I have found that, for me, the perfect solution is an optical trackball. (I use a Logitech TrackMan Wheel.) No cleaning, no mouse pad and no more space required than the size of the trackball plus the overlap of your hand. My TrackMan also works well with Xorg with minimal configuration. (Like clicking the wheel for "floaty scrolling".) Also works best for me when my carpal tunnel syndrome is playing me up. Tried a tablet once, could NOT get on with it.
