Looking for a rollerball thing for the PC?

[Marne]

I havn't got a clue what its called so i cant search for one.

I am trying to get dd2 more interested in the PC, at nursery she uses a roller ball thing instead of a mouse which i was shown last week, i was thinking of getting one (if not too expensive) for her to use at home as she loves watching dd1 playing cbeebies on the PC but can't get the hang of using a normal mouse.

Does anyone know what they are called? or where i can get one?

oh i found one this, does anyone know where i can get one a bit cheaper (they are a little bit more than i thought).

I've used this company a lot, but it is dear.

There are these: from Amazon, cheap but I'm not sure how sturdy it would be. The ones from Inclusive Technology I have seen be thrown across the room and survive.

I like using the marblemouse

The only thing to watch for is the ball being removed and lost. Apart form that, they're pretty robust, though. A typical mouse lasts me about 12-18 months before developing unfixable problems, while I've got through just 3 marblemice in 13 years.
