  • the design of the proposed device allows the wrist of arm 3 and arm 3 as a whole when entering information to be in a position as close as possible to its natural relaxed position, which results in the removal of excessive stress on the user's arm 3 when entering information, which eliminates distortion of the entered information.
  • the design of the proposed device allows the fingers 2, 5 of the hand 3 to be in the most relaxed, non-fixed position relative to the hand 3 due to the fact that it allows you to enter information on the cursor control on the monitor screen not only with the movement of the index or middle finger 5, but also with simultaneous oncoming movement of the index or middle finger 5 and thumb 2 of the hand 3 of the user.
  • the design of the proposed device has a low weight and a small area of contact with the surface of the wrist 3 of the user, which creates the conditions for convenient long-term work with the device.
  • the present invention can be used in manipulator devices designed to interact with the interface of computers to enter commands into a multimedia device (computer) by manually controlling technical objects and technological processes using processor technology containing a tactile switching element such as a touchpad.
