Don't get a mouse - get a trackball, specifically this one:

Or in cordless if you prefer:

They work great (caveat - I only use corded ones, because I hate
batteries) with my Macbook Pro, and every other system I have used
them on (including Sun Sparcs as an aside). They are particularly
useful for portables as there often is not much space to deploy a
mouse, but you can hold a trackball on your thigh or chair armrest,
floor, etc.

My new (2-year old) MacBook Pro touchpad is driving me crazy. It had
been my intention to work with it until I got it down-cold, but I'm
ready to hang it up. I have to do a lot of right-clicking while
working with Win-XP and when I do the three-finger click, the cursor
sometimes jumps to another part of the screen.
I doubt there's any work-around - I think the answer is to just get a
windows compatible mouse. Any suggestions?
