Looking for XY Laser Hardware

Hey fellers...I'm looking for a halfway decent XY/Crosshair laser module to put on my router. Do you guys have any suggested models/brands that you're happy with? I'd rather not shotgun it and try a handful of cheap ones...also not looking to drop $300 on a fancy industrial one. What sayeth thee? Links?
Would also appreciate any pics showing where you mounted yours on the machine so I can cobble together some kind of mount for mine.
Thanks!!!

I don't remember which one and I can't read Chinese. It's been working fine since 2019. Designed a 3d printed snap clamp mount.

Mine is very similar but bought off Amazon. Mounts to the Z axis back plate and runs off the Acorn 5v supply. I'll see if I can find a link.

Just following up. I bought this unit for around $10 and it's got nice thin, sharp lines when 6 to 10" above the table. In case anyone else is interested in one...10mm dia 30mm long; 3-5vdc.
