Sorry, no.  I haven't seen one directly, they were used with disabled
kids to make it easier to use a computer.  Computers with mice weren't
being used, yet, when I used to work in that arena.

Check out the Kensington Ezpert Trackball or the slightly smaller 
Kensington Optical Trackball. They are large. Logitech used to produce a 
large trackball unit: I think the ball is actually a billiard ball. Been 
out of production for probably 8 years. Mine is still going strong.

Might be worth looking at ergonomic mice.  There's various intriguing
looking mice on this page:



Yes, it's a dopey page that includes blank spaces in the URI.

And another with intriguing mice, such as foot operated ones.

You could always teach it to use the mouse...  ;-)  But a rat might be
more practical.  Yes, there is such a thing as a computer rat - it's a
larger computer mouse.



You would not happen to have the maker and some model names handy would you?
I have not found a 'mouse' that fit my paw very well since they stopped making 
the Logitech MouseMan, and even it *seems* a bit small. :)
