"Logotec makes all its mice in China. Most of the product value comes from American made chips, optics. Almost all flat screens made, of any size, use Corning Made in USA product." Links?

American made chips - not likely. The simple optical readers in traditional mice are commodity chips - very low price and certainly available from China.
Optics in a mouse? If any - injection molded plastic made anywhere. Corning's flat screen facilities are in Korea, Japan and Taiwan (presently expanding this facility). They also have a glass facility for LCD's in Kentucky. The US has never been a player in consumer level LCD's.

Methinks those on this thread defending overseas outsourcing are likely . . from overseas.

This was my understanding as well. About the only thing that still has U.S. componentry are the CPU's, and harddrives Read-write heads, but even there, we are looking at increasing offshoring.
