Would consider this offer if I didn't already get in on the Amazon deal during its brief window of being in stock.

$79.99 (@ Best Buy)
- 23.10 (110% pricematch to CompUSA's $59.99)
- 20.00 (mail-in-rebate from BB)
- 15.99 (20% off Logitech Rebate)
-------------
$20.90
the so called "manager" was saying that the $20 rebate from BB won't come in because of the pricematch....can anyone comment on this???

I can't find the rebate. I was trying to peice together a deal from bb since I don't have a Staples anywhere near me, but I don't see the $20 rebate, that would make it sweet.

Ok i went to BB and looked into the rebate for the mouse..yes there is a $20 rebate on this thing..but the thing is that the rebate says "Original UPC cut from box". and the Logitech rebate also says original UPC cut from box...
so that there in lies the problem...i wonder if anyone has talked with either of these companies and tried their rebate handling departments to just take the photocopy of the UPC...
i'll try taking to them tomorrow..and see what happens.![]()

Your math is a little off I think.
79.99 PM 110% to 59.99...is $22.00 off or 110% of the difference ($20)
the 20% Logitech rebate will be off of what the reciept says you paid, in this case $57.99 (79.99 - 22)
So 20% of $57.99 is $11.60
After you do the math correctly the total will be...$26.39 + whatever tax you paid.

I ordered these online last week from Staples, knowing CompUsa would have them @ the $59.99 price-
Picked up 3 + a pack of rubber bands to hit over $200. Applied a $50 off coupon, plus a $40 Discover card reward certificate. PM'd all three later at my local B&M down to the CompUsa price, resulting in a $64.95 credit back to my card.
3 of the rebates to send in, @ $15.99 ea ($79.99 x 20%, the price I paid on my receipt I made copies of) is another $47.97 off. Have sold the two extras already for around $60 ea.
So, grand total: $240.87- $90 in coupons - $64.95 in PM - $47.97 rebate - $120 in "excess" sale= -$82.05 in my pocket + a free MX700 to keep.
Not a bad deal, if I do say so myself!

I don't have to raise the thumb up like with the MX700 (although the MX700 has 2 thumb buttons)
... and what's with this MX having two thumb buttons... hello! Last time I looked I only had one thumb on each hand! Is this thing 2-handed or something?
Oh I see. Sorry... my badLordGord, you can always use your left thumb to press the 2nd thumb button when needed.

Very interesting deal.
I'm gonna have to try this and have read lots of good reviews bout it. My original MS Expolorer's starting to die out on me so I need a new one soon.
Only thing that concerns me is the weight of it. Is it considerable heavier then a regular mouse?
