I've used it for many years, but not resting on my legs. I know it would

work, but can't tell you how comfortable it might be, especially for

extended use.
Mine's a Trackman Marble Plus, it took me a few days for my thumb to get

used to doing so much.
I've used other trackballs. The larger ones are much better for fine

control. But for really fine control, I prefer graphics tablets.
I have a friend who loves touchpads so much that he's even bought

keyboards with builtin touchpads. He gets good control by rolling his

fingertip on the pad, rather than dragging. I've tried touchpads and

don't particularly like them.
