Only if you're talking about the physical grasp mouse, which is
probably the most common household mouse, or the touchpad, probably
the next most common. With a stick mouse (IBM calls it a TrackPoint),
you can carry on to infinity; same with a roller ball. But yes, a lot
of mouse designs aren't built for infinity.
