Abstract

The present invention discloses a mouse (100) comprising a main body (1), an arcuate protrusion (3), a touch module (4), a processing module (5), a vibration module (6), and a sheath layer. The main body (1) has two buttons (11). The arcuate protrusion (3) is arranged on the main body (1) and is located between the two buttons (11). The touch module (4) comprises a flexible circuit board (41). The flexible circuit board (41) is arranged on the inside of the arcuate protrusion (3). The processing module (5) is electrically connected to the touch module (4). The vibration module (6) is arranged in the main body (1) and is electrically connected to the processing module (5). The sheath layer covers the outside of the main body (1) and does not cover the arcuate protrusion (3).The processing module (5) can receive a touch signal generated by the touch module (4) upon detecting a touch of the arcuate projection (3) and control the vibration module (6) based on the touch signal. Furthermore, the processing module (5) can generate a scroll wheel signal based on the touch signal and transmit it externally.
