Best for: Right-handed users wanting an upright alternative to a conventional mouse
Potential drawback: Needs room to move and a suitable USB port for its receiver; not a left-handed design

A stationary finger-operated trackball with Bluetooth, USB-receiver and wired connection options. Its ball also twists for scrolling.

Best for: Users comparing finger control with a thumb trackball, including left-handed users
Potential drawback: Twist-to-scroll needs practice; verify current software support for your operating system
