802.11b wireless optical mouse from Elecom

While wireless mice may be two a penny these days, examples with a range of 30 metres are something of a rarity. Elecom's M-D6UR uses 802.11b WiFi instead of the usual Bluetooth or infra-red to get you that range boost, with the caveat that using it on a steel desk will apparently cut that down to 10 metres (you need to use wood for best results). Anyway, a must for anyone whose monitor of choice is a giant wall-mounted LCD. We know you're out there somewhere. Price is around the Y6,000 mark; battery life is 30 hours, and the USB 1.1 receiver slots neatly into the back of the mouse when not in use.
