That's normal, the US market is 10x the Canadian one, so even if you're able to corner a small area of the market, it's still brings 10x the volume than the same market in Canada. Volume helps a LOT to bring price down.

 

But we often have similar deals with the US, and when we're lucky, after conversion, our prices are lower.

 

RANT ;

Though, in some areas, we're getting totally screwed ... distributors know Canadians are used to see higher prices in Canada because our currency is lower, when it lowers in value, prices go up, but when the value of the CAD goes up, like in 2008 when the CAD was at par with the USD, prices stayed the same, and many Canadians were pissed. LOTS of Canadians even took the time to go to the US to buy cars, on a brand new car, even after the trip, import taxes and duty, you could save $10k.

 

Comparable products would cost double in Canada VS US, even on some products that were MADE in Canada !!!! (let's be real, if something is produced in your country, it shouldn't cost 50% more than in the neighbour country !).

DPI is listed as a max of 1000, but I can't find anything on polling rate.  That doesn't bode well.

... it's a $10 CAD mouse ... not sure what you're expecting here but it's not advertised as a gaming mouse.
