Easy to Use Mice for Handicapped Persons?

Posted by Cliff on from the alternatives-to-clicking dept.

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!"

    Or he could buy a Mac... Tiger's going to have voice support built in (to a greater extent than Panther does), and he gets the benefit (never thought I'd be saying this) of an Apple mouse.
