A touch pad device, for use in a portable computer, includes a touch pad housing that is recessed into and integrally formed on a top surface of a key deck. A pad assembly is securely seated into the touch pad housing and includes a touch pad. A pad cover is fastened to the touch pad housing, with the pad assembly installed therebetween, by hooks. Since the touch pad housing is integrally formed on the key deck, the number of component parts of the touch pad device is minimized and the man-hours for assembly is reduced. Further, since the pad cover can be installed and separated from above the key deck, maintenance of the pad assembly is simplified. |
