Abstract: A composite mouse assembly for a computer includes a mouse case. A computer interface encoder is contained in the mouse case. A positional sensor is connected to the interface encoder for controlling a screen indicator used for selecting menu items appearing on a display screen of the computer. A wireless remote control device is connected to the positional sensor and includes a plurality of user-activated direction control keys for transmitting digital serial encoded signals. A receiver unit is contained in the mouse case for receiving and amplifying the digital signals transmitted by the remote control device. A decoder is provided for interpreting the digital signals transferred by the receiver unit into one of a plurality digital direction control signals corresponding to the direction control keys of the remote control device.
