ABSTRACT:
A computer input device comprising: a housing, a tracking ball, at least a button and a through hole formed on the housing. The housing has a bottom surface, a top surface, a first side surface and a second side surface. The tracking ball is partially held within the housing while having part thereof exposed outside the housing through a bottom opening formed on the bottom surface. The hole is formed on a front portion of the top surface and has a size capable to accommodate a human's index finger such that the housing can be controlled and moved easily and readily by the finger accommodated in the hole. Since the housing can be moved and operated by using fingers merely without adapting to the size and shape of a human's palm, therefore the volume and size of the computer input device in accordance with the present invention can be reduced.
