Which are the best brands and styles of mice for under $40.
Must be sold at a retail shop, not exlusively over the net.
Also where could i get one (which is the cheapest plact to get and most reliable)

I'm sure almost anything on that list would do just fine. If you really want to get the most elite mouse on the planet, it may set you back more than $30. That said, in the interests of ensuring that you get a mouse as perfect for your purposes as possible, people will need to know what you're interested in doing with it.

On a more serious note though, what is there to it? It's not like you can compare benchmarks. Go to Harvey Norman or something and play with them in-store, then go somewhere else and buy them cheaper.

i got MX700 and it has served me well.

the advantage of micosoft one is that it can be used with 1 AA battery so they are lighter.

The main problem with logitech are the drivers. Although i think they have fixed it with their new setpoint software.
