Description

Technical Field

[0002] Ships navigating rivers, lakes, and seas frequently encounter strong winds and waves, causing them to rock and roll. The common mouse, readily available in everyday life, is unsuitable for widespread use on board, presenting issues such as instability and difficulty in storage. Currently, most ships are equipped with trackballs, which suffer from slow positioning and low precision. Furthermore, trackballs easily become dirty after repeated use, susceptible to dust and other foreign objects, affecting their sensitivity and accuracy, and in severe cases, causing them to malfunction. For crew members unfamiliar with trackballs, the experience of suddenly using one is unpleasant, requiring a period of adaptation and practice to become proficient. A mouse, on the other hand, is more ergonomically designed, convenient, and quick to use, improving work efficiency. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0035] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure).
