New description: [New technical field] This creation is about an input device, especially an external input device. [Prior Art] -. Traditionally, the input device as a human-machine interface is a keyboard and a mouse or a touchpad. The conventional keyboard has text keys, numeric keys, and a plurality of function keys, and the user can use the keyboard for text input. , digital input and a variety of computer built-in functions. However, although the function keys of the keyboard can be used to move the cursor on the computer screen, the disadvantage of using the conventional keyboard to move the cursor is that the cursor can only move the cursor in the window in use, and cannot move the cursor outside the window. On the toolbar, to allow the computer system to perform other functions. Therefore, when the user wants to input the computer system, it is necessary to use a mouse or a touchpad. The conventional mouse has a left button and a right button, and has a middle button, so that the user can quickly move the cursor on the computer screen to click, open the toolbar, and scroll the window. However, since the user wants to input the computer system, • the keyboard and the mouse need to be used at the same time, so the disadvantage of using the conventional mouse is that when the user wants to use the keyboard or the slippery air to perform different functions of the computer system, 'they must be staggered. use. The notebook computer uses the touchpad as a mouse. Therefore, in addition to the above-mentioned functions of the conventional mouse, the touch panel can be further input by the user directly in the writing mode. However, the disadvantage of using conventional touchpads is that when a user wants to use a keyboard or trackpad to perform different functions of the computer system, especially when entering numbers, it is necessary to use both hands for interleaving. For example, first use the text key of the keyboard to enter the text, then use the numeric keys of the keyboard to enter the number after switching, and move the cursor to use the touchpad. If you want to use the mouse function to position the cursor or perform text input/intermediate digital input, you must enable it after switching, which will cause trouble and inconvenience for the user to use the keyboard and mouse or touchpad. $ 3 M382526 At the same time, the touch panels used in the notebooks are made of a film bonded to a printed circuit board. Due to problems such as gaps, impurities, or bubbles between the film and the printed circuit board, the sensor is malfunctioning or poorly recognized, resulting in abnormal function of the touch panel. [New content] * The main purpose of this creation is to provide an external input device, including an upper casing, a touch sensing module, a control module, a lighting module, a transmission module, and a transparent substrate. And a shell. The upper casing includes a viewable area and a shaded area. The touch sensing module is disposed under the upper casing and includes an input area and a first circuit. The touch sensing module is configured to receive a use operation and generate a use number II according to the operation. The control module is disposed below the shielding area and includes a second circuit, and the control module is configured to receive the signal and transmit the signal. The lighting module is disposed on the control module and includes at least two light sources for providing at least two different colors of light. A transmission module is disposed on the control module for transmitting the usage signal to a computer system. The transparent substrate is disposed on the touch sensing module and has one side, the side facing the light source, and the transparent substrate is used for lighting and providing support protection for the touch sensing module. The lower case is configured to carry the touch sensing module, the control module, the lighting module, the transmission module and the transparent substrate, and is integrated with the upper casing. The user can use the external input device of the present invention to perform the typing mode and the pointing mode. The external input device can replace the keyboard in the prior art in the typing mode, especially the digital symbol key and the function key, and can be replaced in the pointing mode. A pointing device such as a tablet, a trackpad, a trackball, a mouse, and a rocker in the conventional technique. The touch sensing module further includes a switching area for switching between the typing mode and the pointing mode. 2. The author has improved the input device of the conventional use of touch technology to provide an external input device, which is combined with a pointing device, a tablet and a numeric symbol key (keyS).
