Just buy a wireless mouse +
keyboard combo like the ones from logitech and so many other choices.
If not then get a track-pad ( those red ball thingies ).
Why are you still using those out of date things? For the scroll
button ?
1980's Japan had the "Electric Pen" in it's art department
and even made game-peripheral for a system.
Even early 19X0's Russia had pre-photoshop ( used for erasing people
from images ). Truth be told the
electric-pen has been used for computers in the DOS and Amiga years as
well.
For most western people we had to use a stupid mouse with a stupid
pad, rolling in gum. Stupid.
Like Robocop I can "use my finger" to scroll on the pad with
movements via the buttons an fn-keys.
