ABSTRACT:
A pointing device support system is disclosed. The pointing device support system includes an infinitely adjustable pointing device support member having a clamp at one end for connecting the pointing device support system to a surface. A fingertip actuated pointing device, such as a trackball, is mounted to the other end of the support member. The support member is typically comprised of a snake-like tubing that can be conformed to and retain any number of positions to provide infinite adjustability. A pointing device support adapter is also provided adjacent the clamp. The support adapter is substantially parallel with the clamping surface and extends a length sufficient enough to provide the cable of the fingertip actuated pointing device with a section of protection.
