Computer input peripheral for disabled users. Enables computer programs to be controlled by means of a single switch 5 which when pressed using the disabled person's remaining mobility enables the keyboard 7 and mouse 9 and all their functions to be replaced. Also allows the simultaneous use of keyboard 7 and mouse 9, but with priority given to the switch 5. It includes a display screen 15 on which all the options selectable by the disabled person 3 appear in sequence, performing optimized scans by screen area for expediting the process and reducing the number of presses necessary on the switch 5 to the minimum possible.
