Description

foldable mouse

The novel creation relates to a foldable mouse.

Most of the existing notebook computers will install a touchpad and two buttons under the keyboard, allowing the user to control the position of the cursor through the movement of a single finger, and use two buttons and one side of the touchpad to replace the left and right buttons of the mouse. scroll wheel function. However, the existing touchpad requires both hands to be used together, that is, one hand slides on the touchpad to control the cursor, and the other hand presses the button. keys or sliding scroll wheel, the combination of touchpad and buttons is still not as good as the existing mouse in terms of ease of operation.

The present invention provides a foldable mouse, which includes a main body, a first board, a second board, a third board and a fourth board. The main body has a first shell and a second shell, and there is a height difference between the first shell and the second shell. The first board is pivotally connected to one end of the first casing and is away from the second casing. The second board is pivotally connected to the first board, and the second board has a left button and a right button. Third plate pivot on the second plate. The fourth board is pivotally connected to the third board and the second casing, and the fourth board is away from the first casing. In the folded state, the third plate and the fourth plate are stacked on the second shell, the first plate and the second plate are flush with each other and cover the first shell and the third plate.
