An ergonomic support is disclosed for use with a computer input device such as a mouse. Some embodiments allow the same support to be used with a wide range of mouse sizes. Some embodiments allow a user to make a customized fit between the user's hand, the support and the input device. Many embodiments include a deformable member which continues to apply force to the input device after being deformed by a user, thereby coupling the support to the input device without the need for external fasteners. In other embodiments, an attachment member couples the input device to a recessed area of the support.

Ergonomic support for use with a computer input device

The present invention pertains to a computer pointing device having an annular rotating ring that is rotatable by a user to control the movement of a cursor on a computer screen. The annular rotating ring is preferably implemented around a trackball to facilitate the ease of use by the user. The annular rotating ring is made up of three constituent rings, namely, a finger ring, a bearing ring, and a shutter ring. The three constituent rings are constructed in such a way that they are interlocked to eliminate any unnecessary movement or slop during use.
