USB.  It is programmable and also is capable of being programmed with keyboard shortcuts, that can then be used to activate macros, so it offers a lot more flexibility (if a little more trouble than other to maintain).

Ed,

 

I am not familiar with this device - pretty cool - how does it connect to the computer?  Is it USB?

I would rec that you start trialing dwell software, a very functional program can be downloaded for free here.  http://www.polital.com/pnc/

 

If you really just want to switch activate the mouse click I often recommend against a USB switch activated mouse as they are always tending to move on me. I prefer a direct switch interface such as the hitch from Ablenet http://www.ablenetinc.com/Assistive-Technology/Computer-Access/Hitch . I really like the stealth switch as it gives me the option to activate macros. http://www.stealthswitchat.com/
