why is this mouse so expensive? I bought it for less than $50 a couple of years ago.

A couple of years ago alot of people had them and were selling. Low supply of remaining left over new ones has increased prices and costs for vendors to get them.

Supply and demand. Logitech took this popular mouse out of production so sellers with old stock are price gouging. Don't waste your money, we have had 4 of these and the last one is failing now. My wife and I each had 2, both of hers lasted about a year each, I got about a year and a half out of mine with moderate use (no gaming). They were marginally worth the $30/each we paid back when you could find them everywhere.

I've had one of these for about 4 years now. It has been an awesome mouse but the left click button has recently started to act up on me. I came to Amazon to order another one because I've been so happy with it and found that this is no longer going for the $70- I paid.Seeing the new price this is going for ($289.99), they can get bent. I'll find something else!

Because its successor (Wireless Anywhere) extremely sucks. It heavier and bigger. I personally, would pay up to $100 for this one if it is new.

Hi, I bought this mouse as a gift for my husband and it was broken 2 months later. I am not sure if I recommend you to buy that!

G510, when I got it on sale, was $75. Well worth the price difference, at the time. If it's not an emergency, just wait a while for the price to go down some on the 510. I don't think it'd be worth $40 difference, to me at least. Also, the G510 does NOT have the USB port on the back that is listed on the G110 - although from reading the G110 comments it seems like it was buggy anyways.

i was wondering the same thing. I paid about $30 for mine about 15+ years ago. Still works perfectly, but NOT worth $150.

Apparently back in 07' the price dropped as low as $150.00. Would absolutely buy one if it dropped to the 150-200 price range.

Wish I had a answer for you. Their support is terrible plus I am on my 3rd mouse in less than one year. I would return it and try someone else's.

I love this mouse. It fits my hand perfectly - I use it for hours without discomfort. Buttons are in the perfect location and it's become an extension of my hand. I own three of them. It's not worth $229, but if there was no alternative, I'd probably consider buying it. It's all about personal preference against what the market will bear (and if they are not making them any longer...).

It's smaller than a standard mouse, I believe, but it's not one of those tiny mouses. To me, it's the perfect inbetween. I have it gor a couple years and love it. Hope that helps.

If you only get one mouse refill for $13+ --- price is unreasonable. I purchased two replacements for $7 and got free shipment from onlynaturalpet.com --- merchant listed as alternate choice on Amazon ... free shipment was special promotion for new customers today (3/17/14).

If you go to http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-D66-00029-Wheel-Mouse-Optical/dp/B00006B7HB?ref_=pe_527950_34207370 , there are 12 used ones starting at $4.91 and one refurbished at $19.95 .

I *think* I paid ~$50 for it around 4 years ago. It definitely has a good sound, but is only that expensive because Logitech doesn't make it anymore. In fact, I have been unable to find any similar quality USB laptop speaker from other manufacturers. Everything seems to be Bluetooth which doesn't work well with Windows 7.

I agree with Marcus. I am having same issue on my second M570. Logitech is using cheap parts to save cost.

Because some people think they can get away with charging that much. I have one for about 2 years now ($75) and love it. Made a huge difference with carpel tunnels. I recommend it highly. But if mine broke today and I had to replace it and $230 was the only option, I would actually think about it.

I don't think you can buy one. I broke the USB hub for my mouse at work and went over to our High Tech folks looking for a replacement. They told me that each mouse comes with it's own USB hub made only for that mouse, and even buying another mouse of the same model would not work. I could not verify that one (about the same model) because I could not find my model any more. It was too bad to, because it was a great mouse.

It is a larger mouse and probably not the most comfortable fit for a small hand. It is however a very good mouse for the price. I prefer the MX 518 I use on my primary computer but it does cost 3 times as much.

As far as I know nothing. I saw a few different ones in Target over a year ago and they all looked alike aside from the mouse tray designs/colors. And honestly since this one was the cheapest that is why I got it I remember they were around $20 at Target back when. I just needed something functional so lower price was better. I could care less for the pink splash but the white/grey pattern is actually pretty nice.

works fine my wife uses it as well. Hope yours works better than mine. I have used this mouse over the last 5 years. Not the same one mind you.
