Should I buy Refurbished?

[edifyingkarma]

I just sold my G5 mouse as the ergonomics of the design caused my hand to cramp badly. Ive tried the MX Revolution and really like the feel of it.

I can get a really decent price on one refurbished and was wondering what the general consensus on refurbished mice was. Should I have an issue or should I pony up the money for a new one

i have bought them before but i would look at the item in person if possible and pick one that has the least scratches etc. Whats the price diff?

around 30 bux opposed to 60 new. It is through online vendor though so i cannot really see it

Worst case scenario is that the refurb won't work and nobody will warrant its functionality/workmanship. Then you end up buying a new one anyways, making it a $90 mouse. If you can't live with that risk, then you know what the answer is.

I bought refurbished logictech mouse before. After 3 years, its still working.
