| 1. An apparatus comprising:
a user input device comprising a wireless mouse having a substantially circular-symmetric shape with
an annular click button,
a circular click button located within the annular click button, and
a guide grip around a perimeter of the wireless mouse,
said annular click button, circular click button, and guide grip positioned to receive a typical user hand size, with a thumb
and a third or fourth finger holding the guide grip on substantially opposite sides of the wireless mouse, and with an index
finger and a middle finger in uniform relation to the annular click button and the circular click button regardless of a rotational
position of the wireless mouse;
a first sensor input on the user input device to capture a first motion indication;
a second sensor input on the user input device to capture a second motion indication; and
a logic unit to determine a rotational motion indication based at least in part on a relative motion of the first motion indication
and the second motion indication.
