mouse

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I'm very partial to the Logitech marble track balls. They are very 
comfortable, and mine is several years old. I clean it every once in a 
while. Dust and stuff can accumulate. A clean rag with a bit of glass 
cleaner works great. After cleaning, the track ball works as new. 
My wife, on the other hand prefers the Kensington. 
I've found that cheap mice and track balls are garbage. Most don't stand 
up under daily use for a year or less. 
Comfort should be a high priority as a way to reduce any repettitive strain 
issues.
