I have 2 usb mice, both optical. One is a Logictech and the other is the Microsoft Explorer mouse. I like them both. The logictech is for my laptop and was only $19. can't beat that, and it works great. I got the explorer mouse for my desktop, mainly cause of the 5 buttons. great for gaming. I'd recommend both, however the explorer mouse is kinda pricey, and i do believe logictech has a 5 button mouse out there somewhere.
