Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grip cap having appropriate sensory feedback and to prevent it from becoming slippery even after the grip cap is used for a long period by providing an elastic hollow grip can which is detachably attached to the front end of the controller of a computer with plural fibers extending outward. SOLUTION: This hollow grip cap 14 is detachably attached to the front end of the control stick of a computer. The cap 14 is formed in a hanging bell-like shape of an elastic material having an internal surface 16 and external surface 18 and a plural fibers 20 are adhered onto the external surface 18 through an adhesive layer 21. In addition, a protective coating layer 22 is provided on the fibers 20 extending outward from the surface 18. Therefore, such a hollow grip cap 14 that does not become slippery even after the cap 14 has appropriate sensory feedback and is used for a long period can be attached to the control stick.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate a drag operation by providing an integrated pointing device and at least one click button. SOLUTION: When this device is slid backward with a button 62 pressed down by a user's thumb, a 1st horizontal rib 80 which exists under a flange 82 of a frame 20 is moved, and keeping a whole click button member 38 pressed down locks the device in its on state. At this time, a 2nd horizontal rib 86 which extends forward from the button 62 is simultaneously slid backward from a bottom face of a wrist support part 20a, thereby, appearing a top face 88 to which is added the bright color of the rib 86. The user can recognize the lock on state by the downward slant of the member 38 and the appearance of a brightly colored top face 88. While the member 38 is locked in its drag position, the user can drag an icon, etc., on a display with a joy stick, etc.
