   There have been plenty of alternative mouse-like devices that have been invented since the 1980s. There have been mice that do not involve finger movement at all, but detects the 3-D movement of the arm. They have invariably failed to catch on, due to lack of marketing or practicality.

   Not a lot of info to work with there, but it appears to me that you'd have to put it back down to type with your "mouse hand" again. Makes it pretty much worthless in my book. I don't know about the rest of the world, but my right hand goes back and forth from the mouse to the keyboard all day long. And if I had to pick up and put down the mouse every time I used it, I'd find a new mouse.
   
   That's my $.02
