The MicroTrac Trackball from Clearly Superior Technologies offers a surprising degree of performance packed into a small package. The diminutive housing means the MicroTrac can easily fit in the palm of the hand, potentially reducing fatigue by reducing the need to reach for a mousing device. Users with average or larger hands may well be able to perform all functions with a single hand, using the thumb for button activation and trackball control. Those with smaller hands will easily be able to perform all functions with two hands since reaching with the thumb may not be sufficient. Alternatively, the MicroTrac can be placed wherever desired and used as a traditional trackball, with rubber feet ensuring secure positioning. The exceptionally compact design also means this device can be used by those with very limited range of movement or even by small children and yet users with large hands can still achieve reasonably effective control without feeling overly constrained by the compact size.

Although the MicroTrac trackball has minimal mass and is therefore unable to 'spin' freely as do its larger PC-Trac and L-Trac cousins, the built-in dynamic motion enhancement provides single-pixel control while still offering rapid movement over greater distances. Rolling the ball faster exponentially increases the cursor speed across the screen, move the ball slowly and you get single pixel accuracy. This three button trackball requires no special drivers or software. The middle button can perform both Drag-Lock and Scroll-Lock functions. An indicator LED notifies users when the Scroll-Lock mode is activated. Load balancing between hands is encouraged by the ability to simultaneously press all three buttons to switch them between Right and Left format.

With the MicroTrac you can work precisely and comfortably for hours at a time. The Drag Lock feature makes this product more comfortable by eliminating the need to hold down a button to highlight or select items. Simply tap the Drag Lock Button and the button stays 'locked' until hit a second time. The MicroTrac also far outperforms similarly-sized trackballs by offering much smoother movement combined with the superior control provided by the Dynamic Motion-Enhancement.

The SimplyWorks Wireless Trackball from Pretorian combines the established technology and design of the Optima Trackball with the expanded capabilities provided by the SimplyWorks Wireless connection.The SimplyWorks Trackball employs optical sensor technology that eliminates mechanical parts which can fail from wear while still offering precise tracking and cursor control. Trackball movement is silky smooth and the stable low profile footprint makes the SimplyWorks Wireless Trackball suitable for a wide spectrum of computer users. The extended operating range (in excess of 10 metres) makes it ideal for use in multi-user settings and classrooms as it can be employed as a desktop or handheld trackball.

The SimplyWorks Wireless functionality means that this trackball can be combined with any combination of up to 5 other SimplyWorks equipped devices to communicate with a single computer through a SimplyWorks Wireless RECEIVE. This makes it an ideal solution for co-operative learning and interactive multi-user activities.

Colour-coded and recessed control buttons for Left Click, Right Click, and Drag-Lock are positioned above the trackball. The recessed location assists users in guiding their fingers to the appropriate buttons as well as preventing accidental activation that could occur with flush or raised buttons. In addition, the SimplyWorks Wireless Trackball is also equipped with dual ports which accommodate the attachment of external switches for activation of the left and right click functions. These can be used to offer users with limited motor control alternative methods of clicking.

Robustly manufactured, the SimplyWorks Wireless Trackball is virtually maintenance free (with the exception of battery replacement) and will give years of untroubled service.

* SimplyWorks is the world's first fully integrated wireless system designed specifically for users with motor skill difficulties.

Note: The SwitchMouse has been discontinued. The HandshoeMouse SHIFT is an alternative that provides orthopaedic ergonomic support while serving equally well for both right- and left-handed use.

The Switch Mouse integrates two major innovations - a V-shaped base, which puts the wrist and forearm into a slightly more natural pronation for left or right-handed users, and the Extender feature which allow the mouse to 'stretch' to provide some adjustment to the length (but not the width) of the mouse. Other features include a built-in palm support to prevent contact stress on the wrist, four-way scrolling dish, and programmable buttons (requires installation of PC drivers) for user-specified functions. This mouse has a 1600 DPI laser sensor and comes only in a corded model (cord is 2 m in length).

The 19-Key USB Numeric Keypad and Optical Mouse from Adesso combines a numeric keypad with a mousing device for those who still need the benefits of a number pad but also need a mouse easily within reach. This device includes a transparent cover for the numeric pad when primarily mousing, so that keys are not accidentally activated during usage. There is a large scroll wheel on the pad when surfing the internet, while the mousing device has 1000 dpi resolution for smooth and accurate cursor control. The keys on the keypad feature a reduced key pitch (i.e. the keycaps and spacing are smaller than on a standard keyboard), allowing the mouse to be a standard size. If the key pitch of the keypad was standard, the mouse would only be usable by users with very large hands.
