This explains why my colleagues all resist the introduction of the nice
toys I think are so effective - I almost never mouse and they are all
experienced, fast users.  I will put in a good word for the Knowles mouse
pen, however, which seems to retain the tracking advantages of a mouse
and yet allows one to keep the device close since you can roll it
anywhere.  Picking it up every time it's needed is a little irritating.

Does anyone have any data or additional experience with this device?
