<p>A manually operable controller has a power supply (302), a processing device (303), an output device (305) and a fabric cover (102). The fabric cover is configured to produce input signals to the processing device in response to manual pressure applied thereto. In this way, it is possible for the device to be substantially soft as an alternative to presenting a hard plastic cover with buttons extending therefrom. Substantially the whole of the surface of the device may be used to provide interactions and the device may be provided with an orientation detector (304) so as to provide a first functionality, such as that of a television remote control, and a second functionality, such as that of a computer input device.</p> |
