Claim 10:
11. A computer peripheral device comprising:
a microcontroller;
an actuator coupled to the microcontroller; and
at least one command signal group selector coupled to the microcontroller for receiving a user selection of one of a plurality of configurations;
wherein, in response to a user activation of the actuator, the microcontroller is configured to:
send a first command signal in response to being in a first one of the plurality of configurations; and
send a second command signal in response to being in a second one of the plurality of configurations;

wherein the first command signal toggles on and off at least a mute control of a videoconferencing application running on a computing device communicatively coupled to the peripheral device for toggling a microphone coupled to the computing device on and off and the second command signal toggles at least a video control of the video conferencing application for toggling a camera coupled to the computing device on and off.
