Way back in the remote past (ie 25-30 years ago) when I was doing quite
a lot of Cad work I used a thumb controlled trackball for the better
accuracy it afforded, then I got a tablet thingy with a pen and threw
the trackball away !! 
Nowadays I use a Logitech M235 wireless mouse that fits in the palm of
my hand and have no problems using it. 
I think it was a good suggestion to rest the elbow on the desk top but
there are too many other things in the way, like three
keyboards/mice/monitors plus various scrap pads, microfiche and
usually a cup of coffee that I have to avoid knocking over !
But I have moved stuff around a bit and will try using the mouse with
the elbow supported.  Just as well it is a corner style desk that wraps
around me to some extent.
