ABSTRACT:
A computing interface system includes a mouse with a keypad, and a computer display that displays a group of icons that have a one-to-one correspondence to the keys composing the mouse's keypad. The icons have the same relative positioning as the keys composing the mouse's keypad. This arrangement permits the user to enter digits into the computer without repeatedly shifting his or her gaze back and forth between the keypad and display.
