1. A mouse with a rotatable operation module, said mouse comprising:
- a mouse housing having a sidewall, wherein a hollow portion is formed in said sidewall, and said sidewall includes an inner surface and an outer surface; and
said operation module disposed on said sidewall and penetrated through said hollow portion, wherein said operation module comprises;
a positioning member fixed on said inner surface of said sidewall;
a rotary member disposed within said hollow portion and exposed to said outer surface of said sidewall, so that said rotary member is rotatable with respect to said sidewall; and
a signal generating module fixed on said rotary member for generating a control signal;
wherein said signal generating module comprises;
a soft key to be pressed by a user; and
a pressure sensitive element for generating a pressing signal in response to a pressing action of said user; and
a circuit board for receiving said pressing signal, and generating a control signal in response to said pressing signal, wherein said pressure sensitive element is mounted on said circuit board; and
wherein said rotary member further comprises a protrusion for fixing said soft key on said rotary member, so that said soft key is rotatable with said rotary member.
