Abstract
A device for providing user input to a computer includes a base member with a tracking sensor for detecting motion of the base member and a vertical grip member that extends upward from the base member. A scroll wheel is rotatably mounted in the grip member and oriented so as to be rotatable by a substantially arc-like movement of a thumb of a hand holding the grip member.
