Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for controlling a marker or the like on a screen, operatively connected to the device and/or a function in a computer operatively connected to the device where the device comprises a pointer (10) with at least one key (30, 30b, 31, 31b) for a clicking function. At least one key (30) is manoeuvrble in more than one way whereby the same clicking function can be achieved by applying force to the key in different directions depending on the individual preferences of the user.
