Just about anything Logitech makes?
IBM makes a nifty variation on the "scroll" mouse -- they have one with a
TrackPoint (the eraser-nub pointing device you see on many laptops) built
in between the buttons, for added control.
Personally, I've become very attached to my ThinkPad's TrackPoint, as well
as the full-size TrackPoint keyboard on my machine at work.
Your friend and mine,
