Abstract

See full text

Input apparatus for a data processing system. An input apparatus, for example a mouse or a track ball, comprises a member which is rotatable by manipulation by a user. The rotation causes a change of a magnetic field, which change is detected by a detector. The member in the apparatus in accordance with the invention comprises a non-homogeneous distribution of a soft-magnetic material which, upon rotation, changes a magnetic field externally applied to the member by a magnet.
