Greetings

I seem to remember a thread involving pointing devices but I can't find it. The one I am interested in is somewhat of a hand-held mouse. It fits over the first two fingers of your hand and has a trackball that would be operated by your thumb. I think the mouse buttons are located in the loop that your fingers fit into and also next to the thumb-operated trackpad. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

I got mine for 15 bucks at Fry's Electronics. Haven't seen them anywhere else. It's made by some no-name Chinese company and it's got a cheap plasticky feel, but it works pretty well. The trigger acts as a left button, along with left and right buttons above the trackball. It works well with USB Overdrive, where I set the right button to be a Drag Lock button, otherwise dragging with this trackball is a pain.
