Interestingly I've not seen Bob's reply yet! I have preferred the Marble Mouse
concept as I've found using fingers gives tighter control - way back with my
first PC (a laptop) I had a convertable mouse which worked as a mouse one way
up and a trackball the other way. This worked very nicely as a trackball.
Having said that I suspect that the wrist movement on this sort may be little
different to that on my current mouse setup. In this case the thumb wheel makes
most sense, and I had been looking at the Logitech M570 [1], although I'm not a
fan of wireless mice and keyboards as the batteries never seem to last very
long for me :( At one point PC World had them on display and you could have a
play, but not anymore it seems :( (Hmm, it's gone up £2 while I've been typing
this!!)
