I think the Mouse House is one vendor of them. They don't work quite the way you described. Generally they are not a good idea. Mice rely on eye-hand coordination, which breaks down badly when the display lags more than about 0.1 second behind the mouse. Mice work best in a much more closely-coupled environment. Why not just buy an AT&T 630?
