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

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

a housing;

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, and being 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.

2. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 1, wherein the housing includes a base and a cover, 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.

3. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 2, wherein the signal input module further includes a circuit board and two switches, the two switches and the roller are disposed on the circuit board, the roller is located between the two switches and passes through the opening, and the two switches respectively correspond to the two pressing arms.

4. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 3, wherein the signal input module further includes a push element disposed at the circuit board for pushing the circuit board to move.

5. The mouse device with a movable signal input module according to claim 4, 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.

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

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

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