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!"

  1. Don't we have enough experimental mice already? by foniksonik · · Score: 0, Troll

    Early today I read about mice being grown for Nicotine Addiction studies... Now they're growing them for Handicap people?

    What do Handicap people need with experimental mouse varieties? Isn't the stem cell research enough for these people... first the parking spots, now their own breed of mouse.. jeeezzzz.. they aren't THAT special
