The microswitch currently applied on the mouse generally includes a metal reed, a contact foot located below the metal reed, and a key shaft for driving the metal reed to act. When the user presses the mouse key, the key shaft will push the metal reed inside the microswitch connected thereto to move downward. With the downward movement of the metal reed, the silver dot at the front end thereof gradually approaches the contact foot below. After the user releases the mouse key, the key shaft rebounds upward under the action of the spring and other reset devices, driving the metal reed to move upward, so that the silver dot at the front end thereof is separated from the contact foot, the circuit is disconnected, the signal of pressing the key is stopped from being sent to the computer, and a click operation is completed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a mouse with a magnetic switch, typically used in gaming mice. This trigger switch can achieve an actuation distance of 0.01mm. This 0.01mm actuation distance allows the mouse to respond extremely quickly and accurately to player actions, enabling faster clicking, aiming, and other operations in games, thus enhancing the gaming experience. Compared to traditional mechanical microswitches, the trigger switch eliminates direct physical contact and friction, reducing malfunctions caused by wear and oxidation, and theoretically offering a longer lifespan, capable of withstanding prolonged, high-frequency use by gamers.

[0027] Strong anti-interference capability: The magnetic field signal is relatively stable and not easily affected by external electromagnetic interference and other factors, which can ensure the stability and reliability of mouse operation and reduce the occurrence of accidental triggering.

[0028] The mouse using a magnetic switch includes a mouse body with a PCB motherboard 16 inside. A Hall sensor 18 is electrically connected to the PCB motherboard 16. A magnetic micro switch 15 is mounted on the PCB motherboard 16, and a button 17 is located above the magnetic micro switch 15 and is connected to it via touch. In this embodiment, the Hall sensor 18 is located on the lower surface of the PCB motherboard 16, and the magnetic micro switch 15 is located on the upper surface of the PCB motherboard 16. The PCB motherboard 16 and the magnetic micro switch 15 are hot-swappable. Compared to traditional micro switches, which need to be soldered onto the PCB motherboard 16, the hot-swappable connection of the magnetic micro switch 15 simplifies installation and allows for future replacement. The Hall sensor is a small, economical linear Hall sensor chip whose output voltage changes proportionally to the power supply voltage and also proportionally to the strength of the magnetic field it senses. The zero-point output voltage (no magnetic field) of the Hall sensor is half of the power supply voltage by default, and the typical sensitivity is 2.9mV / Gs. When the user presses the mouse button 17, the second magnet 12 inside the magnetic micro switch 15 will be displaced, causing a change in the magnetic field. The Hall sensor 18 can sense this extremely small change in the magnetic field. When the change in the magnetic field reaches a certain level, such as when the distance change reaches 0.01mm, the Hall sensor 18 will be triggered to input a signal to the PCB motherboard 16.

[0029] Preferably, the magnetic micro switch 15 includes a base 1 and a trigger block 7 slidably installed inside the base 1. A first magnet 11 is fixed on one inner wall of the base 1. A second magnet 12 is embedded in the trigger block 7 at a position corresponding to the first magnet 11. When the trigger block 7 is not pressed, the first magnet 11 and the second magnet 12 are attracted to each other. When the trigger block 7 is pressed, the distance between the second magnet 12 and the Hall sensor 18 on the PCB motherboard decreases. A reset mechanism for resetting the trigger block 7 is provided between the lower end of the trigger block 7 and the base 1.

[0030] With the cooperation of the first magnet 11 and the second magnet 12, when the trigger block 7 is pressed, the second magnet 12 moves with the trigger block 7, causing a change in the relative position between the second magnet 12 and the Hall sensor 18, and the resulting magnetic field also changes, thus affecting the magnetic flux sensed by the Hall sensor 18. By adjusting the relative positional relationship between the second magnet 12 and the Hall sensor 18 and the sensitivity of the Hall sensor 18, segmented triggering of the mouse can be achieved, that is, different functions are triggered under different pressing pressure or positions. When released, the first magnet 11 plays a role in assisting the second magnet 12 to accurately return to its original position, ensuring that the second magnet 12 can move stably and return to its initial position during rapid pressing, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of mouse operation.

[0031] The reset mechanism includes a protruding post 10 integrally formed on the lower end of the base 1 and a guide post 14 integrally formed on the lower end of the trigger block 7. The guide post 14 is slidably connected inside the protruding post 10, and a spring 13 is connected between the guide post 14 and the protruding post 10. The lower end of the guide post 14 is provided with a boss 6 for mounting the spring 13. When the trigger block 7 is not under external pressure, the spring 13 can be used to drive the guide post 14 to reset, thereby improving the speed of resetting the second magnet 12.

[0032] One side of the base 1 has an integrally formed protrusion 3, and a trapezoidal slot is formed in the middle of the protrusion 3. The first magnet 11 is located at the trapezoidal slot. The protrusion 3 is designed to facilitate the identification of the installation direction of the magnetic micro switch, avoid incorrect installation direction of the magnetic micro switch, and also improve the aesthetics.

[0033] The protrusion 3 has a mounting base 8 fixed inside. The first magnet 11 is embedded inside the mounting base 8, and the length and width of the first magnet 11 are the same as the length and width of the second magnet 12. The base 1 is provided with a limiting block 9 for mounting the mounting base 8. The mounting base 8 supports the first magnet 11, making the first magnet 11 installed firmly. It also works with the second magnet 12 to attract the magnet, allowing the second magnet 12 to move stably and return to its initial position.

[0034] The upper middle part of the trigger block 7 is provided with a pressing block 2 for pressing the trigger block 7. The upper corner of the pressing block 2 is set as an arc corner. The pressing block 2 makes it easy to press the trigger block 7, so that when the user presses the mouse button, the second magnet 12 will move accordingly.

[0035] The lower end of the base 1 has two integrally formed insertion posts 4 for mounting to the PCB. The protruding post 10 is located between the two insertion posts 4. The lower end side wall of the insertion post 4 has an integrally formed protruding edge 5. An inclined surface is provided between the protruding edge 5 and the lower end of the insertion post 4. The protruding edges 5 on the two insertion posts 4 are symmetrical about the protruding post 10. The insertion posts 4 are designed to facilitate the insertion of the base 1 into the insertion hole on the PCB. The protruding edge 5 can also play a certain self-locking role to prevent the insertion post 4 from falling off the PCB.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
