I had never heard of one until this evening. 馃槯

@SW-User My computer's mice and other peripherals have always had electrical leads... ;-)
Arm problems from too much mouse-driving led to my employer supplying me with a pointer that looked vaguely like a joy-stick, but in fact used in the same way as a mouse, though held in a much more natural manner, with the palm of the hand vertical and the fingers less tightly clenched.
The particular model I used was called by a "Penguin" by its makers, who continued the wit by giving it a stylised penguin appearance, but complete with bow tie as in the nickname for formal Dinner wear! The beak was one of the controls, the scroll-wheel I think, and the bow-tie operated the switch.
The device I use now, with my home PC, is similar but without any fanciful animal references.
I have used lap-tops with contact-pad cursor-drivers, and I think one with track-ball; but I find lap-tops generally physically awful things, and their screens would be too small for my purposes anyway.
