  • Patent number: 7891627
    Abstract: A mouse pad of the present invention includes a first layer, a second layer and a plurality of flexible supporting fibers. The first layer is parallel to the second layer, and the supporting fibers are located between the first and second layers to separate the two layers apart. Thereby, a receiving room is defined between the first and second layers. The first layer is formed with a plurality of macroscopic micro bores which communicate with the receiving room. As such, situations such as dust accumulation on the bottom of a mouse can be mitigated.

  • Patent number: 7594772
    Abstract: A keyboard with intervals-adjustable keys has a baseboard, plural pairs of key modules, at least one piezoelectric device and a differential mechanism. The plural pairs of key modules are symmetrically arranged on the baseboard between the vertical axis of the baseboard. The piezoelectric devices connected with the plural pair of key modules are used to output electrical signal. The differential mechanism has at least one differential gear and at least one migration controller. When one of these pairs of key modules is forced to move, the pair of key module drives the corresponding migration controller to propel all of the differential gears. Then the other migration controllers and key modules are driven to move.
