  • Patent number: 11314341
    Abstract: A mouse device includes a casing, a button, a connecting rod assembly, an elastic member, and an optical switch. A pressing block of the button extends into the casing. The connecting rod assembly is disposed in the casing and is rotatably disposed on a shaft base of the casing. The elastic member is disposed in the casing and elastically abuts against the connecting rod assembly, so that the connecting rod assembly abuts against the pressing block to allow the button at an initial position. The optical switch is disposed in the casing and adjacent to the connecting rod assembly. The button can be moved from the initial position to a pressed position relative to the casing so as to drive the connecting rod assembly to rotate, so that the connecting rod assembly is moved relative to the optical switch to trigger the optical switch.
