Abstract
A pointing device with a planar element for supporting it on a horizontal surface. On top of the planar element is a housing having a palm and finger-supporting surface extending from a thumb-side to a small-finger side, and from back to front across the planar element. A soft-grip is coupled to the palm and finger-supporting surface and is made of material which is more resilient than the rest of the housing, and is also less porous than foam so as to be resistant to soiling.
