Mouse and trackball hybrid?

[gombie]

looking for a trackball that is also a mouse, so you can move the trackball around and the cursor will move

You just invented it! Great idea! Concept it, prototype it, patent it, and get rich!

This won't work too well. For it to be usable without hand pain the track-ball needs to be near your fingers. If its near your fingers you won't be able to move the mouse part without hitting the trackball, moving the cursor around randomly. And vice-versa with the mouse part when you twirl the trackball. Need to keep your hand too steady.
