Stupid Mouse

I bought a bluetooth mini mouse last month for my new laptop and the damn thing broke already. It is bizarre. It tries to turn on and the LED inside flashes on then it turns it self off. Of course it breaks the week after I throw away the unopenable plastic package.  I wrote to IOGear support. Hopefully they will take it back.  If not, any other good bluetooth mini mouse?
Why is the standard packaging for most items the plastic that has to be cut open? If your not careful opening the plastic will cut the hell out of you.  Stupid plastic.
