Abstract
A computer mouse includes a housing, one or more processors disposed in the housing, and a trackball and a scroll bar configured on a top side of the housing and controlled by the one or more processors. The scroll bar has a width that is at least twice a diameter of the scroll bar. The housing has a triangular shape defined by three corners and three sides, each of the three sides coupled to a corresponding two of the three corners. A center of the trackball is configured at a location between a center point of the top side of the housing and a first corner of the three corners. The scroll bar can be configured between the center point of the top side of the housing and a first side of the three sides, the first side being opposite the first corner of the three corners.
