dang..... this is one expensive office mouse...

well...a few days ago, i think thursday.. my sister and i went to my sister's friend's, boyfriend's house and during that time the boyfriends dad came home from China for some kind of business trip.... well i was rather drawn to the many things i saw in the house..... computer built with some form of Lian-Li case very expensive wireless keyboards and all that....

turns out that the guy is some type of IT technician and has been involved in several Microsoft projects (one i know of was that he designed the PSU in the Xbox) and builds computers for clients as side job....

when he came and greeted us, you could tell he was real tired, really disoriented guy....

then a few minutes later, he came up holding two Bluetooth laser mice... asking if any of us had a bluetooth enabled computer..... me being the only one there with a bluetooth adapter.... i raised my hand and said i did. so then i was handed one of these:

Newegg.com - Microsoft 4CH-00012 Aluminium 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Bluetooth Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 - Mouse

and anoher Dell branded laser mouse

Dell : DELL 5-Button Bluetooth Travel Mouse for Dell Latitude D430/ D830 / Precision M4300/ M65/ M90 Systems : I/O Devices : Home & Home Office

you can guess my reaction when i saw the price tag on it....... dang

EDIT: found the Dell mouse he gave me...

lord jesus..... he handed me over $100 in tech!

so was it a freebie or you just get to oogle at it? . Looks to be a nice mouse but pricey like you said.

That's about on par for a good, high end mouse. That price doesn't supprise me at all.

My MX Revolution was 99.00 when I got it, and it's just now starting to come down in price at a lot of places.

If you want bells & whistles, you are going to have to pay for it

yup i got it.... and am using it.....

when i first saw it i just assumed it was a right handed mouse but its actually ambidextrous!

it feels great and seems to have a DPI level close to my Copperhead mouse! its layout is not that good for a gaming mouse but then again it just plain isnt a gaming mouse......


i really like it and the bluetooth isnt lagging at all

Newegg.com - Microsoft 69Y-00001 Silver USB Bluetooth Wireless Ergonomics Entertainment Desktop 8000 Mouse Included - Keyboards

lol the guy had a bunch of these laying around as well.....


felt very comfortable, wireless and has a keyboard backlight......

i already knew the price and my jaw was dropped at the sight of it...

its also real small.... great but definitely not worth 200+....

really need to ask his name.... maybe i can buy components off him some time.
