I use a thumb-trackball (and have since the 90s). They work on glass. Hell, they work on my lap or beside me if I'm in bed. And no space needed to move around.

Every week or two I pop the ball out and give it a quick wipe with a lenscloth.

I love my thumb-trackball. Doesn't matter where I use it, it will always work.

I used these religiously until the carpal tunnel from phone scrolling set in
