You've gotten some great advice here. I'll simply chime in with two points:
I bought a Kaotica Eyeball. Didn't do much for me and I was able to sell it.

I also use the dog clicker method. I'm using Twisted Wave, which doesn't do Punch and Roll, but I don't think I'd want to anyway. Since I'm doing audiobooks, I'm afraid stopping for Punch and Roll wo ... |
