Or a SpacePilot with a button so you can play Space invaders on the little LCD screen. Now that would be productive.

At work I use a Razor Copperhead gaming mouse, and occasionally a Space navigator. At home it's usually a Logitech thumb roller ball, or another razor mouse. And now the space navigator is at home to use with google earth. I've also used a graphics tablet, but I'm so used to control with the mouse that the graphics tablet isn't too productive for me with cad. It works better just with GIMP and Inkscape.

My work only provides a standard MS mouse, so I buy my own. The work mouse gets confused between the two monitors and unexpectedly jumps into the corners. I've never had a problem with the Razor mice doing that, but sometimes the programmable buttons stop working.

Oh, and of course, large mello yellow and breakfast burritos (a #10) to start the day.

Solidjnke, a bluetooth controller would be nice. Might as well make it with sixaxis motion control while they are at it.
