Programmable lift response for an optical navigation device

摘要

An optical pointing device comprising an optical navigation sensor and an adjustment module for adjusting an operational height of the optical navigation sensor is provided in one embodiment. In another embodiment, an optical pointing device comprising a housing and an optical navigation sensor contained in the housing is provided where the optical navigation sensor is configured to provide movement information to a processing system to cause a pointer to continue moving in response to detecting that the housing has been lifted from a navigation surface.
