I solved it by using a Logitech trackball with my right hand - but only to move the cursor and I used a MS optical mouse with the tracking window taped over so that I would only use it to click or scroll with the left hand. I had to tape over the window so that moving the mouse wouldn't actually move the pointer which I had carefully positioned with the trackball. Cured the RSI and now able to even use a normal trackpad on a notebook for short periods of time. But I do prefer to use my desktop for serious amounts of work.
Good to know! I have a Twiddler one-handed keyboard with a poor pointer control stick, but at least it has 3 buttons. I should try using it with a mouse like this. I've also enjoyed playing Minecraft with the mouse buttons remapped to keys. It's basically the same thing: movement right-handed, buttons left-handed.
My major problem with mouse or keyboard is arm support. I'm "tall sitting down", so I need armrests and a desk much higher than average. I remember a normal mouse being fine so long as the desk was high enough.
