Notebook mouse?: boycott Logitech!

I just bought a notebook mouse, a Logitech V220, and it is the biggest POS and this is a mouse we're talking about. You expect it to just work.

The design is really stupid especially the battery replacement system. I've read of several reviews that allow comments of people who can't figure out how to change the battery. It's a real stupid design but I was able to.

When I plug it in, nothing works! What a POS! I am now going to boycott Logitech. Companies shouldn't profit and benefit from releasing pieces of crap!

That really helps. Such a shame to waste your time like that.

Yes.

I am requesting alternatives. Recommendations for a wireless notebook mouse. Even if I considered Logitech, their mice are over $40 for any of the ones that have high ratings. I can't possibly consider those at that price with my experience.

What is a good mouse, that has the smaller Nano (type?) USB receiver?

I'll even go with Logitech! ;-) Maybe the V450 Nano? I thought that one looked okay. I want one for my notebook so I don't want a wireless mouse that has the larger flash drive size of usb dongle. I also thought maybe a notebook mouse will be too small so it can be regular size but I want the USB receiver to be the smaller ones (often called a 'Nano' receiver?).
