ABSTRACT:
A hand-held ergonomically configured apparatus for manipulating an electronic control signal in a computer, where a mounting element supports an upright support element operably secured to the mounting element and a wrist support for supporting a wrist is positioned on the mounting element. The wrist support is configured to conform to a human wrist for support and comfort. An elongated element adapted for grasping by hand includes a top horizontal surface, a bottom surface, a front wall, a rear wall, an outwardly curved rear surface, and a front surface having a curved grip adapted to be held by a human hand. The elongated element has an aperture on the bottom surface adapted for securing the upright support element therein and a pair of input control buttons are positioned on the front wall and mounted in relation to the curved grip of the front surface so as to allow operation of the pair of input control buttons by an index finger tip and a middle finger tip. A joystick is mounted on the top horizontal surface of the elongated element for controlling a moveable graphic element on a display screen of a computer corresponding to movement or orientation of the joystick in an x-dimension, a y-dimension, and a z-dimension.
