  • Publication number: 20190272048
    Abstract: A mouse device includes a main body, an air cushion and a first hidden key. The first hidden key is located at a first side of the main body. The air cushion is located under the main body, and contactable with a working surface. The first hidden key is arranged between the main body and the air cushion. The first hidden key is not exposed outside. When the main body is leaned in a first direction and pressed down, the first hidden key is triggered to generate a first leaning signal. The first hidden key can be used to replace the key of the conventional keyboard. Due to the structure of the mouse device, the mouse device can be operated more intuitively.

  • Publication number: 20140078062
    Abstract: A mouse device includes a lower cover, a circuit board, a first switch, a second switch, a first swinging element, and a second swinging element. The first swinging element includes a first pressing part and a second pressing part. The first swinging element and the second swinging element are located at a front side and a rear side of the lower cover, respectively. As the mouse device is swung in a leftward direction or a rightward direction, the front side and the rear side of the mouse device are simultaneously tilted. Moreover, since the first pressing part or the second pressing part of the first swinging element is pushed by a working surface where the mouse device is placed, the first pressing part or the second pressing part is moved toward the first switch or the second switch in order to trigger the first switch or the second switch.

  • Publication number: 20140015752
    Abstract: A power-saving method for a wheel mouse is provided. The power-saving method is used to control the illumination cycle of a light emitter by judging whether a scroll wheel is triggered or judging whether the output signal from the light receiver is changed. In a case that the illumination cycle of the light emitter is a shorter second cycle, the light emitter can quickly generate the optical signal. Consequently, the optical signal is not lost, and the possibility of erroneously operating the wheel mouse is eliminated. Whereas, in a case that the illumination cycle of the light emitter is a longer first cycle, the controlling unit can reduce the power consumption in order to achieve the power-saving efficacy.

  • Publication number: 20130215031
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a roller module for an input device. The roller module includes a circuit board, a wheel swinging element arranged above the circuit board, a wheel arranged on the wheel swinging element, a mode switching element arranged between the circuit board and the wheel swinging element, a plurality of switches arranged between the circuit board and the wheel swinging element, and a micro control unit. When the wheel is moved downward a distance relative to the wheel swinging element, the wheel can't be rotated. When the wheel is pushed such that the wheel swinging element is tilted in a specific direction or moved downward, the corresponding one of the switches or the mode switching elements is triggered. When the mode switching element is triggered, the roller module is switched from a first working mode to a second working mode.
