If they have an iPhone, there's a free app called RemotePad. It allows you to use the phone as a mouse and if you like a keyboard too to input to the pc:

You need a wireless network for this to work and I don't know how detrimental this is to battery life.

Subject: Re: Glide Pad
If your client can use a joystick and has the Dynamic control system on the chair have you considered the DX PCMouse?
This will provide mouse control through the powered chair joystick.
Not quite the same as a Glide Pad. There area as always advantages and disadvantages [e.g. mouse click activation]

Does anyone know of a wireless trackpad (like smartcat laptop style ones)? I have a client with MS who uses a wired one really well but wants to be able to drive up to his PC to access it. Or any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
