A user interface support apparatus for securing wireless computer peripherals (WCP) such as a keyboard and a pointing device is disclosed. The user interface support apparatus comprises a board comprising (i) a keyboard area on a top surface of the board and configured to secure a keyboard and (ii) a pointing device area on a top surface of the board. The user interface support apparatus also comprises a pointing device support structure secured to the pointing device area of the board and operable in a first mode or a second mode. In the first mode, the pointing device support structure in conjunction with the pointing device area of the board stores the pointing device. In the second mode, the pointing device support structure provides a planar surface on which to operate the pointing device.

1. A user interface support apparatus comprising: a. a board comprising: 1. a first handle extending through a first end of the board;2. a second handle extending through a second end of the board, the second handle being oriented in parallel with the first handle and a width of the board, the width of the board being shorter than a length of the board;3. a keyboard area comprising one or more securing elements on a top surface of the board; and4. a pointing device area comprising a plurality of securing elements on the top surface of the board, wherein the keyboard area is positioned between and adjacent to the first handle and the pointing device area, and the pointing device area is positioned between and adjacent to the second handle and the keyboard area, wherein a length of the keyboard area is greater than a length of the pointing device area, and wherein the top surface of the board is planar between and including the keyboard area and the pointing device area;b. a computer keyboard comprising one or more securing elements that matingly engage the one or more keyboard area securing elements to releasably couple the keyboard to the keyboard area; andc. an elastic pointing device support structure comprising a plurality of securing elements that matingly engage the plurality of pointing device area securing elements to releasably couple the pointing device support structure to the pointing device area, creating a pocket between the top surface of the board and a bottom surface of the pointing device support structure, wherein a top surface of the pointing device support structure provides a planar surface on which to laterally move an electronic mouse, wherein lateral movement of the mouse on the pointing device support structure controls movement of a cursor on a connected computer screen, wherein when the mouse is not in operation, the pointing device support structure stretches over the mouse to omnidirectionally secure the mouse within the pocket. 2. The user interface support apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the pointing device support structure is detachable from the pointing device area. 3. The user interface support apparatus of claim 2, wherein the pointing device support structure securing elements are attached to a plurality of corners of the pointing device support structure. 4. The user interface support apparatus of claim 2, wherein the pointing device support structure securing elements are attached along a perimeter of the pointing device support structure. 5. The user interface support apparatus of claim 3, wherein the pointing device support structure securing mechanism is at least one of a hook and loop, snap hook, button, and adhesive type fastener. 6. The user interface support apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more keyboard area securing elements and the one or more keyboard securing elements is at least one of a hook and loop, snap hook, button, clip, flange, and adhesive type fastener. 7. The user interface support apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a spacer comprising a first securing element on a top surface of the spacer and second securing element on a bottom surface of the spacer, wherein the first securing element matingly engages at least one of the one or more keyboard securing elements and the second securing element matingly engages at least one of the one or more keyboard area securing elements to removably couple the keyboard to the keyboard area, wherein a height of the spacer is adjustable. 8. The user interface support apparatus of claim 7, wherein the board further comprises: a. one or more slots extending into the top surface of the board; andb. one or more protruding members protruding outward from the top surface of the board. 9. The user interface support apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a pad attached to a bottom surface of the board, wherein at least a length of the pad is equal to the length of the board.
