A peripheral device for computers or similar electronic devices includes a combination of a cursor controller, such as computer mouse, including a displaceable casing and a numeric keypad having at least one functional key and a plurality of numeric keys formed on a surface of the casing. A displacement detection mechanism is arranged inside the casing to detect the displacement of the casing. A control circuit converts the detected displacement into displacement signals transmitted through a cable or a wireless communication device to a computer, which in turn controls the movement of a screen cursor. The control circuit is reversibly switchable from the cursor control mode into a keypad mode in which the control circuit receives actuation of the keys and applies corresponding signals to the computer device.
