Abstract

A hand-held wireless device with the PCI Express interface has a body, a PCI Express connector formed on end of the body, a control module mounted in the body and connected to the PCI Express connector, and multiple operating buttons mounted on the body. The control module has a wireless communication unit and a digital signal processor for wirelessly receiving and transmitting signals and processing data. The hand-held wireless device can be inserted to a PCI Express port of an electronic apparatus. When in use, the hand-held wireless device is detached from the electronic apparatus and communicates with the electronic apparatus through the wireless communication unit. The hand-held wireless device can be used as a wireless telephone, a game pad or an input device.
