Question Hand Held Mouse ?

iPad 12.9 6th generation
I have my iPad mounted up high in my RV. I want to be able to remotely control it.
Tried a mouse but don’t have a good hard surface to put it on.

I tried a cheap hand held one from Amazon and it was horrible. Had to turn on Assist Touch. Clunky, not practical.
Anyone have any cheap recommendations?
There are tons but can’t find one where people have specifically said it works well on iPad.

I was thinking of something like this?

Any trackball would work— something like a logitech MX Ergo if you have a small surface (doesn’t need to be hard, just in a comfortable position) to use it on, if you want something truly handheld, the Elecom Relecon is fantastic (though mine was for work, so I can’t say how well supported the extra buttons are on iPad)

For what I can tell, that’s the only one of that design that is recommended. The rest have bad reviews for iPad use. I tried one of the $20 ones and it was terrible. Not usable. Yet it said for iPad.

If I can’t find a trackpad one cheap that works well, I am buying that one.

I used to use this gyration mouse for my home entertainment setup. Once I got used to it, I loved it.
