ABSTRACT:
An input device for generating signals indicating input requests by a user which has a base portion, a control portion, a plurality of input means, a universal connection means, and a signal generating means. The universal connection means may connect the control portion to the base portion. The control portion may be moved universally with respect to the base portion.
