Belkin USB Mouse

RRP: $19.95 Belkin USB Mouse

The Good: The first three-button mouse we've encountered for ages, the USB mouse sells itself on simplicity. You can install Belkin's Mouse application, but all that does is set the priority for the third button; some versions of Windows may allow you to do this automatically anyway.

The Bad: Like every other ball mouse, a mouse pad is strongly advised. Three buttons may be good for gamers, but for productivity a wheel would be better.

The Verdict: The second-cheapest mouse in our roundup (the Kensington 2 button ValuMouse is cheaper); the Belkin USB Mouse is a perfect example of getting what you pay for.
