Do you think this would work well for kids from 4-10 yrs old?  I'm looking for something easy to use that doesn't require them to slide it all over the desk.

I'd probably go with one of the newer Logitech trackballs.  (I actually might have one lying around...I'll look)

You'd probably get some buyers if you put it up on eBay.

I am left-handed and have no probs mousing with my right hand.  I've always simply thought of it as the "proper" way to do so.

I'm left-"footed" as well (favor the left foot for kicking/punting/etc)...but that doesn't mean I require a car with the accelerator pedal on the left side. :)


Anyways, you should get them one of these:

Excellent.  I'll be watching the 'bay for one.  In the meantime they'll be using an old Logitech serial mouse.

(I was actually being a bit daft when I made the lefty comment, as my two leftward-persuaded children do just fine with right handed gear of all kinds.  In fact, my left-handed daughter plays mini-golf right-handed by preference, and will probably bat right-handed when she starts playing softball.)
