i've always found mice inefficient.

my plan is to build a sprung foot-rest with two-dimensional tilt sensors
to replace my mouse.  i think it would need to be more like a joystick
than a mouse, probably with acceleration proportional to the tilt (and
pressure).

i haven't figured out the buttons yet: thumb-operated keys below the
space bar seems like the best option for me.
