Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alternative mounting mechanism for a navigation tool in order to accommodate a device to a thin profile. SOLUTION: The socket is a device for connecting the trackball device to a printed-circuit board and configured to receive a trackball device in a receiving space formed therein. The socket has an exterior configured to fit within an installation recess in a printed circuit board. A biased electrical interconnector extends from an interior surface of the receiving space into the receiving space, the electrical interconnector oriented within the receiving space at a position that establishes biased electrical contact with a target electrical contact of the trackball device and biased electrical contact with a corresponding electrical contact on the printed circuit board when the socket is installed in an installation recess.
