Abstract: An input device including a scroll wheel assembly for moving an image in multiple directions on a display screen. The scroll wheel assembly may include a finger-engagable control member that may be endlessly rotated about a rotation axis and a tilt sensor containing a tilt contact member coplanar with the finger-engagable control member and oriented in a substantially vertical, downward orientation such that pivoting of the finger-engagable control member may move the tilt contact member laterally to contact laterally disposed contact switches. In another example, the finger-engagable control member contains a flexible blade at an underside for biasing the scroll wheel assembly to an upright position.

Abstract: Disclosed is an input device for scrolling an image relative to an image display screen along perpendicular axes. The device comprises of a housing, a scroll wheel assembly, and a return to center device. The housing includes an upper surface having at least one opening and a lower surface adapted for movement along a tracking surface. The scroll wheel assembly is provided within the housing, and includes a finger-engagable rotatable member that is positioned within the opening. The finger-engagable rotatable member is endlessly rotatable about a first axis extending within the housing and is pivotally movable about a second axis, the first axis being substantially perpendicular to the second axis. The return to center device is configured to return the finger-engagable rotatable member to a neutral position, and includes a flexible blade having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the blade is operatively connected to the finger-engagable rotatable member.
