1) Have you seen the number of buttons on the typical puck on your typical
   dedicated CAD system?

2) Have you ever heard of the Writehander. This guy invented a gadget that
   had 4 finger keys and 3 thumb keys that he used to completely replace the
   keyboard. Looked like a pregnant Mouse. Put a ball under it and there
   you have it.
