Abstract
A computer pointing device including a core electronic translator module and a housing, the core electronic translator module being axis-deflection-based and the housing including at least one input switch, at least one data transmission connection, a base, and a core electronic translator module axis extension, wherein the tracking movement of the device is effected by whole hand movement. The extension is designed to provide increased input sensitivity and low relief and includes a customizable and replaceable message space. The base includes thumb-activated selector switches to reduce the use of digital flexor muscles. The base also includes data transmission connections such that the device can be connected to a multiplicity of devices simultaneously.
