I used a trackball at work for a short time & just didn't work well for me.
laptop touch pads are too touchy for me
Tried the ergo mice , various brand name mice ,and they just didn't fit well for me, I always come back to the mid size plain Logitech mouse.

Same way w/ keyboards for me , I have to go to the store & actually put hands on. The spacing of the keys, pressure needed, how far they need depressed, LOL maybe I'm just picky.. But the huge ergo or split keyboards didn't work for me either.

I like the Logitech or HP wireless mice. These allow me to use the mouse comfortably on almost any surface including my leg.

The trackball or touchpads don't work well for me.

I cant use a mouse, but I can use the trackpad on my laptop(Mac) and I use mostly my left hand,(Non TOS side) even for typing now.

Can you get the Logitech mouse for Mac? I need to try to find either a wacom or a mouse that I can try to use for my left hand for when I do go back to work for graphic programs etc.

I believe both the HP and Logitech mouses work on Macs (USB dongle). On windows they can be switched between left and right handed operation.

You may want to checkout the Apple Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse.
