Easy to Use Mice for Handicapped Persons?

Gavin Miller asks: "I've got a good friend with a disease that limits the use of his limbs, mainly his fingers. He says he can move a normal mouse but is no longer able to click. Does anyone know of input peripheral options that might be easier for him to use? I don't know exactly how much movement he does have in his fingers, or what he can or cannot do. I'm simply looking for some options that he can look into. Thanks!"

apple mouse?

The apple mouse does not have any buttons and can easily be clicked with handscale motions.

The wireless mouse has a single button that makes it easy and comfortable to use, regardless of the size of your hand. Whether you have a light touch or a heavy hand, the thoughtful click-force adjustment feature makes it more customizable. And the optical engine provides accurate and responsive cursor movement unhampered by performance-inhibiting dirt and dust buildup.

Touchpad

He might be better off with a laptop style touchpad. Especially if you can find one thats pressure sensitive (heavy pressure=click).
