ABSTRACT:
An improved pointer device, such as a mouse, for a computer system having a video display that uses a moving graphical pointer. The pointer device has switches or dials that allow independent adjustment of mouse speed and acceleration. Separate adjustments can be made for X and Y axes of motion of the mouse. Since the adjustment functionality is built into the hardware of the mouse, the mouse user is able to easily configure mouse behavior without navigating various menus and panels in software drivers, providing functionality which may not otherwise be available on the user's system.
