ABSTRACT:
A mounting structure including a clip portion embraces the nose of a computer keyboard housing with tabs that snap into the space between housing and keys for securing a toggle assembly over the cursor keys in an inverted "T" array cursor pad. A toggle assembly with radiating arms is held over the "DOWN" key with fingers resting on or in close proximity to all four cursor keys and joined through an elastomeric toroid to the mounting structure for resilient articulable motion in response to manual manipulation of a toggle lever to thereby provide joystick operation of the cursor via the cursor keys.
