  • Patent number: 6650254
    Abstract: A configurable computer input device. At least one switch is removably attachable to a surface and is in communication with a processor. At least one function is assignable to activation of the switch. The at least one switch may be repositioned distances smaller than a length or width of the at least one switch. Circuitry is in communication with the at least one switch for assigning at least one function to activation of the switch. Circuitry communicates the at least one function to a host computer. Circuitry determines the actuation status of the at least one switch and communicates the actuation status to the host computer.
