Is $20 too cheap or should I get a better one. Thanks a bunch. I got a $20 3-button cordless mouse made by BSR at a computer show and it works fine for basic windows use. I probably wouldn't use it for graphics work though. I also got one of the older (read not a Sensa) Logitech 3-button mice for $15. If you are not worried about getting an ergonomic mouse, the Logitech is a great mouse. Bradley J. Marker

the microsoft mouse is pretty good, ergonomic, but not cheap (~$50) had a logitec 3-button and preferred that one *only* because of the programmable third button.

Without reservation I loathe the new "ergonomic" MS mouse. The old soap bars were not too bad. The new one is too big, too heavy, and requires that I place my whole hand on it and thus have whole arm get involved in moving the mouse. I like small mice that I can hold whith just the tips of a few fingers touching, the base of my palm on the desk, an move purely by the flexure of my fingers and wrist.

I second that one. I don't know who MS is hired fo ergonomics, but they are definitely brain dead idiots. I use my thumb and little finger on either side of my mouse to move it and place my fingers on the buttons. My palm is always at rest and my arm almost never moves. I keep my mouse on a stand next to my chair and my arm rest on it. I'm handicapped and have problems using my upper arms but my finger work just fine as long as I don't use my arms. My keyboard is on my lab and I have a high back chair with my head rested. I know that my setup is the best ergonomic system because it is the only way I can type. Normal people don't understand just how much muscle action these systems take in a normal office situation. It's very damaging. Repetive movements cause me to get palsy, but can cause problems to others too. I even do 3d graphics with my right hand and I'm left handed. I have no control over my right arm at all.
