The base is disposed within the main body and above the circuit board, and includes an elongated slot. The touch support stand is mounted on the base and aligned with the elongated slot. The touch sensor is supported on the touch support stand and electrically connected to the circuit board. In response to a touching action on the touch sensor, a screen scrolling signal is generated. The knock sensor is mounted on the circuit board and under the touch support stand. The knock sensor is triggered when the touch support stand is moved to touch the knock sensor.

Abstract: A computer peripheral device includes a first housing, a second housing, a connecting member, and a judging circuit. The connecting member is made of a conducting material and includes a rotating shaft. The second housing is rotatable relative to the first housing with rotation of the rotating shaft, so that the computer peripheral device is switched between a first configuration and a second configuration. The judging circuit includes a first conducting contact and a second conducting contact. The judging circuit activates a first function when the computer peripheral device is adjusted to the first configuration such that the first conducting contact is electrically connected to the second conducting contact through the connecting member. The judging circuit activates a second function when the computer peripheral device is adjusted to the second configuration such that the electrical connection between the first conducting contact and the second conducting contact is interrupted.

Abstract: A wireless mouse includes a lower housing, a carrier, a battery cover, an elastic element, a first conductive piece and a second conductive piece. The lower housing receives therein a circuit board. The carrier is disposed above the circuit board and has a receptacle for accommodating a battery therein. The battery cover is used for sheltering a portion of the carrier and is pivotal relative to the carrier. The elastic element is disposed on the carrier for providing an upward elastic force on the battery cover. The first conductive piece is fixed on the battery cover and has a first connecting part. The second conductive piece is connected to the circuit board and includes a second connecting part and a button part, wherein the first conductive piece is in contact with the second connecting part of the second conductive piece when the battery cover is closed.

Abstract: A slim mouse includes a first housing, a second housing and a connecting member. The first housing includes a first front part and a first rear part, wherein the first rear part has a first slant. The second housing includes a second front part and a second rear part, wherein the second front part has a second slant. The connecting member includes a rotating shaft for connecting the first slant and the second slant, so that the second housing is rotatable with the rotating shaft and relative to the first housing.

Abstract: A wireless cursor control device for use with a computer system includes a main body, a wireless signal receiver, a storing portion and a resilient pad member. The main body generates a wireless signal to control a cursor of the computer system. The wireless signal receiver is swappable to be electrically connected to the computer system for receiving the wireless signal. The storing portion is disposed in the main body for accommodating the wireless signal receiver. The resilient pad member is engaged with the bilateral sides of the storing portion, and deformed to generate a restoring force when the wireless signal receiver is inserted into the storing portion. The resilient pad member is sustained against the wireless signal receiver according to the restoring force.

Abstract: A tiltable scroll wheel module for use in an input device is provided. Two confining members with complementary shapes are arranged inside the tiltable scroll wheel module. When the scroll wheel is pressed down, these two confining members are engaged with each other. Under this circumstance, the carrier member is confined in position without largely swinging the carrier member toward the left or right side thereof.

Abstract: A cursor control device for use with a computer system includes a main body, a scroll wheel assembly and a tilt sensing module. The scroll wheel assembly is disposed within the main body, and operable to move in a vertical direction and tilt toward a first tilt direction. The tilt sensing module is disposed within the main body and comprises a first triggering element and a first tilt sensor. The first triggering element is disposed above the first tilt sensor. On one hand, the first triggering element is kept at least a certain clearance from the scroll wheel assembly even when the scroll wheel assembly is moved in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the clearance is shrunk when the scroll wheel assembly is tilted toward the first tilt direction to touch the first triggering element so as to trigger the first tilt sensor.

Abstract: A wireless cursor control device for use with a computer system includes a main body, a wireless signal receiver, a storing portion and a supporting member. The main body generates a wireless signal to control a cursor of the computer system. The wireless signal receiver is swappable to be electrically connected to the computer system for receiving the wireless signal. The storing portion is disposed in the main body for accommodating the wireless signal receiver. The storing portion includes a first indentation structure and a second indentation structure in the bilateral side thereof. The supporting member has a first part and a second part to be respectively engaged with the first indentation structure and the second indentation structure according to a restoring force per se, and includes a first protrusion structure and a second protrusion structure to be sustained against the wireless signal receiver.

Abstract: A mouse has a storable hook module, which is stored within the main body of the mouse in most circumstance. In a case that the notebook computer is carried to another place, the hook module should be protruded from the main body of the mouse and then secured onto lock hole at a side wall of the notebook computer, so that the mouse is attached onto the notebook computer.
