1. A computer pointing device for use on a work surface by a human user located facing the work surface, the pointing device comprising:
- a first module disposed at a first position corresponding to the natural rest position of such human user'"'"'s first hand on such work surface;
a second module disposed at a second position corresponding to the natural rest position of such human user'"'"'s second hand on such work surface;
the first and second modules being operatively electrically connected by a first cable having a first length;
the first and second modules having a second cable having a second length, the second cable operatively electrically connecting the first and second modules to a first computer pointing device input port on such computer;
the first module having a computer pointing device thereon; and
the second module having a first touch sensitive device thereon.

Abstract
A computer input device has two modules, each module located at the natural resting position of one of the computer user'"'"'s corresponding hands on a work surface. The first module has a pointing device, while the second module has a touch sensitive device such as a button. By this means, users who spend a great deal of time on the computer may easily input analog data by using one hand to point and the other hand to click, thus splitting up the point and click effort between two hands. Connections may be established wirelessly.
