I just recently got a new Marble mouse, the one with the ball in the
middle and buttons either side, quite cheap and lovely! Much more
ergonomic than a mouse and great for everything. Still got bad RSI
though... The ball being a scroll wheel on clicking 4th button thing
is pretty awesome too, and quite easy to set up with minor xorg
effort.
