ABSTRACT:
A pointing device provides a rotating member for rotatably adjusting a location of a cursor, a volume level, display settings, or other variables. The pointing device includes a control arm which a user can manipulate to make a button selection. The pointing device combines the button selection and rotational adjustment into a single apparatus. The device is sized to be comfortably used by one hand, and can be mounted within a mouse, a keyboard, or a monitor. The pointing device can be used alone, or can be used to augment a mouse, a trackball, or a touchpad.
