.
  • The type with the ball in get dirty and thats what knackers them, you can take the base off, take the ball out and clean the inside with a cotton bud but for the price of an optical mouse nowadays you are as well going with one of them ;)

    Yeah done all that but me think it's gone to mouse heaven. So a couple of quid should cover it for an optical one?
  • A few quid should do you. There are some funky looking ones going on ebay now;

    Most of which are below a fiver.
