[0036] In one optional embodiment, the number of adapter holes 12 is equal to the number of adapter holes 22, and adapter holes 12 penetrate the middle of the face shell body 11, and adapter holes 22 penetrate the middle of the bottom shell body 21. The outer side of the column 15 is wrapped with four sets of reinforcing ribs 16, and one end of the reinforcing ribs 16 is horizontal, so that the upper end of the silicone pad 50 can be attached to the reinforcing ribs 16, so that the through hole 51 is fitted on the outer side of the column 15, ensuring the stability of the silicone pad 50. At the same time, the auxiliary column 53 at the top of the silicone pad 50 is inserted by the auxiliary insertion column 17, and the auxiliary reinforcing rib 18 contacts the top of the auxiliary column 53, which has a limiting effect and also strengthens the stability of the auxiliary insertion column 17. The outer side of the auxiliary insertion column 17 is wrapped with two sets of auxiliary reinforcing ribs 18, and the auxiliary reinforcing ribs 18 are symmetrically distributed. The middle of the connecting insertion column 19 is penetrated by the mounting hole 110.

[0037] It should be noted that after the button module faceplate 10 is installed with the ABXY button 30, it is then installed with the silicone pad 50, through the through hole 51 and the mounting hole in the middle of the column 15 (see attached). Figure 5 Alignment is performed, and simultaneously, switch 61 is engaged in the middle of protective housing 52, causing PCB board 60 to contact silicone pad 50, and through the mounting hole in the middle of PCB board 60 (attached).

At the same time, the auxiliary block 213 plays an auxiliary role. Finally, the mounting hole 211 and the mounting hole 110 are aligned. When the front shell body 11 and the bottom shell body 21 are in contact, the adapter ring 210 is inserted into the adapter groove 111. The external bolt is inserted into the mounting hole 211 and the mounting hole 110 to fix the connecting pin 19 inside the bottom shell body 21, thereby completing the connection and fixation between the button module front shell 10 and the button module bottom shell 20. At the same time, the ABXY button 30 and the ABXY button 40 are fixed in the middle of the button module front shell 10 and the button module bottom shell 20.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, a locking block 31 that is adapted to the slot 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the ABXY button 30, so that the ABXY button 30 can be locked in the middle of the auxiliary ring 13, so that the locking block 31 abuts against the slot 14, and the position of the ABXY button 30 is prevented from shifting during the pressing and use.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, a locking block 41 that is adapted to the locking slot 24 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the ABXY button 40, so that the ABXY button 40 can be locked in the middle of the auxiliary ring 23, so that the locking block 41 and the locking slot 24 abut against each other, preventing the ABXY button 40 from shifting position during the pressing and use.

[0042] In one optional embodiment, a through hole 51 is provided in the middle of the silicone pad 50, and a protective shell 52 and an auxiliary post 53 are connected to the upper end of the silicone pad 50. A switch 61 is connected to the upper end of the PCB board 60, and the switch 61 is located in the middle of the protective shell 52. The protective shell 52 can wrap the PCB board 60. When the ABXY button 30 is pressed, the protective shell 52 is squeezed and the switch 61 is triggered. The auxiliary post 53 can be used to connect with the auxiliary insertion post 17 during the connection of the faceplate body 11 to position the silicone pad 50 and the PCB board 60.

[0043] In one optional embodiment, the conductive adhesive 70 has a through hole 71 in the middle to facilitate connection with the outer side of the support post 25, and then contacts the top of the reinforcing rib 26 to connect the conductive adhesive 70. The bottom of the conductive adhesive 70 is connected to an auxiliary post 72 that is compatible with the auxiliary insertion post 28. Thus, during the connection between the conductive adhesive 70 and the bottom shell 21, the auxiliary post 72 and the auxiliary insertion post 28 are inserted to position the conductive adhesive 70 and the bottom shell 20 of the button module.
