Wireless Mouse Advice

I'm looking for a cheap wireless mouse with the range of about 10 feet.
I'm hooking up an old laptop to my TV screen and I want to be able to move the mouse from my bed. Newegg links would be awesome.

I would like to stay in the $20 or under range if possible. $30 max.

A quick search pops up these two, just slightly above $20.

Haven't tried them myself though, I abhor wireless mouse(es?).

I need it to stretch 10 feet. I was hoping someone who had a wireless mouse can make sure it works. Newegg doesn't list the distance. And the official site doesn't either.

I saw those on newegg, but I need the range to work.

They're RF, they'll go 10 feet. Unless you have a weird arrangement of RF blocking material there.

3 meters is close to 10 feet(9.84251969 feet to be exact). So it should definitely be good then.

I've had a mx1000 for a few years now and it's been the best mouse ever and it's still going strong. If i do get another mouse i'm going to try one of these although their not wireless.

That looks awesome. But I can't find a single place with a price or link to buy it anywhere. Is there a place to get it, or is the 'available now' just a tease?
