ABSTRACT:
A mouse platform that mounts over the normally unused portion of a keyboard where the mouse is easily accessible by the right hand of the user. Further, the platform is easily removable to allow use of the normally unused portion of keyboard for the few programs that require such use. In one embodiment, the platform rests on the same surface as the keyboard but extends over the normally unused portion of the keyboard. In a second embodiment, a first part of the platform is affixed to the keyboard, a second part of the platform can be easily attached and removed from the first part. The second part is the surface on which the mouse rests. Advantageously, in the second embodiment, the first part may be Velcro strips which are glued onto the keyboard with the second part having matching Velcro strips. In a third embodiment, the second part is adjustable to compensate for the keyboard being tilted.
