Abstract
A multi-directional roller assembly for an input device includes a housing and a carrier supported within the housing. The carrier has a roller that can be rotated so as to scroll an image vertically on a display. The carrier can also be tilted left and right so as to execute a command or scroll the image on the display in a horizontal direction.
