ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for attaching a pointing device, such as a mouse, a trackball, a joystick, or the like to an edge of a keyboard or any protruding edge. The apparatus includes a body, a clamping edge adjustably attached to the body, and a movable slide movably attached to the body. The movable slide has a slide face facing the clamping edge such that a gap is formed between the slide face and the clamping edge. One or more springs bias the movable slide against the clamping edge to grip the protruding edge to which the pointing device is attached. The clamping edge can be attached to the body at different positions to accommodate protruding edges of different thickness.
