Abstract

A mouse includes a mainbody, a number of buttons, an interface, a sensor, a controller, and a boot button. The interface includes a first group of pins and a second group of pins. The first group of pins are connected to a motherboard. The boot button connects to the second group of pins of the interface for providing an activating signal. One of the second group of pins of the interface is operable to connect to a power-on pin of the motherboard to provide the activating signal to the power-on pin, for booting the motherboard.

Claims
