A computer mouse is provided which includes a housing; a lateral vertical wheel attached to the housing and configured to rotate with respect to the housing and in a first plane to control lateral vertical planar rotation of a visual object on a computer screen; a horizontal turn wheel attached to the housing and configured to rotate with respect to the housing and in a second plane which is perpendicular to the first plane to control horizontal planar rotation of the visual object on the computer screen; and a straight vertical turn wheel attached to the housing and configured to rotate with respect to the housing and in a third plane which is perpendicular to the first plane and the second plane to control rotation of the visual object on the computer screen in a direction which appears on the computer screen to be substantially perpendicular to vertical and horizontal directions. The mouse also includes a translational motion control button and resizing motion control button for motion and resizing of the visual object in horizontal, vertical and their perpendicular directions.
