Personal computer keyboard support having moveable mouse extension

摘要

A keyboard suppport includes a support body having a throughpassage that passes through the support body and opens on opposite sides of the support body. The support body also defines a support surface configured to accomodate a keyboard such as a keyboard for inputting alphanumeric symbols to a personal computer. A moveable mouse support fits within a portion of the throughpassage of the support and extends outwardly from the support to define a mouse support surface having a region that extends in front of a front edge of a keyboard with the keyboard resting the support surface. Although the term "mouse" has become almost universally used for the rolling input device used to move an arrow on the display screen and "pick" functions or data values, other terms such as "trackball" can be used interchangeably with the term "mouse".
