The sensor is unobtrusively positioned on the input device, such as a mouse or a trackball or a keyboard point device. Upon detection or lack of detection of the thumb or finger, the control circuit automatically configures the buttons on the device to activate primary or secondary software functions either for a left-handed person or a right-handed person.
