  • Publication number: 20100141583
    Abstract: A wheel mouse includes a mouse case, a base, a circuit board, an encoder, a fixing element, a wheel, a switch element and a spring. The circuit board is disposed on the base. The fixing element includes a ring-shaped part and a hollow post. The encoder is accommodated within the ring-shaped part. The wheel includes a rotating shaft and a receptacle. The ring-shaped part of the fixing element is accommodated in the receptacle. A first end of the rotating shaft is inserted into the encoder perforation. The switch element is mounted on the circuit board and under a second end of the rotating shaft. The spring is inserted into the hollow post for offering an elastic force on the fixing element. Since the encoder is accommodated within the wheel, the overall volume of the wheel mouse is reduced and the loading on the wheel is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20100085306
    Abstract: A wheel mouse includes a first scroll wheel, a second scroll wheel, a first encoder, a second encoder and a control unit. The first encoder generates a first rotation signal according to the rotating condition of the first scroll wheel. The second encoder generates a second rotation signal according to the rotating condition of the second scroll wheel. The control unit is electrically connected to the first encoder and the second encoder for executing a corresponding function in response to the first rotation signal and the second rotation signal. The control unit executes a first function when only the first rotation signal is generated. The control unit executes a second function when only the second rotation signal is generated. The control unit executes a third function when the first rotation signal and the second rotation signal are simultaneously generated.
