Default Flight Computer Input Devices

I'm about to upgrade my Discus 2 panel with a more modern flight computer (5.6" class 640x480 display) and in reviewing the various options I am interested in user opinions about input devices.



My panel is just out of easy reach, so I'll need some input device - either stick-mount or cord-mount. Pros, cons and comments about the various approaches (button, trackball, etc.) would be useful.

Mike,

I have over 800 hours with a track ball mouse input. It work extremely well even in turbulence. The menu button on the Utlimate Le SeeYou are large and just about impossible to miss with a track ball mouse. The thumb trackball on the stick trigger works the best. And best of all you already know how to use it.
