I have, and one of my fellow BOFH's had a good deal of fun with it as well.
He wrote a little program that would play a sound when the mouse was moved.

: catholic & female staff members as a 'clit-mouse'.

He also described it as being a clit-mouse. Aforementioned program was
installed on a laptop with clit mouse. Laptop was then handed to rather
uptight young lady. Program was set to trigger 2 hours after she left.

She never came back to ask us why the computer made all these "oohh! yes!
more!" sounds when she moved the mouse. Although her cow-orkers couldn't
stop laughing for -at least- a month.

I like the glidepads as well, or touchpads, whatever you call them. Some
Compaq laptops can even have the pad swapped for a trackball[1].

[1]     If you have a lot of dosh, a lot of time and are not afraid to
        wreck one or two laptops attempting the move itself.
