I once talked with a Digi-Key representative (online chat) and she explained to me that the prices on Digi-Key.ca include all duty fees and there's no brokerage fees when you order from them. Shipping is also pretty fast, considering the duty times. About one day from the USA warehouse to Montreal, then it gets stuck about 4-5 days in Montreal, then one day later you receive your parts.
So if you live in Canada and you order from Newark, Mouser or some other place, you'll get hit with 20$CAD brokerage fees on top of whatever duty fees you have to pay. So the 0.669$USD ATtiny13A from Newark ends up costing a lot more than the 1.06$CAD one from Digi-Key.
I do agree on the ATtiny85 vs ATtiny13A or even ATmega168, I was merely listing the cheapest one as an example.

[Stares at his advisors accusingly] Advisor Wedgie: You did, sir. President Hathaway: Fair enough. Wilson, fire somebody! Wilson: Yes, sir, Mr. President.

And if you can later learn to code in C, your project may not even need an ATmega328. As an example, the ATtiny13A is only 1.06$CAD at Digi-Key.ca.
What about us, eh?

If I remember correctly my M-BA47 came with a "USB-to-PS/2" adapter. I'm guessing its electronics are PS/2 compatible.
As for the unusable middle mouse button, I use it so rarely that most of the time I don't even remember it's there.
Besides, which company out there makes good mouses and doesn't crap on Linux users?

The trouble with making filament is not that it’s hard, it’s that it is hard to do consistently. You want filament that’s round and doesn’t vary more then 0.05mm in diameter. - daid303
