I work with people with disabilities like CP, thus they often have
trouble using a mouse. Some can use keyboard shortcuts and mousekeys,
but almost all have had success with a Kensington ExpertMouse
trackball. It has a nice size ball (about the size of a cue ball) and 4
programmable buttons. I like the buttons because you can program them
not only for things like click and right click, but also for a number of
other things like double click or drag or scrolling. It retails for
$99, but you can usually find it for less.

His greatest problem was selecting with the mouse, his hand was not
steady enough to use menus. Definitely a situation where keyboard input
would be superior to mousing.
That's the biggest problem I've observed also. I have one Trakball,
and nearly everyone is successful with that. I have a keyboard
shortcut chart on the wall, but some can't seem to get the hang of
that either.
