ABSTRACT:
Control in the positioning of a computer mouse is improved by adding a finely adjusted frictional force component to relative motion in the plane of the mouse-supporting surface, or mouse pad, system. The added frictional force component operates to produce a drag component that dampens the movement. The added frictional force component may be provided by additional small localized weight increments, the effect of a magnetic field, or a change in coefficient of friction between parts that move in relation to each other, as examples.
