I know I might be nitpicky about things, but if anyone knows something that is close to or matches the criteria below, please let me know!

1) 1600 dpi or above (most mouse I see are only 1000 or 1200dpi)
2) Wireless, with nano receiver (USB receiver does not extend out significantly)
3) Full sized (length ~= 120mm)
4) At least 3 months battery life (I currently have a Pixxo wireless mouse which works very well, with the exception that I have to change batteries every 3 weeks, which is somewhat of a pain)
5) Laser is located in the center of the mouse, not the side (e.g. Logitech M510 has the laser positioned on the side of the mouse, rather than the center, making tracking of horizontal movements quite difficult)
6) Preferably by a good reputable company that would have good warranty that is backed by their customer service
7) Preferably under $35 - not really looking for a gaming mouse - just a good, decent wireless mouse
8) Have 5 buttons (3 main buttons, 2 side back and forward buttons)

After some heavy searching, I could only come up with one of them that matches the above criteria as much as possible:

1) GIGABYTE GM-ECO600 Black 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB RF Wireless Laser 1600 dpi Mouse

* This one looks pretty good, except that its shipping seem a little high and that it has annoying blue lights that are constantly on and wasting battery (although it runs 1 year off 2x AA)

If anyone have seen anything better, let me know. I would love to hear from ya!
Thanks! :P

that mouse is marked "new arrival" and it has good feedback... (sign up for their newsletter if you're not already a subscriber) and keep watching, they'll put it up with free shipping sooner or later.

If you are OK with bluetooth then there's this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826146013

A4Tech makes pretty damn good reliable and cheap mouse but I don't think they are widely available in the US.

Also, if you are worrying about shipping then just get a month's trial of shoprunner.

This looks good, although it looks like it's a mini mouse (100mm) - looks to me as the only regular wireless full sized mouse Gigabyte has is the ECO-600, which is quite strange... :(
