IMO Logitech NuLOOQ navigator.... it was here well before MS released their puck and worked really well in Photoshop etc until Logitech annoyingly dropped support, their 'replacement' which was a 3Dconnexion device just isn't the same.

Palm Pre. I had the original one and it was really good for me but there were backend issues which I think made it hard to develop for. The thing had wireless charging as well (optional but that's fine). The final version being unsupported literally a week or so after launch was a disgrace which just put me off HP even more.
