Get one of these: 2-1/4" Trackball with USB and PS/2 Interface, from Suzo-Happ (
http://na.suzohapp.com/trackballs/565600xx.htm ) and a couple of pushbuttons (
http://na.suzohapp.com/pushbuttons/539200xx.htm ) and build a case for the parts. These
trackballs and pushbuttons are made for arcade game consoles and are super-rugged. I used
them in exhibits at the Field Museum in Chicago and used one at work for 10+ years without
any problems. The track balls are not cheap ($183), but are rock-solid.

used as sling-shot ammo. :) ?They do make great mice though. :)
