A large tracking ball requires less fine motor control than a standard mouse and is ruggedly built, with separate right and left mouse click buttons to avoid unwanted mouse clicks. Some versions have a cursor trail function to lengthen the cursor’s trail to make it easier to see – ideal for children with visual overload problems. Just as important is the feature in some models that enables the tracking ball and a second mouse to be connected together to allow for joint participation. Other mouse alternatives:
