Abstract
An input unit having mouse functions is disclosed. The input unit is convenient for carrying and for storing in a notebook-sized personal computer. It has a reclosable finger support section, an open-close member having a switch and an open-close member having a switch on a plate-like main unit, and is operated as a mouse by sandwiching the finger support section between the forefinger and the middle finger. When it is not used, it is rendered plate-like by folding the finger support section, the open-close members so as to be stored in an IC card slot of the notebook-sized personal computer.
