What! I would buy atleast 10 and stock them for that price! (And it would
cost as much as one (cheap) costs here now - which is ca 20USD).

DIN as in non-PS/2 (as in not using up an IRQ without reason) and "normal"
as in "non-scroller".

Hmm... same price on Logitech mice (which is a cheap mouse here - others
cost much more). Atleast it's still working (this is my first Logitech
mouse and has been used for ca 1/2 a month - but it's a PS/2 (I - once
again - forgot to specify that I didn't want a PS/2 mouse and didn't notice
until I was home and haven't bothered with going back with it)).
If I knew that the Star Wars mice (mice with heads like Darth Vader or
C3PO) were any good I would buy one of those, but it's way to costly to
just buy to try them out (ca 45 USD IIRC).
