This isn't the cheapest optical mouse out there, but i have to say its probably one of the best. It has a smooth finish on it, so its not uncomfortable on your hand like some mice.

The look matches my Emachines 420 machine, which is silver so I was impressed with the colour I got with it. The colours available are black and ...  Read the complete review
