I'd want to get a finger trackball, but they're kind of expensive. Something like Kensington Orbit.

Recently I got a mouse. One with side scroll wheel, but just a normal one. I am honestly disappointed. First 2 days I found myself being less accurate with it than TrackPoint. And it also feels less comfortable to use.
It's only better if I have a second monitor to the side.

Also, I wish I could somehow get easily varying sensitivity. Say, the more I press, the slower it moves. Or even just such 2 speed selector. Maybe it would get hard to predict with that pressure idea.

    God the buttons on that mouse are horrible. The scroll ring is nice, but not enough to keep it with the buttons like they are.

    The orbit worked really well for me. I used my thumb for the left click, pinkie for the right, and the other 3 to better control the ball.

    The only big complaint I have is the wrist rest they include: it's really hard, and comes off real easy.
