Abstract
The invention relates to an input device for controlling a virtual pointer, in particular a cursor on a computer display. Said input device comprises a touch-sensitive input surface (1) which activates a positioning signal for controlling the virtual pointer which is dependent on the position on the input surface (1), said position being touched by the user. The input surface (1) is surrounded by a higher control edge (4), whereby an edge signal is generated by means of at least one coupled sensor (6) when touched by the user, said edge signal taking over the control of the virtual display.
