    Hi,

    My mouse just died on me and I can't stand the touchpad. I've got a small protable one so I'm looking for a big one to use at home. It's got to be USB and I'd preferably like a fan in it, and it to be laser but I'm not too fussy about whether it's wireless or not.

    My budget is preferably under £30 but can be extended to £50 if needs must. Preferably from a dealer like Amazin or another trustworthy one. Thanks loads!

    You could have a look at these mice. I already specified it as laser for you. you'd have to specify your pricing, and other things. I've found a mouse that people say is nice and durable for only 10 American dollars, here, and one that lights up blue, and is a little cheaper, here. Hope i helped you out a bit.

    I like the Logitech MX518 on the cheap, its everything I want from my Logitech G5 without the frills like the weights and 2000dpi.

    Seems like a lot of people have Logitechs. I have the mx610 and I love it. Small receiver and MANY MANY multimedia buttons. Great mouse.
