Abstract: A computer pointing device having a rectangular operation plate and an integrated stationary base is disclosed. The operation plate is maneuverable with substantially equal ease along any pathway within a finite X-Y plane defined by the base. Movement of the operation plate involves an intermediate carriage that is uniaxially movable in unity with the operation plate along a first axis. The operation plate is uniaxially movable relative to the carriage along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis. Uniaxial movement is guided by ball bearings positioned between face-to-face counterpart support and guide channels respectively composed on the base and on the carriage, parallel to the first axis. Similar channels are composed between the operation plate and the carriage, parallel to the second axis.
