Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To immediately notice the mis-depression of a key in a method for displaying the mouse pointer of a three-key mouse. SOLUTION: Respective detection parts 32-37 detect outer force that a third key receives. A mouse function decision part 38 decides a function allocated to a third key from the outer force detection result. A mouse pointer form determining part 40 determines the form of a mouse pointer, which corresponds to the function, based on the function decision result. The form of the mouse pointer in the middle of display is changed in response to outer force. Since the addition of outer force to the third key can be fed back through eyes, a user can immediately notice the mis-depression of the key.
