Computer input device

The invention relates to computer peripheral devices, and more particularly to a computer input device with adjustable weight.

Today, when information is extremely digital, computers have become the basic tools that most people must use every day. Computer users must use various peripheral devices to control computer operations, such as keyboards, mice, joysticks, trackpads, etc. Input device. The mouse plays a very important role in many computer peripheral devices. It not only has a fairly simple operation mode, but also can control a lot of projects executed by the computer, and thus becomes a peripheral hardware device that is inseparable from the use of the computer.

With the increase in computer penetration, game software developed for computers is also diversified, such as fighting, shooting, sports, racing, flying, puzzles and role-playing, as well as the most popular online games. In the early days of video games, dedicated joysticks were needed, and today's computer games are almost always able to use the mouse originally configured to play games, so that players can easily get started. In many first-person game settings, the player mainly controls the movement of characters or other objects in the game by actually moving the mouse, so that the game is closer to human senses and intuition in operation to facilitate the game.

Because the game's refinement is constantly improving, the accuracy of the player's movement of characters or other objects in the game is relatively increased, so most players have abandoned the traditional mechanical ball mouse (ball-type displacement sensor) ), and choose an optical mouse (optical displacement sensor) with more accurate sensing performance. For some computer games For the player, in order to pursue higher game scores and results, the accuracy of the mouse control has reached a certain level. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of this player group, there are many game-specific mouses on the market, which use ultra-high resolution optical displacement sensors to improve the control accuracy. However, based on the difference between the feel of each player and the operating habits, if the resolution of the optical displacement sensor is only improved one by one, it cannot fully meet the needs of the player. The weight of the mouse itself also affects the precision of the manipulation. The key is important. To this end, some manufacturers have proposed related designs that can change the center of gravity of the mouse, such as Taiwan's new patent M283244 and Taiwan's invention patent I264666. They respectively expose a mouse that can adjust the center of gravity, and another example is Taiwan's new patent M303433, which is disclosed. The weight of the mouse is designed to provide the user with the appropriate center of gravity or weight to improve handling accuracy.

However, the weight components of the M283244 and I264666 cases can only adjust the center of gravity, and can not provide the player to adjust the weight of the mouse, which is not helpful for the adjustment of the operation feel, and is not practical. Although the M303433 can provide players with the weight of the mouse according to their own needs, the setting of the weight components will occupy a lot of space for the mouse, which may be crowded into the setting space of other electronic components in the mouse, or The mouse is too large. In addition, the weight component of the M303433 case is a unique component that matches the bottom groove of the mouse. It is not easy to store after disassembly. If it is lost, it cannot be replaced by other objects, which is not convenient in practical use. Looking at the above, in terms of the design of the mouse with adjustable weight, there are still some problems to be solved in the aforementioned patent cases, and the best design for the adjustment of the mouse breeding is still possible, and there is still room for further improvement.
