Abstract:
An ambidextrous mouse is disclosed. The ambidextrous mouse is configured for both left and right handed use. The mouse may include right handed buttons on the front side of the mouse and left handed buttons on the back side of the mouse. The user may change the handedness of the mouse by rotating the mouse about a vertical axis of the mouse such that the left hand can use the left hand buttons and the right hand can use the right hand buttons. The mouse may include a handedness selection system for configuring the mouse for right handed or left handed use even though the mouse has the capability for both right and left hands.

Claim (Index 1):
A user input device, comprising:\n a touch sensitive surface divided into an array of buttonless sensing points, each buttonless sensing point being configured to generate a signal when the buttonless sensing point detects that an object is in proximity to the buttonless sensing point, the signal including information identifying a location of the buttonless sensing point, wherein signals from one or more buttonless sensing points of the array of buttonless sensing points can be combined to form a buttonless object signal that defines a two-dimensional image of an object in proximity to the touch sensitive surface; and a processor configured to:\n receive the buttonless object signal; \n determine from the buttonless object signal a selected zone amongst one or more zones of the touch sensitive surface, wherein each of the one or more zones is associated with a plurality of buttonless sensing points and is associated with a function; and \n generate a function signal based on a function associated with the selected zone.
