<p class="MsoPlainText">I've been using Kensington Expert Mouse trackballs for years. The current model is optical. Very smooth, rarely needs cleaning. Comes with an optional wrist support, which I use, my one complaint about the product is that that tends
to come loose. I have not found smaller trackballs as easy to use.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I use them with Kinesis Freestyle 2 keyboards with the VIP3 lifter attachment. I place the two parts of the keyboard about 6.5" apart.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Using a laptop keyboard for any amount of time seems like a good way to injure yourself. I can fit a Freestyle and Expert Mouse in my not very large laptop backpack with room to spare.<o:p></o:p></p>
