Sorry it is driving me nuts on here.
I would go new if it includes more than a 30 day warranty and considering the loose definition of "refurbished".
Pretty sure he meant "wary"

Not uh.
I buy mostly refurbs and rarely have any issues.
I've had a Logitech Mediaplay mouse that I bought new in 2005, and it works as new, though there is some wear and the forward button is a bit sticky (coming up on it's when-ever-I-get-around-to-it cleaning soon!)
The only caveat is that I only buy refurbs of known brands of high quality from established vendors that provide a verifiable warranty. Good user feedback doesn't mean anything to me if there's no record of "I had a problem, but they took care of me, AND quickly!"
As has been mentioned, I woudln't buy a China-Brand X Duo refurb'd, because I wouldn't buy a China-brand X Duo new. A $30 Mediaplay mouse to replace the one I have currently some time in the future, you bet I'll be looking for a refurb!

I'd have decided on that model if it had the back/forward buttons, which I think it doesn't have...
I've really gotten used to them from my current logitech corded mouse which I have used for like 10 yrs, and I think despite having them, the M510 is still a pretty simple mouse.

I bought an MS optical mouse maybe 10 years ago and it is still perfect, even with very heavy use.
