Use of the miniature electronic device is facilitated by the present invention's anchoring the miniature electronic device and ergonomically supporting the operator's hand such relative to the miniature electronic device. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the support device includes a base member having a receiving member adapted to securably receive a miniature electronic device formed in an upper surface of the base member. The base member is preferably formed of an elastomeric material. The upper surface of the base member is dimensioned to support the hand of an operator of the miniature electronic device, such that the level of the operator's hand is substantially coplanar with the level of the top surface of the miniature electronic device. The receiving member can be positioned to accommodate right or left-handed operators. The receiving member can be formed either completely through the base member, as a depression that does not extend through the base member, and can be an insert member joined with the base member. The base member can be adapted for attachment to a fixed or to a mobile supporting surface.
