Abstract
A support is provided for mounting a mouse surface on a keyboard supporting tray for movement about a first vertical axis for moving the mouse surface between right and left hand use positions disposed adjacent right and left hand ends of a keyboard supported by the tray; for movement about a second axis disposed within a plane arranged parallel to said first axis; and for movement about a horizontal axis for forwardly and rearwardly tilting the mouse surface relative to the ends of the keyboard and selectively positioning upper and lower surfaces of the mouse surface vertically above and below the keyboard. The support is cantilever supported on the tray by a pivot connection for defining the first axis and includes a bearing surface selectively engageable with an upwardly facing, arculate surface portions of the tray for providing vertical support for the mouse surface remotely of the first axis.
