There is that, but that's still just a mouse in disguise. In fact, it's worse than a mouse, 'cos now you're pushing the mouse with buttons instead of just sweeping it across the mouse pad with your hand. I'm talking about a sort of quadtree-type spatial navigation where you zero in on the target position in logarithmic leaps, rather than a "linear" cursor displacement.
