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 19):
A method of operating a user input device having a touch sensitive surface divided into an array of buttonless sensing points, the method comprising:\n detecting that an object is in proximity to a first buttonless sensing point of the array of buttonless sensing points; generating a signal in response to the detecting, the signal including information identifying a location associated with the first buttonless sensing point; combining signals from one or more buttonless sensing points of the array of buttonless sensing points to form a buttonless object signal that defines a two-dimensional image of an object in proximity to the touch sensitive surface at a surface location, the two-dimensional image indicating a second buttonless sensing point associated with the surface location; determining from the buttonless object signal a zone, of a plurality of zones, associated with the second buttonless sensing point; and generating a function signal based on a function associated with the determined zone.
