[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Want mouse/trackball reccomendation

I'm looking for a pointing device and I am considering a trackball 
or a mouse-compatible joystick (is there such?) an alternative to a 
mouse.  My main problem is lack of desk space for a mouse runway.
                                                       
Has anyone had any experience, favorable or otherwise, with any of 
the alternatives?

How and why did you choose what you now use?
Is it awkward to make large motions?
  To point precisely? 
  To drag an object or resize a window? 

Thanks in advance for your comments.
