An ergonomically configured handle apparatus for peripheral device includes a contact surface devised to selectively secure to a peripheral device. A thenar contact portion and a digital contact portion are ergonomically configured for comfortable wielding of the peripheral device attached at the contact surface. Each of a user's digits is accommodated recessed into each of a first and second obverse surface proximal the contact surface, whereby the distal phalanxes of a user's digits do not contact or impede attachment of the peripheral device to the apparatus. A tactile cursor control is provided having at least one directionally sensitive member and at least one button disposed upon the apparatus in position appropriate for control by the user's digits grasping the apparatus. Single-handed operation and wielding of the attached peripheral device is thereby enabled by one hand of the user.
