A system and method for combining the benefits of various isometric and/or anisometric mechanisms into a single pointing device are disclosed. The present invention relates to a hybrid pointing device, having a primary pointing device mechanism, such as a trackball, touch pad, or joystick, positioned conveniently on the housing of a base anisometric or isometric pointing device, such as a mouse, trackball, touch pad, or joystick, which function as a secondary pointing device mechanism. The hybrid pointing device performs different or identical functions within the context of, for example, gaming software, thus, in one embodiment combining the accuracy of the mouse with the functionality of joysticks. |
