Zalman ZM M250 or the SS Kana, those are the only cheaper mice with a similar shape that a quick search yields.

A normal mouse in my opinion is good enough

Nice stuff rarely looks like it belongs in an office. Also, what the heck kind of place wouldn't let you use an FK at the office? It's one of the most understated gaming mice ever, IMO (unless it's the yellow that's the problem).

The Office is covering it's arse regarding the possible loss of a worker's own mouse at the workplace, which might lead to accusations and other uncomfortable workplace problems.

That is why most workplaces frown at you bringing in your own equipment in, due to theft and possible damage that might occur to that item.  I remembered where I worked in a few places where knives were drawn due to stolen/missing - tools/equipment.

Theft is a major problem in any workplace.

I could use an FK at the office, no problem.

But it's a little expensive to be getting a second :/

I just want something with a similar shape.

That seems absolutely insane to me.

It does to me too. But that's not my issue. My issue is $$$
