I went to Comp USA today. They have all the mice I listed above, except the Perfit. I asked someone who worked there about them. He said the Kensington was their best seller. That stuck me as odd - I guess I thought the Logitech Marble Mouse or Trackman Wheel would be more popular.
I looked at the Wacom Bamboo tablet - I think this would be too large. I still haven't ruled out a touchpad.
I think I realized something today. I get a bunch of pain if I outstretch my arm and then kink my hand up - which is almost the exact position my hand is in for the mouse (except it's not outstretched.) I believe that I'd do better with a mouse/trackball that isn't horizontal. Of those above, the Logitech Trackman Optical, Microsoft Natural, and the Logitech MX Revolution put the hand at about 45 degrees.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing now - using the left hand. It's very awkward. If I want to continue using only the left, I think I still may want to consider a different mouse.
