    Abstract: A switch module includes a switch base, a common terminal, a normally open terminal, a resilient piece, an upper cover and a soft element. The resilient piece includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the resilient piece is disposed on the common terminal. The second portion of the resilient piece is located over the normally open terminal. The upper cover is disposed on the switch base to cover the common terminal, the normally open terminal and the resilient piece.

  • Publication number: 20200081558
    Abstract: A mouse device includes a button, a switch, a linkage element, a plate body, a supporting element and an adjusting element. A triggering part of the plate body is arranged between the linkage element and the switch. When the adjusting element is moved, the supporting element is correspondingly moved. Consequently, the supporting element is selectively contacted with the first fulcrum or the second fulcrum. While the button is pressed down and the linkage element is moved downwardly toward the triggering part, the triggering part is swung around a first fulcrum or a second fulcrum of the plate body to push the switch. Consequently, the switch is triggered.
