Abstract: A touchpad module includes a base plate, a touch member, a switch, a supporting element and an elastic element. The base plate includes a triggering part. The switch is disposed on the touch member and aligned with the triggering part. The elastic element includes a fixing structure and a swinging structure. The swinging structure includes two lateral swinging segments and a middle swinging segment. The lateral swinging segments are arranged between the supporting element and the touch member. The middle swinging segment is arranged between the base plate and the touch member. The fixing structure is connected with the middle swinging segment and arranged between the lateral swinging segments. When an external force is exerted on the touchpad module, the middle swinging segment is swung toward the base plate, and the lateral swinging segments are swung away from the supporting element.

Abstract: A touchpad module includes a base plate, a touch member, a switch and a supporting assembly. The base plate includes a triggering part. The switch is disposed on the touch member and aligned with the triggering part. The supporting assembly is arranged between the base plate and the touch member, and includes an elastic element. The elastic element includes a first segment, a second segment and a bent structure. In response to an external force, the touch member is swung toward the base plate by using the supporting assembly as a fulcrum, so that the switch is contacted with the triggering part. Moreover, the first segment is correspondingly moved away from the second segment by using the bent structure as a fulcrum, so that there is a first angle between the first segment and the second segment.

Abstract: A touchpad module includes a circuit board, a switch and a conductive raised structure. The circuit board includes a first conducting part and a second conducting part. The switch is installed on the circuit board. The switch includes a metal dome. The metal dome includes a first portion corresponding to the first conducting part and a second portion corresponding to the second conducting part. When the metal dome is subjected to deformation, the first portion of the metal dome is contacted with the first conducting part. The conductive raised structure is arranged between the second conducting part and the second portion of the metal dome. Since a gap is formed between the circuit board and the second portion of the metal dome, the contact area between the metal dome and the circuit board is reduced. Consequently, the generated noise is reduced.

Abstract: A surface mount device switch includes a pedestal, a flexible conducting element and a metal dome. The flexible conducting element is connected with the pedestal. There is a spacing distance between the flexible conducting element and a circuit board. The metal dome is located under a pedestal conducting part of the pedestal and the flexible conducting element. When the flexible conducting element is pushed by the metal dome, the flexible conducting element is deformable in the direction toward the circuit board. Since the collision between the metal dome and the flexible conducting element is alleviated, the noise is reduced. Consequently, the comfort of operating the touchpad module is enhanced. The present invention further provides a touchpad module and a computing device with the surface mount device switch.

Abstract: A control module includes a frame structure, a touchpad assembly and a hinge structure. The touchpad assembly is located over the frame structure. The hinge structure is arranged between the frame structure and the touchpad assembly. The hinge structure includes an elastic plate and a supporting element. An end of the elastic plate is connected with the touchpad assembly. The supporting element is disposed on frame structure and connected with the elastic plate. Due to the elastic plate, the touchpad assembly is swung is swung along a fixed direction. While the touchpad assembly is pressed down, the end of the elastic plate is correspondingly swung. Consequently, the touchpad assembly is swung stably, and the touch module is operated stably.

Abstract: A control module includes a frame structure, a touchpad assembly, a supporting element and a rotating shaft. The frame structure includes a first sheathing structure. The touchpad assembly is located over the frame structure. The supporting element is arranged between the frame structure and the touchpad assembly. The supporting element includes a supporting body a second sheathing structure. The rotating shaft is penetrated through the first sheathing structure and the second sheathing structure. A hinge structure is defined by the rotating shaft, the first sheathing structure and the second sheathing structure collaboratively. Due to the hinge structure, the touchpad assembly is swung along a fixed direction. While the touchpad assembly is pressed down, the second sheathing structure is swung relative to the first sheathing structure by using the rotating shaft as a pivotal shaft. Consequently, the touchpad assembly is swung stably, and the touch module is operated stably.

Abstract: A surface mount device switch includes a pedestal, a metal dome and a conductive buffering sheet. A pedestal contact part of the pedestal is electrically connected with a circuit board. The conductive buffering sheet is arranged between the pedestal and the metal dome. Due to the conductive buffering sheet, the metal dome does not collide with the conducting part of the pedestal to generate the click sound. Consequently, the comfort of operating the touchpad module is enhanced. The present invention further provides a touchpad module and a computing device with the surface mount device switch.

Abstract: A touch module includes an upper plate, a lower plate, a hinge structure, an elastomer and a touchpad assembly. The touchpad assembly is located over the upper plate. A first end of the upper plate and a first end of the lower plate are pivotally coupled to each other through the hinge structure. While the touchpad assembly is pressed down, a second end of the upper plate is swung downwardly relative to a second end of the lower plate and a switch element of the touchpad assembly is triggered. When the touchpad assembly is no longer pressed, the elastomer provides an elastic force to the upper plate. In response to the elastic force, the second end of the upper plate is swung upwardly relative to the second end of the lower plate and the touchpad assembly is returned to an original position.

A pedestal contact part of the pedestal is electrically connected with a circuit board. The buffering sheet is located over an opening of the pedestal. The metal dome is located under the opening. The movable conducting part is located under the buffering sheet. A portion of the movable conducting part is inserted into the opening. Due to the buffering sheet, the collision between the metal dome and the movable conducting part is alleviated and the click sound is reduced. Consequently, the comfort of operating the touchpad module is enhanced. The present invention further provides a touchpad module and a computing device with the surface mount device switch.
