Mouse wrap 2
Mouse Wrap is a small utility to enhance the mobility of the Windows mouse pointer. It does this by wrapping the pointer around the screen. If the pointer is moved to any edge of the screen, the pointer will appear at the opposite side of the screen; It may take time to get used to the way in which you can now use your mouse, but once you realise how much quicker it is to get to things at the other side of the screen, you'll wonder how you managed without it.

Noisy mouse
Noisy Mouse http://www.leeos.com/noisy_mouse.html is a simple program that adds separate sounds to right, left, and middle mouse button actions. It adds the three selections to the Windows Sounds properties, allowing you to use the native Control Panel applet to assign any of the three files included, or any .wav file your prefer. Noisy Mouse optionally resides in your system tray to provide access to editing the sounds or terminating the program anytime you don't want to hear the sounds. If you enjoy having your computer narrate your mouse moves, this freeware program is for you. An even more practical use would be to associate specific files with each click, so participants in learning sessions would be able to differentiate the left- and right-mouse clicks with auditory cues.
