Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a kind of multidimensional mixed mouse, and more particularly to a mouse provided with a push button mechanism for vertical operation and capable of operating any of X, Y and Z axes cursors.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, a mouse is provided with a slidable ball, and when the user moves the mouse, the rolling of the ball causes the cursor to move in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, that is, up, down, left, and right. The convenience of operation and control has been achieved. Since the computer screen is flat, it is generally possible to meet the needs of the user if cursor operations in the X-axis and Y-axis directions can be performed. However, in certain circumstances, manipulation in the Z-axis direction is required. For example, in computer graphics, the necessity of Z-axis operation arises due to the difference in the number of layers. Control of the depth of the large and small streaks in computer graphics also requires control in the Z-axis direction. In addition, control in the Z-axis direction is required in any situation such as acceleration, deceleration, or control of the amount of power in a computer game, and in a situation such as a change in the number of layers in a three-dimensional space.

[0003] The need for Z-axis control has already provided a multi-dimensional mixed mouse with Z-axis control, which has one lever between the left and right buttons of the mouse, The forward and backward movement of the lever is defined to control the forward and backward movement in the Z-axis direction (or up and down in the Z-axis direction). Basically, this design allows effective operation in the Z-axis direction. However, the operation of such a lever is limited to a finite space between the two buttons of the mouse, and it cannot be protruded more than the button surface, which is inconvenient in use, and the feedback reaction of the operation is intuitively sensed. It was bad, especially when operated by the middle finger of the operator, making it easy for the fingers to move. In other words, the entire mouse moved to operate the lever, which was considerably inconvenient in use.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 It is an object of the present invention to provide a kind of multidimensional mixed mouse, which is provided with a third button provided for Z-axis operation between two buttons, and the operation method is a push button method. In general, the user can operate with the pressing method that the user is most accustomed to, so that the operation feeling is good, the feedback reaction is sufficient, the operation is not too large, and the movement of the whole mouse is not affected. The disadvantage of the lever-type multidimensional mixed mouse can be improved.
