I thought of that- eBay and such. The problem is finding the lenses
in small quantities- they seem to have minimum orders of 2000 and up!
I emailed Sparkfun with a suggestion that they stock the chip. They
were very positive but we shall see. If you have some supplier of
hobbyists like Sparkfun in the UK, then perhaps you could try to get
them to stock the chips and lenses.
Meantime I suppose that I will try Avago directly for samples. They
can only say "No".

AVNET (avnet.com) sells in single quantities but the stock is zero and.
availability is 13 weeks. Could buy 20 and sell 16 on eBay (PITA, I know)
or still use eBay and buy used Logitech G500 mice (search of completed
listings yielded $40 as the lowest price) and de-solder. Just kidding :)
In my mind, if you need four and can only get 20 for $5.58 each, by the
time you figure in development time and other costs (whatever it is you
are building) the $90 difference would seem very insignificant and you'll
have 16 spares for just in case.
Else just contact Avago Technologiers directly, explain what the chips are
for and I am almost 100% sure they'll be happy to send you samples (for
free or nominal cost).
Good luck!

Future Electronics is the only source that has the ADNS-9500 laser
mouse chip in stock but the minimum order is 20 units. I tried the
usual suspects, ie. Newark, Mouser, Digikey, etc. but nobody has them.
Does anyone know of a source that will sell in lots of 4?
