I know many people prefer a trackball to a mouse. I haven't used a trackball myself, but I did change from mouse to a Wacom Intuos 3 graphics tablet a couple of years ago, and can't praise it highly enough. I was finding that only a few minutes of mousing would cause pain in my lower arm, and I also found a mouse to be an incredibly clumsy tool for illustration software. The graphics tablet allows me to use a stylus that fits very comfortably in the hand, as relaxed as holding a pencil, and the degree of control is exceptional. If you're looking into alternative pointing devices, I'd recommend checking out a graphics tablet.
