What you need is a TRACKBALL. A good, old-fashioned Trackball.

I use one... the Kensington Expert Mouse 5.0 (don´t let words fool
you, it´s a TRACKBALL).
It uses a PS2 connection so no special drivers are needed. Find one on eBay...

Your wrist moves very little -if at all- and you can move the ball
with the tip of your fingers...
