Good wireless mouse that's designed for left & right hands
 
Looking for a decent left/right hand wireless mouse to use with my 6 yr. old Presario X1000, running Windows XP. Want to spend $30 or less. I was about to grab the MS Mob. Mem. Mouse 8000, for $28 on amazon, when I realized it's designed for right handers.

I spend a few hours per day on my laptop so need something comfortable & user friendly. Smaller is better. There are a lot that probably fit my requirements & it's daunting. :)

How about this one: Logitech M310?

TIA.

I'm right handed but got a Logitech M305 about a month ago for about $24 at Walmart. I love it and the nano usb plug. I leave the usb plug in all the time on my netbook.

The link in my OP says the M305 has 'optical' and not 'laser' technology. Is that an issue? I don't understand the practical differences.

I've used both and I like the regular optical ones more. I guess it is an individual preference. I do a fair about of spreadsheet work as well as VPN/Remote Desktop work...... no gaming. 90% of the surfaces I use the mouse on work just fine.... otherwise I just use it on a piece of paper.

Take a look at this for more info.

I've got two Microsoft (oops, I meant Logitech) wireless mouses (mice?), two slightly different models, each with the nano receiver.

They're at work right now so don't have the model numbers (actually, I do: M505).

I think these things are the greatest computer purchase I've ever made!

Logitech M505. It even uses the Unifying Receiver.

The three wireless mice I use (M$ wireless optical laptop) are symmetrical and you can program all the buttons to your needs.

I use a M505, the first one on the left. I'm right handed, but the form is identical on both sides. Although the Logitech site has it $49.95, OfficeMax sells it for $34.95.

Amazon.com has it for $36.xx & free shipping. Since I have a big credit with them I'll get it there. Thanks for all the feedback. :)

Dell occasionally sells the Logitech V450 for $19. Fantastic travel mouse.

Logitech M305 for $11 after rebate. If you don't have Prime, buy two and get free shipping (rebate allows for two purchases).

Price only good on black, silver, and dark fleur.

Just put in my order for two. Must order by 10/9 for rebate. Thanks.
