      Yeah, but then you gotta buy food, and litter, and vet visits, and toys, and scratch pads.

      I tell ya. I miss when games weren’t full of hidden microtransactions…

    trackball

    (as long as you don’t mind hard-boiling an egg or pitting an avocado every time the ball wears out)

      I’ve been using one trackball or another, usually a Kensington Orbit since they became available, for the majority of three decades; the only times I’ve had to buy a new one were when I needed more for extra computers or when new technology became available (such as when optical became a thing). I’ve never had a trackball ball wear out or even show signs of wear.

      Actually, that’s not 100% true. I did have one Orbit just stop consistently responding to input. The ball was fine, though; in fact, I’m pretty sure I still have the mouse and could just put the ball in a new unit.

        I do believe the comment about the ball wearing out was what humans refer to as “humor”

      If the cat is on your wrist and not really on your fingers those will work, but if the cat’s on your fingers then you’re just as SOL. Even then you still need a bit of palm movement.

    World of Warcraft can be played exclusively with the keyboard and exclusively the mouse!

    Controller compatible games are also good for solving this problem. From Software makes all kinds of bangers in that department.

      Why do I have to immediately think of the “dancing mat Dark Souls” someone did? You for sure don’t need your hands to play when you can just use your feet.

    There’s a number that can be played with just a mouse. Though looks like that’s not an option.

    Gothic 1 was designed without mouse controls in mind. A fact that made it clumsy to control even back when it was new. But for this it’s great. You can play it comfortably with one hand on the keys.
