Description

Computer mouse structure

Technical field

The utility model relates to a computer accessory, in particular to a computer mouse structure. Background technique

The structure of a conventional mouse is to realize the left and right buttons 选择 'j of the select key and the menu key, respectively, and have a wide width and a large volume. The disadvantage is that the left and right buttons need to be operated with the index finger and the middle finger respectively, while the mouse needs to be held with the thumb and ring finger or even the palm. The straight extension of the middle finger for a long time makes the nerves tense, the ring finger is not flexible, and it is difficult to exert force. As a result, the fingers are prone to fatigue when the mouse is operated for a long time. Finger fatigue and palm tenderness will ultimately affect the flexibility and productivity of mouse operation. A lot of research and facts show that the thumb, index finger and middle finger of a human hand are the most dexterous and strongest fingers among the five fingers.

The utility model aims to provide a new type of mouse that challenges the traditional structure and holding mode of the mouse, is more ergonomic, and is easy to operate without fatigue. Summary of the invention

The technical idea of the utility model is to change the traditional four-, five-, or even palm-holding method to a three-finger (thumb, forefinger, middle finger) holding method, that is, using the thumb and the middle finger to pinch the mouse body (the ring finger and the little finger are only used as an aid) Use one finger to operate the mouse button. For most people, the distance between the thumb and middle finger naturally bent will not be greater than the combined width of the index and middle fingers, so the width of the mouse can be controlled to facilitate the thumb and middle fingers. Use these three fingers to pinch the mouse to reduce the discomfort and fatigue of long-term use of the mouse.

The main technical solution of the utility model is: Generally, the left and right keys of a mouse are arranged horizontally and horizontally, and are not suitable for operation with a single index finger. Therefore, the two keys arranged horizontally, left and right can be changed to two keys arranged vertically and backward. Or, it can be changed to a conjoined button that can be pushed back and forth to facilitate the flexible operation of the index finger forward and backward flexion. Further, the front and rear keys can form an opposite angle, making it easier for the index finger to press the back mouse button during the backward curve, and making the index finger forward and backward to operate the mouse button with less effort. It is also possible to replace the two front and rear keys with opposite angles by using a combined elbow key that can be pushed back and forth. Another solution is to make the front and back mouse buttons tend to stand upright, so that the user's fingers are in a natural bending state when operating. In addition, the roller is placed in front of the keys, and the user only needs to move forward and backward in the direction of the knuckles to operate the mouse buttons and the index finger of the wheel. Instead of turning sideways, you can easily operate the buttons and wheels. Or put the scroll wheel behind the keys, so that the mouse buttons can be lower, and make the index finger of the user more comfortable. Add support surfaces on both sides of the mouse body to support the thumb and middle finger to make full use of the weight of the hand to easily hold the mouse. Drawings I 明一
