ABSTRACT:
An accessory (40) for a computer mouse (18) includes a multistrand accessory conductor (42) for transmitting location signals and acceptance signals having a first coupling (44) for coupling a first end of the conductor (42) to the coupling (26) of a computer mouse assembly (19) and a second coupling (46) for coupling a second end of the conductor (42) to a coupling (22) of a computer (10). The accessory further includes a remote acceptance switch (54) coupled to the strands of the multistrand accessory conductor including a hand-operated button (56) for producing an acceptance signal similar to the acceptance signal produced by an acceptance switch (38) of the computer mouse (18). Thus, a cursor location generated by movement of the computer mouse can be accepted in a memory of the computer either by activation of the mouse acceptance switch or the remote acceptance switch.
