  • Patent number: 11314290
    Abstract: A touchpad apparatus includes a housing, a movable member, and a touchpad substrate. The housing includes a first stepped portion provided with a plurality of steps. The steps gradually ascend along a rotation direction around an axis. The movable member is disposed on the housing and is configured to rotate relative to the housing around the axis. The movable member includes a first support portion selectively pressing against one of the plurality of steps. The touchpad substrate is configured to press against one end of the movable member away from the housing. By adjusting a distance between the movable member and the touchpad substrate, a pressing stroke of the touchpad is adjusted, so that a touch force is changed.

  • Patent number: 11126284
    Abstract: A touchpad assembly for used in a housing of an electronic device is provided. The touchpad assembly includes: a touchpad and a slider. The touchpad is disposed in the housing, and includes a touch bump. The slider includes a base and a plurality of top abutment surfaces. The slider is slidably disposed in the housing, causing the touch bump to be correspondingly positioned on any of the top abutment surfaces to generate a touch stroke. The plurality of top abutment surfaces is arranged on an upper surface of the base, and there is a height difference between adjacent ones of the top abutment surfaces, causing the touch stroke to increase. An adjustable stroke of a touchpad is implemented, so that an idle stroke is increased when the touch of the touchpad is weak or dead, and the idle stroke is reduced when the touch of the touch panel is intense, thereby achieving a good pressing touch.
