I used to use these large trackballs not too long ago. However, rather than looking for one that would fit my hand size, I came up with a way to combine a small one with a wrist rest.

KIOXIA TransMemory U301
I like this not only for its looks, but also for its simplicity in function. I have two of these, one is for data backup and is always connected to my PC. The other is a bootable drive.

I have some Toshiba pen drives that look identical to that KIOXIA one. 
Who copied who?

@zabadabadoo Toshiba was forced to sell its semiconductor memory business after heavy losses in its nuclear power-related business. The company established as a result is Kioxia.

I had an old laptop at home that I was having trouble getting rid of, so I installed Zorin OS to try it out. To my surprise, Core worked without any problem. This machine is a 2010 model, but the specs were high for that time, so I guess it worked.

I don't like to install a graphics card in Mini-ITX because of the noticeable performance disadvantage in terms of volume ratio compared to iGPUs. ASRock's DeskMeet is more than four times volume of DeskMini, which is not attractive to me.
Small cabinet have a poor cooling fan temperature is high.
My phone case broke, but it is difficult to get cases for older models, so I decided to take the plunge and not use a case. If the device broke because of that, I didn't mind replacing it. I prefer a display of about 6 inches, and since my hands are not large, I find it much easier to use without a case.

You risk your phone breaking instead of the case breaking. I think a case is cheaper to replace. I use a simple low cost gel case which has saved my phone a couple of times on the bounce.

In the first place, it is strange for a phone to break just by being dropped. If the bezel is made thinner, strength is naturally sacrificed. Although it is also wrong for consumers to care only about the appearance of the product.

I think we all recall in the not so distant past when they didn't.
I had a Sanyo RL-3940 for years. I bought replacement batteries on Craigslist, even, to keep that phone going far beyond its lifetime.
Eventually, I was forced to "upgrade" to the flimsy "smart" (cough) phones. I do protect them in a thick and sturdy case, though.
I have broken a screen one time. That is it. Other than that, I have never broken a phone. I handle them like they are infant baby eggs.
CORRECTION: It has been a long time. It was Sanyo RL-4930.
Oops.

Sanyo is officially a relief merger by Panasonic, but in reality, many of its businesses were sold off and extinguished. Although this is better than only the brand being sold and used by another company.

Integrated webcam and face authentication device. It supports Windows Hello, but it also works with Howdy, and it is convenient to not have to enter the password every time I
sudo.
So did I mine were Logitech's .... in fact I still have two of them in a storage box in the spare bedroom .... in their time they were extremely popular as gaming mice until the new mice with the infrared sensor came out .... I resisted for 5-6 months before breaking down and buy one and never looked back ....
My new Corsair has what is called a Optical Gaming Sensor without the red light .... and of course with the DPI Cycle switch it is quite fast .... on highest setting it is faster than I can follow ....
