The housing covers the bracket, and the housing and bracket together form a shell. The shell has a length of 9.4 mm, a width of 9.4 mm, and a height of 4.5 mm. The lower end of the rocker handle is located inside the middle of the first rocker arm, and the upper end of the rocker handle passes through the middle of the second rocker arm. The first rocker arm swings left and right inside the shell, and the second rocker arm swings forward and backward inside the shell. The flexible carbon diaphragm is located at the lower end of the shell. An elastic element connects the flexible carbon diaphragm to the first rocker arm, and the terminals of the flexible carbon diaphragm extend to the outside of the shell.

[0027] During circuit connection, the terminals of the flexible carbon diaphragm can be directly connected to the product's circuitry, ensuring high precision. High-temperature welding is not required, reducing the impact of welding heat on the product's reset accuracy. In the left-right direction, the crank swings left and right under the action of the first rocker arm; in the forward-backward direction, the crank swings forward and backward under the action of the second rocker arm. The combination of these two elements achieves a 360° rotation function. The elastic element allows the crank to move vertically, enabling a pressing function. The overall dimensions are 9.4mm*9.4mm*4.5mm, offering advantages due to its small size.

[0028] In its specific structure, a first slider and a second slider are installed on the side of the bracket. One end of the first rocker arm swings on the first slider, and the other end of the first rocker arm is arc-shaped and contacts the flexible carbon film. One end of the second rocker arm swings on the second slider, and the other end of the second rocker arm is arc-shaped and contacts the flexible carbon film. A spring is provided between the end of the first rocker arm and the flexible carbon film, and the two sides of the spring are embedded in the flexible carbon film.
