Oh, OK.
I use Kensington Expert Wireless Trackball Mouse (K72359WW)
http://tinyurl.com/ycsu6gwv
for example.
It is big and heavy enough that the cats don't knock it to the floor. Also, comes in
wired. But in my home the less cords the better. :-)
I have used the wired version of this track ball for over a decade. I
have 4 of them, including at work. My daughter has one at university.

I have worn out the micro-switches over the years and replaced them.
Only critical issue I have had is with losing the little jewels that are
the bearings within the mouse. These are replaceable but not from
Kensington. I found a place online that sells little sapphire balls as
replacements. The pad is replaceable from Kensington.
My son has broken one during some high intensity gaming, it was repaired
with some superglue. He hit it hard enough to break some of the plastic.
You have to clean the lint and other crud from the ruby jewels every
once in a while but that is not hard to do. Be careful so you do not
lose any of the jewels.
I have not used the wireless as I don't like batteries or running out of
charge at the wrong time.
I have never had an issue with Linux and this trackball.
Nice big ball. 5cm diameter. No strain on the thumb when trying to do
some work. Can use the palm of your hand to control the pointer.
Finger or thumb to use the scroll wheel. You can program the buttons
but I find the defaults are what I have grown used too.
I have used my trackball with severe tendinitis and no issues. My son
has used his with a broken finger for gaming. With proper adjustment of
chair, table/keyboard tray, there is no need to move your shoulder while
using it.
