Note! If you have participated in the Microsoft rebate for this product this year, then you are not eligible for another rebate. The Microsoft rebate originally ended on June 30, but has since been extended to September 30.
Best Buy has the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical for $24.99 - $15 manufacturer rebate this week (page 29).
Office Depot has the same item for $19.99 - $5.00 instant rebate = $14.99 (page 6).
Go to Best Buy and buy mouse, then go to Customer Service and price match to Office Depot. You pay:
$24.99 Best Buy
$11.00- 110% PM to Office Depot
$15.00- Best Buy rebate
$10.00- Microsoft Manufacturer rebate
-------
$11.01-
plus tax (if applicable) and stamp for rebate.
Ok, here are the links:

Link to mouse at OfficeDepot.com
Link to Best Buy $15 rebate for model D66-00021 (newer version) of this mouse
Link to Best Buy $15 rebate for model D66-00029 (older version) of this mouse
Link to (at BestBuy.com) Microsoft $10 rebate for model D66-00021 (newer version) of this mouse...I suspect Microsoft will accept this form for model D66-00029 as well, but to be safe, just use the alternate form below.
Link to (at Staples.com) Microsoft $10 rebate for either version of this mouse. This is essentially the same rebate (same address) as the one above. I have called the Microsoft rebate center and this form is acceptable for either model of the mouse and they will accept a printout of this coupon for the rebate.
As noted above, the D66-00021 model # of this mouse is a newer revision than the D66-00029 model. These model #s will be on the Microsoft product label found on top of the retail box. Both boxes will say "Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical". The D66-00021 model will have an additional feature listed as "Three Programmable Buttons" that will not be found anywhere on the D66-00029 retail box.
Also the D66-00021 has a portion that is Black in color. The D66-00029 is a slightly transparent white-ish blue-ish color.
Edit: Oh yeah, I did this myself; it worked fine. The Best Buy rebate only requires a copy of the UPC.
