Pointer device preferences

[tinypoodle]

Note:

"preferred" does not refer to "most used" nor to "mostly available to me", but to "in ideal case desirable..."

If you either choose "Other" or think of any other option which should be added, please specify in a post and I might consider adding an option of choice.

In the rare case your preference would differ between systems, choose what you prefer with Core GUI specifically and state so in a post in thread please.

"Magnetic needle" does not qualify as valid answer   

For a start only one choice is allowed, but I am kind of ambivalent about that and feedback is welcome.

I think that a light-pen would be pretty cool to use... I always thought that they always looked nice on those Fairlight CMI's.
Too bad they don't work with LCD monitors.

Well, while searching the web for input devices to create the poll, I came across light pen, but not sure if there would even be a way to make that work under Linux.
