Are there any track/roller balls that are user friendly for people with Cerebellar Ataxia and very trembling hands?

🤔 Is this the sort of thing you’re looking for..

I have an IPad …and I need to use a Stylus because of shakiness, and poor perception.

Thank you for your information. I looked into this but a rollerball would be better, although will keep this information if there is nothing else.

I have a very old track/roller ball which is on its last leg so am looking for a replacement but found that all new replacements are more complicated and not at all user friendly.

🙂 Someone else may be able to give a recommendation more suitable. I hope you get sorted.

Hi there! I;m 75, and I have recently switched to an Ergonomic mouse which is far more comfortable to use than a regular one. It's an odd looking beast, but it supports the whole hand. I have arthritis.

Cheers, Midori
