its less than $2 so what do you expect? its a presentation pointer and thats it. the specs are a lie, it will not shine over 1 mile. what are you looking for in a laser and please edit your previous posts instead of double posting

Well it depends on what you're looking for... if you want a nice laser pointer at 1mW at 650nm, that's a great deal if you're fine with waiting a month to get it :D

first off the one you posted is 650nm aka RED not GREEN. GREEN is 532nm and if all you want is something between $10-25 then buy a cheap ebay 532nm laser pen

he probably has no idea about mW so let me just say this, anything over 5mW can damage your vision. it may not be instant HOWEVER cumulative damage is just as bad

For a 5mW 532nm Laser that costs 10-25 dollars, go to Fry's and look around in their flashlight section. They have a number of 532nm lasers for around that price and they are definitely 5mW or less. Which means little to no eye damage. Just don't point it in your eyes and hold it there for 20 minutes or something idiotic like that :)
