ABSTRACT:
A computer input device has two modules, each module located at the natural resting position of one of the computer user's corresponding hands on a work surface. The first module has a pointing device, while the second module has a plurality of touch sensitive devices such as buttons or skin capacitance detectors. The second module is substantially flat and sends to the computer commands which translate to those of left and right clicks and/or scrolls. The first module has a pointing stick allowing easy hand access and further allowing the stick to be held in a pencil grip or with the thumb and opposing finger or fingers for pointing. The command translation and other variables may be programmed to suit the user's accessibility needs.
