A cursor control mechanism including an installation or mounting frame which includes a holding frame (21) and a support frame (22), a Z-axis driver wheel (6) positioned between the holding frame (21) and support-frame (22), a grid wheel (1) rotatable by the Z-axis driver wheel (6) and positioned between the holding frame (21) and the support frame (22), a first metal spring strip (3) a first insert (23) and contacting the grid of the grid wheel (1) by its opposite end, a second metal spring strip (4) which contacts the central circular conducting element (12) of the grid wheel (1) and a third metal spring strip (5) making contact with the grid (11) of the grid wheel (1). As the Z-axis drive wheel (6) is rotated, the grid wheel (1) makes electrical connections with the metal springy strips (3-5) which are supplied with voltage with the first and third strips (3,5) moved alternately over the conducting and insulation regions to enable the grid wheel to output a signal corresponding to the amount of movement and the angle of the Z-axis drive wheel (6) so as to control the amount of movement and direction of the cursor on a display screen
