Abstract
~ A computer input device for a touch-screen computer comprises a ring.
The ring has a bottom portion, a cylindrical side portion and a top portion. The top portion of the ring extends semi-conically upwards forming a claw-shaped false nail having a pointed tip. The ring is capable of slidably mounting onto a human finger. A touch-screen computer system comprises a central processing unit, a touch screen operably connected to the central processing unit, a keyboard, and a false nail computer input device. The pointed tip of the false nail computer input device is capable of controlling the precise movement of a cursor or a pixel displayed on the touch screen of the touch-screen computer, and allows a human finger to engage in unobstructed typing on the keyboard. This invention relates to computer input devices, and the principal use of the invention is for inputting into a touch-screen computer.
