Not a certainty
This was already posted once. Staples policy is quite clear... since they are different colours Staples does *NOT* have to PM this.
Great news if you get it ... but don't whine here and bash Staples if you don't!!_______________

those who search for hidden messages, and those who don't.

Good deal. A bit of a repost though:

Remember, since it IS a different colour, so YMMV

I'm not sure I could comfortably use a mouse whose color is called "Periwinkle".

This is a great mouse, I have the black "leather look/feel" version I got from the Staples double instant rebate mistake a while back. Best $10 I ever spent on a mouse

Range isn't that great if you're looking for range though, so be warned. I've used it to control presentations at school so the range isn't terrible in an open environment, provided the receiver is mounted in a high/clear location; still don't expect anything further than 2-3 metres.
Used close to the PC it is perfect--feels great (great ergonomics), batteries last long, and it works very well if you ask me (the best mouse I've owned). Feels solid too, as with most Microsoft hardware it isn't cheapy feeling or flimsy at all.

I own the steel blue one...
And its the best mouse I own. Better than my MX500, better than my MX300. The tilt wheel is cool, but the nice smooth scroll is the key here - much smoother than the logitech ones that seem to "click" to a position. Great for big hands and batteries last a long time under heavy use. Good range too.

Apr 11th, 2005 02:11 AM #14I agree about the smooth feeling of the mouse. Plus the center of gravity is bettter placed than the Logitech. The only weakness, the red light under the mouse is not centered, but on the left. When your too close to the edge of a pad, it goes off the reflection area.

This looks like one of the bigger mice. So if you're known to have this same problem as me, make sure you at least see it in store before you buy.
