O.P. a good mouse
hello

The one thing I am missing in my mouse, which i really want is a pagedown and pageup button.

I have a scroll wheel, but its no good for browsing long pages.

So any suggestions for a good, but cheap mouse?

optical is a must, and i dont have a preference over wireless/wired, but it has to have a USB interface.

RE: a good mouse
you can set a mouse to scroll further on each click... not sure about yours, but you can with mine

RE: a good mouse
the logitech mx900 is very good its even better if you get the keyboard with it , but it has the scroll up and down buttons and back and foward browsing buttons on the side :D

* -dt- has the inferred version of it which is the mx500 mx700

Ya, the MX500 (I have it) is good - the MX900 sucks [I hate wireless mice].
It costs like $50 Canadian/$40 USD though :P

O.P. RE: a good mouse
all i want is a mouse with a scroll wheel, page up/down button, usb interface and is optical.

So, can those buttons be programmed to go page up/down?

$40, thats about £22, so maybe.

The best mouse in the world is arguably the Logitech MX1000 which is wireless and super l33t. I have the MX700 and wouldn't touch a corded  mouse now :D

Look out for the MX510 which is also a superb mouse albeit wired, but still fairly good. I think there is a model that is superceding it, so you might be able to find one reasonably cheap (y)

I have the Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard and mouse. The mouse that comes with this is the: "Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0". It's great - I would definately recommend it.

I've got the same mouse as blade, great mouse. With 2 side buttons it's good for gaming and I haven't had any problems with it.
