Abstract

A mouse device with a movable signal input module includes a housing, a control module, and a signal input module. The signal input module is movably disposed in the housing and coupled to the control module. The signal input module includes a roller partially protruding from the housing. The signal input module is linearly movable relative to the housing along a travelling direction to allow the roller to in sync linearly move relative to the housing along the travelling direction.

Claims (22)

1. A mouse device with a movable signal input module, comprising:

a housing, including a base and a cover, wherein the cover is assembled to the base and has two keys adjacent to one another, an opening is formed between the two keys, and two pressing arms are respectively extended from two bottom sides of the two keys;

a control module, disposed in the housing; and

a signal input module, movably disposed in the housing, coupled to the control module, including a roller partially protruding from the housing, a circuit board and two switches, wherein the two switches and the roller are disposed on the circuit board, the roller with a rotational axis is located between the two switches and passes through the opening, and the two switches respectively correspond to the two pressing arms;

wherein the signal input module is longitudinally movable relative to the housing along a travelling direction to allow the roller, the rotational axis of the roller and the two switches to in sync longitudinally move relative to the housing along the travelling direction for longitudinally adjusting positions of the roller and the two switches.

2. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a position detector, disposed in the housing and coupled to the control module;

wherein the position detector is used to detect a position of the circuit board relative to the housing and output a position signal, such that the control unit can determine the position of the circuit board relative to the housing according to the position signal.

3. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 2 , wherein the control module includes a main board, a micro-controller and a setting interface, the micro-controller and the setting interface are electrically connected to each other and respectively disposed on the main board, the setting interface is used to generate a setting signal to the micro-controller, such that the micro-controller can control the position detector to record the position signal according to the setting signal.

4. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a display module, disposed in and exposed from the housing and operatively coupled to the control module for displaying the position signal.

5. A mouse device with a movable signal input module, comprising:

a housing, including a base and a cover, wherein the cover is assembled to the base and has two keys adjacent to one another, an opening is formed between the two keys, and two pressing arms are respectively extended from two bottom sides of the two keys;

a control module, disposed in the housing; and

a signal input module, movably disposed in the housing, coupled to the control module, including a roller partially protruding from the housing, a circuit board, two switches and a push button, wherein the two switches and the roller are disposed on the circuit board, the roller with a rotational axis is located between the two switches and passes through the opening, the two switches respectively correspond to the two pressing arms, and the push button is disposed under the circuit board and exposed to a bottom side of the base for driving the circuit board to move forward or backward;

wherein the signal input module is longitudinally movable relative to the housing along a travelling direction to allow the roller, the rotational axis of the roller and the two switches to in sync longitudinally move relative to the housing along the travelling direction for longitudinally adjusting positions of the roller and the two switches.

6. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a position detector, disposed in the housing and coupled to the control module;

wherein the position detector is used to detect a position of the circuit board relative to the housing and output a position signal, such that the control unit can determine the position of the circuit board relative to the housing according to the position signal.

7. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 6 , wherein the control module includes a main board, a micro-controller and a setting interface, the micro-controller and the setting interface are electrically connected to each other and respectively disposed on the main board, the setting interface is used to generate a setting signal to the micro-controller, such that the micro-controller can control the position detector to record the position signal according to the setting signal.

8. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a display module, disposed in and exposed from the housing and operatively coupled to the control module for displaying the position signal.
