Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an ergonomic mouse, belonging to the field of mice. Background Art

[0002] A mouse is a very common and frequently used computer input device. It can locate the cursor on the current screen and operate on the screen elements at the positions passed by the cursor through buttons and a roller device. The originator of the mouse appeared in 1968. American scientist Douglas Englebart made the first mouse in California, which got its name because it resembled a mouse. The standard name of "mouse" should be "mouse device". The use of the mouse is to make the operation of the computer more convenient and replace the cumbersome instructions of the keyboard.

[0003] Whether it is document processing, video game competitions, industrial drawing, design drawing or media production, the mouse has become an indispensable part of computer equipment. In the early days, the mouse used a trackball for detecting mouse displacement. With the progress of technology and to improve its working efficiency, it has gradually evolved into the current form of using an optical or laser module for displacement detection. In addition, to improve the functionality and convenience of the mouse, the mouse has also evolved from the earliest wired single-button mouse to the current wireless multi-button roller mouse. In order to meet the needs of different industries or personal preferences, various electronics manufacturers have also started to manufacture mice with various different shapes to match the operation needs of different users. In addition, how to improve the comfort and sensitivity of mouse buttons such as the left and right buttons, middle button pressing or operation has gradually attracted people's attention.

[0004] In addition to the left and right buttons, the roller of the mouse is the most commonly used button by general computer users. For example, the roller is rotated to browse the web or move the cursor, or the roller is pressed to output the middle button signal or switch between different function modes.

[0005] The disadvantages of the current mouse are as follows: it is not convenient to disassemble and assemble. Due to the problem of roller installation, the sensitivity is insufficient. At the same time, due to the defect of the housing structure setting, the lack of ergonomic design makes it unsuitable for the hand shapes and sizes of some people.
