Thanks. The big trackball looks like it might be difficult to try before
you buy as the links suggest they're across the Atlantic. Keyboards
don't solve the mouse problem, but I will suggest it.

The trackpad was the most promising, but getting hold of a

IME trackpads require _more_ precise motor control than mice etc.
There have been some fairly
large ones made, but the best looking candidates have been discontinued
(thanks Logitec).
Such things exist:

A graphics tablet would be large enough, so that might be
another possibility.
Usually these are high-precision devices which might not be helpful.
Re keyboards, we used these for my computers-for-the-elderly startup:

But an overlay with holes above the screens can be a big help for
those with severe motor deficits.
