However, it is very complicated to go through this process every time while searching a document, and there is a problem that data search cannot be performed continuously.

To compensate for this, a wheel mouse that has been developed in advance can scroll by rotating the wheel back and forth for vertical scrolling, but has a problem that it is difficult to scroll in a horizontal direction or a diagonal direction. In addition, in the case of a wheel mouse, the mouse can be scrolled left and right or diagonally after performing a plurality of processes by operating the third mouse button as a workaround, but requires several operations.

In addition, mice with similar functions have been developed through customizations made by some mouse makers, but most of them are not used due to too many menus and complicated procedures.

Therefore, the present invention combines the 4-way pad button used in the gamepad with a general mouse to enable simple operation on the mouse, and develops a new mouse focused on scrolling and internet surfing to simplify the function. By solving the above problems.
