mouse question

[tracymort]

i saw a mouse once that didn't need a surface, think it was aimed at laptops. you kind of held with a finger through the back of it and your thumb working a ball. does anyone know what this is called or where i can find it?

I haven't seen the hand held type recently, but there are lots of the type that sit flat on the desk around. PC world have many, but they'll be cheaper at computer fairs. They used to be called 'trackballs'.

I have one of those and it is made by Trust and its called the AMI HAND TRACK. You can still get them Dabs have got them. http://www.dabs.com/uk/shopbybrand/trust/mice/ProductView.ht m?quicklinx=2FVZ

thank you! i did look at dabs but there were so many mice and not knowing the name i gave up looking.

Go to somewhere like PC World, Staples etc. My trackball isn't handheld, which I find easier, less wrist strain than using normal mouse. Logitech do a good range
