Abstract: Equipment item (43) for a computer (1) peripheral (5), characterized in that it comprises a set of at least four runners (21, 22, 23, 24) intended to be fastened below a base (10) of a peripheral (5), the peripheral (5) being intended to slide on a support (6), the base (10) being intended to face the support (6), in particular the peripheral (5) being a computer mouse, each runner (21, 22, 23, 24) of the equipment item (5) comprising a first ceramic surface (33) in the form of a portion of a sphere (31) and a fastening means (38) for fastening the runner (21, 22, 23, 24) below a base (10) of a peripheral (5).

Abstract: A method for configuring a mouse (1) for a computer (101), the mouse (1) comprising at least four degrees of freedom and being able to transmit one data signal (31) for each degree of freedom of the mouse (1), includes (i) defining a first data signal (31) able to be sent by the mouse (1), the first data signal (31) being chosen from a first list via a human-machine interface, the human-machine interface especially comprising a computer (101) and a screen (102), (ii) defining a first condition (32) relating to the first data signal (31), the first condition (32) being chosen from a second list via the human-machine interface, and (iii) defining a first instruction (33) able to be executed by a computer (101), the first instruction (33) being chosen from a third list via the human-machine interface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mouse having six axes for controlling a three-dimensional application. The mouse (1) with six movement axes (x, y) comprises a soleplate (2) and a housing (3) connected to each other by a connection element (6) allowing the housing to move in rotation relative to the soleplate about two axes (x, y). The housing (3) is provided with a sensor (16) situated in register with the thumb of a user's hand that is holding the housing (3), to cause switching of the mouse (1) from a two-dimensional mode of use to a three-dimensional mode of use of the mouse (1) on detecting pressure exerted by the thumb on the sensor (16). The invention is applicable to three-dimensional computer applications.
