Trackball
Easy to move and position, the BIGtrack 2.0 is
an easy-to-use USB mouse that includes a large 7.6cm trackball, meaning it requires less fine motor control than a standard trackball. Compatible
with most laptop, desktop and tablet computers, its sturdy base allows users to easily move and position the mouse pointer on the computer screen while using fine or gross motor movements of the hand, arm or foot. Once the mouse pointer is positioned, two over-sized buttons enable easy left and right clicking. It also has a clever drag lock feature that enables users to move objects on the screen without having to hold the mouse click button down.
RRP: $160
