Ergonomic Mice for Macs?

My mom came to me with a tech question I've never had to answer before. She's looking for an alternative to the Magic Mouse 2, which I assume came with her fancy new Mac my dad got her for Christmas. I've never looked into ergonomic mice/mice alternatives before, and especially not anything for macs, so I thought I would ask if you guys have any recommendations. I don't even know where to start with this topic, so any products you can think of that could apply would be great, so I can research and narrow it down from there. I think mice alternatives like trackballs could be worth looking into, because if I remember correctly she's very limited on desk space so having something with non-lateral control like the Magic Mouse or a trackball could be useful.

Macs have USB, and the U in USB stands for Universal, so there is no reason to look for anything Mac specific ;)

Fair. The only reason I asked it that way is because I have no idea if stuff like the Magic Mouse with its gesture based use works universally. I don't even know if there's anything third party like it.

Nah, the Magic mouse and trackpad are pretty much unique in that regard. You'll have to just get a regular non-gesture mouse.
