Best/Cheap Wireless Mouse??

I was in the same boat last week.
I went for the Logitech V470 BT mouse after looking around for a comfortable but affordable one.
Keep in mind it's a little smaller than normal desktop mice.

The "best" wireless mouse is the Logitech MX revolution. It retails for around $75 on Amazon IIRC.
In most cases, "best" and "cheapest" are mutually exclusive.
In my opinion, the "best" mouse is a Logitech MX Revolution. Search Newegg or Frys.com for the "cheapest." Just remember you get what you pay for.
And be ready to go through lots of batteries. A wireless mouse seemd like a great idea until I actually used one for a while. The batteries make the thing quite a bit heavier, which takes more work to move around. And then I was having to replace the batteries every month. After about 6 months, I went back to a regular, wired mighty mouse.
Geez, a pair of AA's weigh what, an ounce? It's not like you're waving it around in the air, it rests on a desk.
And the MX Revolution recharges in a cradle, so there's no changing batteries.
I got a refurb MX Revolution for $30 from amazon. It was as good as new.
Right now its at $40 from some amazon marketplace seller: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0014TJSMM/ref=dp_olp_1

I don't think $75 is cheap.
I use a Logitech LX 8 Lazer. I got it for about $40. Very good mouse. Comfortable.
