Any ideas?

Just get an optical mouse.

There were some forum threads about this from time to time. E-Bay keeps being mentioned as a good place.

whats a optical mouse?

Theres a mouse that uses a rolling ball and a mouse that has a little motion senser light thingy ( I wanna say it's a laser , but I know it's not really a laser) An optical mouse won't get sticky or anything and you dont need a mouse pad for it.

Best Buy and Circuit City both carry Wacom Graphire II tablets for about $99- it's what I have, and it's always served me well.

I have an optical mouse but it doesn't really work well for me...I need a tablet TT_TT

I have a Wacom Graphire 3 tablet and it cost me about $100 at my local electronics store.

If you pay $100 for a wacom graphire tablet, you're being ripped off. Just so you know. You should be able to get it for $80 if you look.

You could get one for free, just depends on how good of a theif you are.

maybe go to ebay? Or amazon.com? Ebay has nice stuff sometimes and amazon sells a lot of stuff that are cheaper than prices in stores...I found my mp3 player there which I bought at a store and and it was like $40 cheaper...and I was like f**k

Exactly what Becca said.

Same here. I love my $99 dollar tablet.

bought mine with 60€ :) Wacom Volite <3

my mom is having a hard time finding a tablet for me for some reason. i don't know where she has looked or anything, becuase its supposed to be a x,as gift for me. i told her best buy but she still can't find one. i have no idea why... or maybe she has found one, but not the righ price... i'm still not sure about that myself...
