Abstract

A dual function computer mouse including: a housing; a first sensor for measuring a relative movement of the housing with respect to a surface and outputting a corresponding first signal; a second sensor for measuring the motion of the housing and outputting a corresponding second signal; a processor for converting the first and second signals from the first and second sensors into a corresponding cursor movement; and a switch having a first position for operatively connecting one of the first or second sensors to the processor and a second position for operatively connecting the other of the first or second sensors to the processor. Also provided is a computer having the computer mouse of the present invention.
