Abstract

See full text

A simplified, inexpensive roller for a mouse, trackball or other input device. The support for the roller is attached to the bottom of a button. In one embodiment, the roller is fixed with respect to the button so that when the roller is depressed, the button depresses to cause a switch activation. This is in contrast to prior art devices where the roller itself would depress into the housing. Here, the housing (button) depresses with the roller. This greatly simplifies the design.
