Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain an effective cursor moving even in a narrow place by providing a side surface track ball in addition to a bottom surface track ball, and synthesizing a distance and a direction on plain and side surfaces through the both balls. CONSTITUTION:When a mouse input device 1 is moved, a bottom surface track ball 2 is revolved by bottom surface friction and the moving distance and moving direction on the bottom surface are detected by a first moving detecting part 3 and a first electric signal generating part 4. Then, an electric signal is outputted to show these distance and direction. Besides this ball 2, a side surface track ball 5 is also provided and the electric signal to correspond to the side surface moving distance and moving direction is outputted as well. Then, the both electric signals are synthesized by an electric signal synthesizing part 8 and the cursor moving is controlled. Thus, even in the narrow place, the desired cursor moving can be executed with use of the mouse input device.
