After converting one of the Atari trak balls to work with the ST (and
replacing the cord so I got both buttons :-)  I found that the trak ball
takes as much, if not more, desk space than the mouse would.  Of course,
one could use the trak ball in his/her lap, but then I an using a rigid
mouse pad that the same could be done.

The Wico trak ball is smaller, but almost impossible to find.

I've also picked up a couple of different brand mice, and hooking them up,
the 200dpi take about  1/4 less room to move full screen, and the 400dpi
take 1/2 of that.  The 400dpi mouse could use an SF354 as a mouse pad with
lots of room left.
