Ritz Camera has the Logitech VX Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks for $59 - $30 rebate [Exp 3/31] + $7 shipping = $36 shipped. Features MicroGear Precision scroll wheel, Document flip feature, and runs on a single AA battery. [BizRate]
this mouse is great. really comfortable feel, ability to change the tactile feel of the scroll wheel is a very cool feature, and helps for when you'd like to scroll effortlessly through long documents just by giving the wheel a spin. it glides very nicely over any surface, and the battery life lasts me about 2.5-3 months with 5day/week, all-day use.
Mine worked great until a month ago when it developed the same double-click problem that plagues the Creative Fatality mice. Logitech won't RMA it without a receipt but I received it as a gift. Normally I wouldn't complain but the warranty is 3 years and the mouse wasn't even available 3 years ago. In other words, it's not even possible that any VX Revolution is past its warranty date. Other than that one problem, my VX Revolution has held up quite well over the 15 months I've owned it (it was a Xmas gift).
Oh, one other issue. High amounts of wireless or bluetooth traffic on my laptops (Dell XPS M1530 and Inspiron 8600) causes mouse response to become very sluggish. I assume that this is due to the high USB traffic. I didn't notice this problem with my Microsoft wireless mouse.

Paid $50 at Staples and worked great like #1 said.
