Title: Mini USB Finger Trackball Mouse

I'm really not sure what the point of a device like this is, but it looks interesting... not particularly effective, but interesting. I try to think of some possible specialized use for it like for people with specific disabilities that would make using a track pad hard, but something this tiny and requiring such refined motor control might not leave them much better off.

I guess if you crave attention and want people to ask, "What the hell is that on your desk?" then this is the input device for you.
