Furthermore, the keys 22 are exposed outside the upper cover 211 of the housing 21 for being operated and pressed by a user, each key 22 includes a pivot portion 220, a trigger 223, and a force receiving end 221 and a pressing end 222 respectively located at two opposite sides of the key 22, wherein the pivot portion 220 of the key 22 is pivoted to the upper cover 211 of the housing 21 and located between the force receiving end 221 and the pressing end 222, and one end of the trigger 223 is connected to the pressing end 222, while the other end extends into the housing 21. When the pressing end 222 of any button 22 is pressed by the user, the pivot portion 220 of the button 22 pivots relative to the upper cover 211, so that the pressing end 222 of the button 22 swings downward, and the trigger member 223 moves downward to trigger the switch 23, and at this time, the circuit board 24 electrically connected to the switch 23 generates an output button signal to the computer device 3 connected to the mouse device 2, thereby driving the computer device 3 to execute corresponding instructions or functions.

In addition, in the present application, one end of each stroke adjusting element 25 is used to push up against the force receiving end 221 of the corresponding key 22, and the other end thereof is provided with an internal thread 250. Each knob structure 26 includes an operation portion 261, a rotation shaft 262 and an external thread 263 formed on the rotation shaft 262, wherein the operation portion 261 is disposed and exposed outside the housing 21 for operation rotation by a user, one end of the rotation shaft 262 is connected to the operation portion 261, and the other end of the rotation shaft 262 extends into the housing 21 to enable the external thread 263 to be screwed with the corresponding internal thread 263, wherein the user can adjust the triggering speed of the corresponding switch 23 by rotating the operation portion 261, which will be described later.

In the preferred embodiment, the housing 21 further includes two grooves 213 exposed below the base 212 for the operation portion 261 of the corresponding knob structure 26 to be disposed therein, and each of the stroke adjusting members 25 includes a stroke adjusting structure 251 and an elastic element 252, wherein each of the stroke adjusting structures 251 has a threaded passage 2511, and the threaded passage 2511 has an internal thread 250 formed therein for screwing with the external thread 263 on the rotating shaft 262 when the rotating shaft 262 of the corresponding knob structure 26 extends into the threaded passage 2511. In addition, each elastic element 252 is disposed between the corresponding key 22 and the corresponding stroke adjusting structure 251, such that two ends thereof respectively abut against the stressed end 221 of the key 22 and the stroke adjusting structure 251.

Preferably, but not limited to, the housing 21 further includes two first housing through holes 214 corresponding to the two stroke adjustment assemblies 25 and two second housing through holes 215 corresponding to the two keys 22, wherein each first housing through hole 214 is for the corresponding elastic element 252 to pass through, and each second housing through hole 215 is for the corresponding trigger 223 to pass through. Optionally, the mouse device 2 further includes a plurality of buckles 27 corresponding to the plurality of knob structures 26, and the rings 27 may be E-shaped fasteners, but not limited to, and each buckle 27 is disposed on the rotation shaft 262 of the corresponding knob structure 26 and between the corresponding stroke adjusting assembly 25 and the base 212 of the housing 21, so as to fix the knob structure 26, thereby preventing the knob structure 26 from falling out of the housing 21.

Next, how the mouse device 2 of the present application allows the user to adjust the trigger speed of the switch 23 will be described. Referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6 in synchronization, fig. 6 is a conceptual diagram of the structure of the mouse device shown in fig. 5 after the trigger speed of the switch is increased, and likewise, for clarity, fig. 6 only depicts a single button, a single switch, a single stroke adjustment assembly, and a single knob structure. When the user wants to increase the triggering speed of the switch 23 of the mouse device 2 shown in fig. 5 and rotate the operation portion 261 of the knob structure 26, the internal thread 250 of the stroke adjusting assembly 25 is screwed with the external thread 263 of the knob structure 26, so that the stroke adjusting structure 251 moves upward relative to the knob structure 26, and the elastic element 252 above the stroke adjusting structure 251 is pushed upward against the stressed end 221 of the button 22. When the force-bearing end 221 of the key 22 is pushed upwards, the pivot portion 220 of the key 22 pivots towards the direction D1 relative to the housing 21, so that the pressing end 222 of the key 22 swings downwards, and the stroke of the pressing end 222 of the key 22 required to move to the triggerable switch 23 after being pressed by the user is shortened, and the triggering speed of the switch 23 is increased.

Conversely, when the user wants to slow down the triggering speed of the switch 23 of the mouse device 2 shown in fig. 6 and rotate the operating portion 261 of the knob structure 26 in the opposite direction, the internal thread 250 of the stroke adjusting assembly 25 is screwed with the external thread 262 of the knob structure 26, so that the stroke adjusting structure 251 moves downward relative to the knob structure 26, and the force applied by the elastic element 252 to the force receiving end 221 of the button 22 is reduced. When the force applied to the force receiving end 221 of the key 22 is reduced, the pivot portion 220 of the key 22 pivots relative to the housing 21 in the direction D2, so that the pressing end 222 of the key 22 swings upward, and thus the stroke of the pressing end 222 of the key 22 required to move the triggerable switch 23 after being pressed by the user is enlarged, and the triggering speed of the switch 23 is slowed down. In addition, in the present application, when the operation portion 261 of the knob structure 26 is rotated, the knob structure 26 only rotates but does not move up or down, so that the operation portion 261 can be kept at a fixed position without shrinking or protruding, thus improving the operation convenience of the operation portion 261 and the overall appearance of the mouse device 2 is not affected.

The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the present application is not intended to limit the scope of the claims, and therefore, other equivalent changes or modifications that do not depart from the spirit of the application are intended to be included in the claims.
