Abstract

A mouse device includes a housing, a switch, a button, and a biasing member. The housing has an accommodating space therein. The switch is disposed in the accommodating space. The button covers the housing and includes a pivotal portion and a trigger portion. The pivotal portion is pivotally connected to the housing. The trigger portion extends into the accommodating space. The biasing member is located between the pivotal portion and the trigger portion and forwardly exerts force to the button in a forward-backward axial direction of the mouse device.
