  • Patent number: 11163384
    Abstract: A roller wheel module includes a roller wheel, an elastic member, and an adjustment assembly. The roller wheel includes a ratchet structure and has a configuration surface. The configuration surface is divided into a blank region and a ratchet region. The ratchet structure is disposed on the configuration surface and is located in the ratchet region. The elastic member is disposed next to the roller wheel and has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the elastic member is connected to the adjustment assembly, and the adjustment assembly drives the second end of the elastic member to move between the blank region and the ratchet region. The roller wheel module allows the user to switch between a ratchet rotating mode and a smooth rolling mode according to requirements, and allows the user to quickly scrolling and have a better touch feel.

  • Patent number: 10423244
    Abstract: A cursor controlling device includes a bottom board, a pivoting structure disposed on the bottom board, a shell, and an angle-adjusting structure disposed under the shell. The shell is rotatably connected to the pivoting structure along a longitudinal axis of the pivoting structure. A side edge of the shell is formed with a stepped structure. The stepped structure has a plurality of abutting surfaces having respective distances with respect to the bottom board. The angle-adjusting structure has a supporting portion movable on the bottom board to support one of the abutting surfaces of the stepped structure. Therefore, the supporting portion is configured to selectively support one of the abutting surfaces to lift up the side edge of the shell away from the bottom board in an inclined state, or to lower the side edge of the shell to approach the bottom board in another inclined state.
