I bought a wireless mouse for my laptop. It is not always comfortable though because I don’t have a good mousing surface. I am glad to know that there is a latest electronic gadget called the Swiftpoint Slider. It is a tiny and very handy mouse. There are a couple of ways to hold it, either grip it similar to a pen (as shown) or you can lie it down and move it with your thumb sitting on top of it. It will work on most flat surfaces, including on top of your laptop keyboard. I’ll use my travel mouse on the palm rests just below the keyboard, but that’s not always enough room, so this would certainly give you a larger area to work with.
