Abstract
A foot operated mouse for use on a surface comprises a housing including a heel portion, a toe portion, a pivot member, and a sensor mechanism. The pivot member is configured and arranged to contact the surface and allow the housing to pivot between an operating position and a nonoperating position. The operating position is when the sensor mechanism is proximate the surface, and the nonoperating position is when the sensor mechanism is pivoted upward away from the surface.
