Claim 16:
17. A method for increasing movement precision of a computer mouse for working surfaces having
a base with a bottom surface configured for sliding across the working surfaces, a hollow housing unit extending from the bottom surface,
the hollow housing unit comprising a tip, or a set of a plurality of tips, the tips being of varying size and shape,
the tips having a retrievable tip mechanism for providing a resistance point during mouse movement over the working surface for providing precision movements by sticking the tip out of the bottom surface of the computer mouse in varying heights, and a movement detection sensor for measuring the computer mouse movement over the working surface, wherein the tip and its height have no effect on the position and navigation of the pointer on a computer screen,
the method comprising:
providing hand pressure on the computer mouse;
measuring movement of the computer mouse over the working surface using the movement detection sensor; and
penetrating the tip to touch the working surface and creating resistance at specific penetration while using the hand pressure on the computer mouse if precise movement of the computer mouse over the working surface is required,
else providing regular mouse movement of the computer mouse by causing the tip not to touch the working surface, wherein during the precise movement of the computer mouse over the working surface, causing the tip to stick out of the bottom surface of the computer mouse at specific height for providing a resistance point and increasing or decreasing resistance for precise movement and/or creating braking effect of the computer mouse over the working surface.
