Amazon offers its Amazon Prime members the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000, model no. 63A-00001, for $11.95 with free shipping. (Non-members can bag free shipping on orders over $25; otherwise, shipping adds $5.58.) That's $4 under last year's mention and the lowest total price we could find now by $7. This cordless USB mouse has a 3-foot range, tilt wheel, magnifier button, five customizable buttons, and more.

Amazon Prime membership is $79 per year; however, Prime is free for college students for six months, and free for parents and caregivers for three months.
