Hey does anyone know where to get the mini optical mouse now a days, it use to be on newegg and amazon but now amazon cost f****** 49.99 for a old mouse. Is there like a website that still retails them? Like you can get dt35 on starcraftmecca, but I asked Edwin Jung and he said that the demand is not high enough to have the mini optical come into Canada. Didn't Target sold the mouse at one point? Anyone have any idea where i can get one besides ebay and amazon?

Why the hell would you want an LMO? Buy a different cheap laser or optical mouse, it will be the exact same pretty much. Just because progamers use it, doesn't mean it's better than anything else. The only reason they use it is because it was cheap lol, then they grew accustomed to it so there was no reason to change. If you are really dedicated though, have you tried ebay or craigslist? One of those might have one for cheap.

edit: also TL=/=google you really weren't trying at all there.

ok, didn't read from not ebay... dunno why not. I doubt you'll be able to find anywhere else, most North Americans have large hands in general.

Oh, also you might be able to swipe some from an old high school computer lab or something. I know our school used to use exclusively LMOs until we got new computers.

I have bought the razer lachesis, razer mamba, a4 tech, and a trillion other mouses, nothing comes close to the mini optical in feel.

Look for the logitech football mouse. They are more common than the original these days and I have found quite at least 20 still remaining at stores for $20 in Aus after ringing around.

the LMO is fucking hard to get if you're from Canada. ive been trying to get it for ages. for some reason, no one wants to ship that item over here.

The mini optical is a decent mouse with decent tracking. The new gaming mice track better - if you don't like them it's solely personal preference.

Does anyone know an alternative to this mouse sold in canada? I've been looking for wired mouses that are about the size of a laptop mouse but its near impossible to obtain the mini optical or a salmosa here in canada and the new razer abyssus or orochi are a bit expensive. I'm currently using a wireless laptop mouse and its annoying to have to change batteries in the middle of a game.

no luck personally i think kinzu might be a good alternative, but idk, like i looked up only and people said it was like 9.99 on neweggs just last year, guess it's gone for good, i've also contacted CEO of starcraftmecca, he said the demand isn't high enough for him to get a bulk shipment from korea (unlike the dt35)

I can easily find Kinzus for 35 bucks in BC (from NCIX) but from what I can tell its a pretty large mouse...I haven't seen the actual product though just basing it off dimensions given online.

I ordered the xai from that site, i have a razor diamond back 3g and i just hate the grip, i have to claw grip which isn't my fav, kinzu is pretty nice, 5% smaller than the xai
