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!"

Tried a Mac mouse?

That's nearly too easy to click, and with one of the plastic covers to return it to normal size, easy enough to handle as well.

windows assist and voice

microsoft put some disability assisy programs with windows. you might be able to use those as a free solution.

if you want something less "hands on" try something like Dragon Naturally Speaking.
