Claim:
1. A pointing device for interacting with a touch-sensitive device comprising: a supporting member; a first contact point fixed on the supporting member and adapted to be in contact with a touch-sensitive layer and generate a first touch point on a screen underneath the touch-sensitive layer; a second contact point fixed on the supporting member and spaced laterally apart from the first contact point and adapted to be in contact with the touch-sensitive layer and generate a second touch point on the screen; a third contact point mounted on the supporting member and movable by a first actuating assembly from a default state where only the first and second contact points are in contact with the touch-sensitive layer to its fully depressed state where the third contact point is also in contact with the touch-sensitive layer adjacent to the second contact point; and a fourth contact point mounted on the supporting member and movable by a second actuating assembly from the default state where only the first and second contact points are in contact with the touch-sensitive layer to its fully depressed state where the fourth contact point is also in contact with the touch-sensitive layer adjacent to the second contact point.
