In a laptop computer having a display, a matrix of touch-sensitive keys, and a TrackPoint® device for generating cursor and function selection on display is embedded centrally among the keys. The TrackPoint® has a removable cap into which the joystick can be mechanically and electrically coupled. This permits stable platform joystick operation, especially where the computer executes programs involving a joystick as an element of a simulated control interface.
