Does anyone have a suggestion of a mouse that works for both hands but is not actually a mouse? Like a ball, a joystick, or something.

I've been happy with Logitech Trackman Marble

For whatever reason, I find a thumb trackball very intuitive, and a forefinger trackball very clumsy.

When I used trackballs, I liked big ones (3-4 inches in diameter) which were used by the palm, not a thumb or an index finger.

Trackball is an excellent keyword to search for on Google, Logitech makes several.

Though I have not used one extensively enough to have an input on how ergonomic it is, I have found that they are excellent for surfaces which regular mice have trouble tracking on.
