This thread and poll assumes that a mouse is even available. This century I have tended to use notebooks/laptops which have a touchpad and funny little joystick thingie embedded in the keyboard. I also have a cool keyboard with a roller ball... it works great, unlike those stupid roller ball based mice (mouses?). I don't have a touch screen any more and it's been a long time since I've seen a lightpen, but I'll bet that there other options.
Actually, I have heard about a mouse-like thing that you just wave through the air. Via internal gyros, it figures out what you want to do. Has anyone used that thing yet?
