Aha.  Although I appreciate that those are usable by lefties, I've
always found them clumsy.  The first type I linked to are much better,
IMO; only your thumb has to move and you can achieve very delicate and
precise control with them.  I have happily played games like Quake and
WoW using one (trackballs have a particular advantage for such games
because they never move and can be stationed permanently directly beside
your kb, for those times when you need to switch quickly from using both
kb and mouse to full-on kb frenzy).
