The invention relates to a portable device for inputting control signals to a peripheral unit. The device includes a holding member designed to be attached to a hand of a user of the device, so as to retain the device in a predetermined manner on the hand. The device contains at least one input member, which covers a substantial portion of a surface (110') of the device that faces away from the user's hand when the device is attached to the hand. Thereby, notwithstanding any variations between different users in repsect of the size and shape of their hands, each user may still conveniently reach and manipulate the input member(s). In order to provide a plurality of functions via each input member, the member includes an actuating surface (182) of which multidimensional movements (A/B, C/D; E) may be registered in response to an external force produced by the user. The input member also includes at least one resilient member (269), which is arranged to return the actuating surface (182) to a neutral position after that this force has ceased to influence the surface (182). Thus, the proposed device provides a flexible solution which allows users to effortlessly generate and enter many different types of commands and instructions to the peripheral unit. |
