Ball mouse.  No pad needed.  No movement needed. BT link, no cable.
$25 lasts forever (virtually), and that includes a single 1.5 V cell.

  I have several.  The wired ball mouse from LT was so popular with 
the gamers that a used one sold on ebay for double what they were 
new.  That was before the wireless link boys got the stutter and 
timeout kinks ironed out.  Now wireless is just as responsive.
Greta mouse because it requires no "movement field".  You move from 
the keyboard to the mouse and translate the screen curcsor and then 
your hand moves right back to the keyboard no pad rewuired, and easy 
to carry with you.  They even have little mini versions but those 
suck if you are doing CAD or video or art level work that requires 
fine pitch mouse movement capability.

  I have yet to find a Linux Live distro or BSD install that does not 
recognize it immediately.  Even after a session is up.
