Trackballs
The mother of all trackballs must be a sibling of the military design of the ORBIT X-Y Ball Tracker.
Fast forward to a mini Thumbelina aka Pro Mini Input Device in the early 1990s for an early innovative tiny trackball.
The early millennium gave us the finger mouse officially named the 4D Off-Table Hand Track with USB Interface.
