I have two suggestions for you. 1. Forget the damn touchpads and get a Logitech TrackMan Marble FX. This is a finger-actuated optical 3+1 button trackball with a cool ergo shape for your right hand. Logitech has pictures of them on their web site. I can't recommend this mouse enough. It rox0rs. 2. Go find an Alps Glidepoint touchpad. A friend had one; they're cool. I've never owned one so I can't tell you what they're really like to use. Greg -- Gregory S.
