I use a Kensington Expert mouse with a pool ball instead of the stock
one.

(And for the record, I am a laptop user - and I think the little
trackpad
and the silly nipple-in-middle-of-keyboard work so poorly for
accurate
positioning (the kind you need for, say, cut-n-paste) that I carry a
Microsoft optical trackball and use that instead.)

The Ikon, originally the product of the Canadian Educational
Microcomputer
project, and eventually sold to Burroughs (whence it disappeared more
or
less at
once), had a wonderful, huge, heavy, inertia-rich trackball.  I fell in
love with it
immediately, and, when I couldn't have one, have wondered the world
since,
desperately trying to regain my lost love (or something even vaguely
similar).
