Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that, but this thing is just butt-ugly. No wonder the price is so low. If you want a conventional silver M325 the price jumps to $30. And despite BB noting 100 reviews for it, it doesn't seem to list a one.
Anyway, despite the inability to do anything with the scroll wheel except scroll and tilt (it's not programmable) it gets great reviews on Amazon. I've linked the M325 with the most REVIEWS

Admittedly it's pretty hideous, but it's better looking than what I currently have set up on one of my computers-two mice, one where the left button only works, the other where the right button works. In for two.

Who looks at their mouse when your hand is over it? Just the unifying receiver typically goes for over $5. I bought one of these last year and the performance is good for a low end mouse. It is a smaller mouse like the ones marketed for laptops vs. a traditional full size mouse.

It doesn't have the two extra buttons that default to back/forward for webpages does it? I like my 510 a lot because it has those and my son uses a 505 and it does not.

No, but the scroll wheel tilts left and right for the backwards/forwards functionality.
I also bought a 510 as Amazon finally matched BB's $17.99 price a few days ago. I bought it because it was full size.

Rats! Price is back up to $30 for 510 at Amazon! I'd really like an extra 2 buttons !
