Description

Multi-directional adjustable mouse Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mouse technology, and more particularly to a mouse that can be adjusted in multiple directions. Background Technology

[0002] A mouse is an external input device for computers, serving as an indicator for positioning on the computer's display system. It gets its name from its resemblance to a mouse. The purpose of using a mouse is to make computer operation simpler and faster, replacing cumbersome commands.

[0003] However, with the significantly increased time spent using mice as input devices, new problems have arisen in today's workplace. Office workers need to use mice for at least 4-5 hours a day, keeping their hands in a fixed posture, making "mouse hand" a very common symptom, such as soreness and numbness. Currently, most mice on the market are simply desktop mice, failing to meet the needs of diverse user groups. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address at least one problem existing in the prior art, according to one aspect of the present invention, a multi-directionally adjustable mouse is provided, comprising:

[0005] The base is used to support the support surface;

[0006] The mouse body is movable relative to the base;

[0007] A connecting structure is provided between the base and the mouse body to allow the mouse body to rotate and / or extend relative to the base, thereby adjusting the placement of the mouse body.

[0008] In some embodiments, the mouse body is capable of rotating and extending relative to the base;

[0009] The connection structure includes a ball head and a first telescopic member. The ball head and the mouse body are rotatably connected. The first telescopic member is connected to the ball head and slidably connected to the base.

[0010] In some embodiments, the connecting structure further includes a second telescopic member connected to the base, the second telescopic member and the first telescopic member being slidably disposed with a clearance fit.

[0011] In some embodiments, the connection structure further includes a positioning element, which is mounted on one of the first telescopic member or the second telescopic member and is capable of contacting the other to increase the resistance to the movement of the first telescopic member relative to the second telescopic member.

[0012] In some embodiments, the connection structure further includes a limiting member, which is installed on one of the first telescopic member or the second telescopic member, and the other has a limiting groove. The length direction of the limiting groove is the sliding direction of the first telescopic member relative to the second telescopic member, and the limiting member and the groove wall of the limiting groove are in clearance fit.

[0013] In some embodiments, the ball head is provided with a first through hole, the first telescopic member is provided with a second through hole along the axial direction, the first through hole and the second through hole are connected, and the first through hole and the second through hole are used for wire harness to pass through.

[0014] In some embodiments, the multi-directionally adjustable mouse further includes a thumb support structure, which is detachably connected to the base for supporting the thumb.

[0015] In some embodiments, the thumb support structure includes a thumb rest and a support member, one end of the support member being detachably connected to the base, and the other end of the support member being rotatably connected to the thumb rest.

[0016] In some embodiments, the thumb support structure further includes a ball connected to the other end of the support member and for the thumb support to rotate.

[0017] In some embodiments, the base includes a mounting portion and a plastic pad surrounding the mounting portion, the mounting portion being used to connect with the connecting structure, and the plastic pad being used to support the hand.

[0018] In some embodiments, the support member is telescopically configured with a third telescopic member and a fourth telescopic member, the third telescopic member being rotatably configured with the thumb support, and the fourth telescopic member (6221) being detachably connected with the base.

[0019] In summary, the multi-directional adjustable mouse provided by this invention has the following technical effects:

[0020] By setting a base as a support foundation, the mouse body is used to receive commands from the hand and can rotate and / or extend relative to the base through the connecting structure to adjust to different placement postures. For example, it can rotate relative to the base to adjust to different orientations, or extend or retract relative to the base, or rotate and extend simultaneously to meet the needs of different users. It can adapt to the different mouse posture needs of users with different heights or seat heights. At the same time, after adjusting the mouse posture, the hand posture will also be adjusted, avoiding the use of a single posture to click the mouse, allowing the hand to move and avoiding the development of mouse hand due to being in a single usage state for a long time.

Detailed Implementation

[0045] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0047] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0048] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] With the widespread use of computers and mice, users are spending increasingly more time using mice in their daily work. Since most mice on the market are placed on a support surface for use, such as a horizontal mouse on a desktop, the hand 400 holds the mouse to control the cursor position, as shown in Figure 1. This hand posture keeps the wrist joint in a fixed position for extended periods. Some users need to use the mouse for 5-6 hours or even longer daily. Over time, this can easily lead to soreness, numbness, and other symptoms, resulting in a growing number of users experiencing "mouse hand." Furthermore, some e-sports gamers who require high-intensity training use the mouse more than 400 times per minute, leading to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). At the same time, due to factors such as different chair heights and user heights, the current market's single horizontal mouse placement posture can no longer meet the needs of different usage environments and users.

[0050] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a multi-directional adjustable mouse 100 that can arbitrarily adjust the mouse's position to a comfortable usage posture. Specifically, users can adjust the mouse body 20 to improve the comfort of use, or, because the mouse body 20 can be adjusted at any time and place, the joints of the hand can be properly moved, alleviating the discomfort caused to the hand by using the mouse horizontally for a long time.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 2 to 20, which show a multi-directional adjustable mouse 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, including a base 10, a mouse body 20, and a connecting structure 30.

[0052] Referring to Figures 2 to 13, the base 10 serves as a support base for supporting the support surface; the mouse body 20 is movable relative to the base 10; the connecting structure 30 connects the base 10 and the mouse body 20 so that the mouse body 20 can rotate and / or extend relative to the base 10, thereby adjusting the placement posture of the mouse body 20.

[0053] The aforementioned multi-directional adjustable mouse 100 uses a base 10 as a support base. The mouse body 20 receives commands from the hand and can rotate and / or extend / retract relative to the base 10 via the connecting structure 30 to adjust to different placement postures. For example, it can rotate relative to the base 10 to adjust to different orientations, or extend or shorten the distance relative to the base 10, or rotate and extend simultaneously to meet the needs of different users. It can adapt to the different mouse posture needs of users with different heights or seat heights. At the same time, after adjusting the mouse posture, the hand posture will also be adjusted, avoiding the use of a single posture to click the mouse, allowing the hand to move and avoiding the occurrence of mouse hand due to being in a single usage state.

[0054] It should be noted that, in use, the multi-directional adjustable mouse 100 of this embodiment can have a main control circuit board and photoelectric sensor in the base 10, and buttons on the mouse body 20. During use, the base 10 can move along the surface of the support surface to sense the position of the mouse body 20 and locate the cursor. The mouse body 20 has an upper operating surface 21, which serves as a support surface for the user's fingers.

[0055] The supporting surface can be a tabletop, or it can be any other structure with a supporting base, such as the surface of a chair, support platform, or other supporting structure.

[0056] The mouse body 20 can rotate, extend, or combine both relative to the base 10, thus providing different adjustment methods for the mouse body 20 relative to the base 10 and meeting the different user needs.

[0057] For example, when rotating the mouse body 20 relative to the base 10, a pivot can be provided on either the connecting structure 30 or the mouse body 20, and a connecting ear can be provided on the other. The connecting ear is rotated relative to the pivot, thereby adjusting the rotation of the mouse body 20. The direction away from the user is defined as forward, the direction closer to the user is defined as backward, the direction closer to the display is defined as left, and the direction away from the display is defined as right. For example, in one embodiment, when the pivot is positioned in the forward / backward direction, the upper operating surface 21 of the mouse body 20 can rotate towards or away from the display, thus adjusting the user's hand posture. Or, in another embodiment, when the pivot is positioned in the left / right direction, the mouse body 20 rotates along the pivot, tilting the mouse forward or backward, also adjusting the user's hand posture.

[0058] Furthermore, when the mouse body 20 extends or retracts relative to the base 10, the connecting structure 30 can be configured as a slider. The slider is connected to the mouse body 20 and slides relative to the base 10, and has friction with the base 10, thereby enabling the mouse body 20 to extend or retract relative to the base 10; or the first telescopic member 32 is connected to the base 10 and slides relative to the mouse body 20, and has friction with the mouse body 20, which can also enable the mouse body 20 to extend or retract relative to the base 10.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mouse body 20 can rotate and extend relative to the base 10 to achieve adjustment of the mouse body 20 relative to the base 10.

[0060] To implement this adjustment method, please refer to Figures 12, 13, and 15 to 17. To enhance the multi-angle adjustment capabilities of the mouse, the connecting structure 30 includes a ball head 31 and a first telescopic member 32. The ball head 31 and the mouse body 20 are rotatably configured. The first telescopic member 32 is connected to the ball head 31 and slidably configured with the base 10, with a clearance fit. Specifically, the mouse body 20 has a receiving groove 22, as shown in Figure 14. The ball head 31 is embedded in the receiving groove 22 and has a clearance fit with the side wall of the receiving groove 22. Both can rotate and have friction, allowing the mouse body 20 to rotate relative to the ball head 31 and stop at any position. Thus, by setting the ball head 31, the mouse body 20 can rotate in any direction relative to the ball head 31. For example, when the upper operating surface 21 rotates towards the monitor, it can accommodate users accustomed to using the mouse with their left hand, as shown in Figure 3. When the upper operating surface 21 rotates away from the monitor, it can accommodate users in positions such as shown in Figure 2. This design caters to the needs of right-handed users; it also allows the mouse to be tilted forward, backward, or rotated in other directions, such as the different orientations shown in Figures 5 to 10. This enables users to rotate the mouse body 20 in different directions, adjusting the hand posture and wrist joint movement, avoiding a fixed posture and alleviating discomfort from prolonged hand confinement. Furthermore, the extension and retraction of the first telescopic component 32 relative to the base 10 further enhances the adjustment options for the mouse body 20. For example, the mouse body 20 can be shortened towards the base 10, as shown in Figure 5, or extended away from the base 10, as shown in Figure 4. This not only meets the needs of users of different heights or seat heights but also, in conjunction with the rotation of the ball head 31, further increases the variety of adjustment options available to users. In other embodiments, when the connecting structure 30 is also configured to include a ball head 31 and a first telescopic member 32, the ball head 31 can be rotated relative to the base 10 and the first telescopic member 32 can be slid relative to the mouse body 20, which can also achieve the effect of the mouse body 20 rotating and telescopic relative to the base 10.

[0061] Furthermore, since the mouse body 20 can rotate relative to the ball 63 in any direction and needs to extend and retract relative to the base 10 via the first telescopic member 32, for example, to avoid interference between the mouse body 20 and the first telescopic member 32 when the mouse body 20 is tilted for right-hand use or tilted to the left for left-hand use, the mouse body 20 is also provided with multiple clearance slots 23 in various directions. For example, as shown in Figure 14, the clearance slots 23 are connected to the receiving slots 22 so as to avoid the setting of the first telescopic member 32 through the clearance slots 23, thereby realizing the adjustment of the mouse body 20 in various directions.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 12, 13, and 15 to 17. In one embodiment of the present invention, since the first telescopic member 32 needs to slide relative to the base 10, in order to ensure the structural strength of the mouse body 20 relative to the base 10 during long-term telescopic use, the connecting structure 30 further includes a second telescopic member 33. The second telescopic member 33 is connected to the base 10, and the second telescopic member 33 and the first telescopic member 32 are slidably configured with a clearance fit. Thus, by also providing a second telescopic member 33 in the base 10, the first telescopic member 32 can slide, increasing the support strength for the sliding of the first telescopic member 32, and also increasing the structural strength of the base 10. In another embodiment, a groove for the first telescopic member 32 to slide can also be provided in the base 10, which can also realize the direct sliding of the first telescopic member 32 relative to the base 10. It is understood that, due to the clearance fit, there is frictional resistance between the two, and the mouse body 20 can stop at any position after sliding to any position.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first telescopic member 32 and the second telescopic member 33 are arranged in the vertical direction. Further, one of the first telescopic member 32 and the second telescopic member 33 can be a slider, and the other can have a groove; or both can be arranged in a columnar shape, with one able to slide on the inner wall of the other and locked by friction.

[0064] Referring to Figures 12, 13, and 15 to 17, in this embodiment, both the first telescopic member 32 and the second telescopic member 33 are columnar to provide a larger contact area during sliding, ensuring stability during sliding. Furthermore, the second telescopic member 33 is fitted over the first telescopic member 32. In another embodiment, the first telescopic member 32 can also be fitted over the second telescopic member 33, achieving the same relative sliding effect.

[0065] Specifically, please refer to Figures 15 to 17. When installing the second telescopic member 33 and the base 10, the second telescopic member 33 is provided with a mounting ear 333. The mounting ear 333 is connected to the base 10. For example, the mounting ear 333 and the base 10 can be connected by bolts, thereby fixing the second telescopic member 33 on the base 10.

[0066] Furthermore, mounting ears 333 are provided on the second telescopic member 33 to connect with the base 10, which facilitates the independent molding of the base 10, the entire connecting structure 30, and the mouse body 20. Subsequent installation of all three is then possible, simplifying the molding and installation of the multi-directionally adjustable mouse 100. For example, as shown in Figures 11 to 13, the connecting structure 30 can function as an independent molding unit. Simultaneously, because the connecting structure 30 can be molded independently, it is also convenient for application in other support devices.

[0067] Furthermore, referring to Figures 13 and 15, in order to improve the feel of the first telescopic member 32 sliding relative to the second telescopic member 33, the connecting structure 30 also includes a positioning member 40. The positioning member 40 is installed on one of the first telescopic member 32 or the second telescopic member 33 and can contact the other. For example, the positioning member 40 is installed on the first telescopic member 32 and contacts the second telescopic member 33; or it is installed on the second telescopic member 33 and contacts the first telescopic member 32, so as to increase the resistance of the movement of the first telescopic member 32 relative to the second telescopic member 33. In this way, by setting the positioning member 40, the resistance of the first telescopic member 32 sliding relative to the second telescopic member 33 is increased, and there will be a clear feel when manually moving the first telescopic member 32. The motion feedback between the first telescopic member 32 and the second telescopic member 33 is more obvious, and the way the first telescopic member 32 slides relative to the second telescopic member 33 is more convenient.

[0068] Please refer to Figures 13 and 15. Specifically, in this embodiment, the positioning member 40 is annular and is mounted on the first telescopic member 32. The outer surface of the first telescopic member 32 has an annular groove 321. After the first telescopic member 32 is embedded in the annular groove 321, the positioning member 40 can be easily installed on the first telescopic member 32, thus limiting the installation of the positioning member 40. The installation method is simple, and the processing and assembly costs are lower. At the same time, by setting the annular groove 321, the situation where the positioning member 40 moves after long-term relative sliding between the first telescopic member 32 and the second telescopic member 33 is avoided.

[0069] The positioning element 40 is made of one of plastic, rubber, and silicone. In another embodiment, an annular groove can be formed on the inner surface of the second telescopic member 33, and the positioning element 40 is embedded in the annular groove 321, which allows the positioning element 40 to be easily installed on the second telescopic member 33.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 12, 13, and 15 to 17. In one embodiment of the present invention, to prevent the mouse body 20 from detaching during the stretching process relative to the base 10, the connecting structure 30 further includes a limiting member 50. The limiting member 50 is installed on one of the first telescopic member 32 or the second telescopic member 33, and the other is provided with a limiting groove 331. The length direction of the limiting groove 331 is the sliding direction of the first telescopic member 32 relative to the second telescopic member 33. The limiting member 50 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 331 are in clearance fit. For example, if the limiting member 50 is provided on the first telescopic member 32, then the limiting groove 331 is provided on the second telescopic member 33. The first telescopic member 32 is provided with a limiting groove 331, and the second telescopic member 33 is provided with a limiting member 50. In this way, by setting the limiting member 50, when the first telescopic member 32 slides relative to the second telescopic member 33, the limiting member 50 can be restricted to slide between the two ends of the limiting groove 331, that is, slide along the length direction of the limiting groove 331. The extension length of the limiting groove 331 limits the distance of the extension and retraction of the first telescopic member 32 relative to the second telescopic member 33. In this way, the extension length of the mouse body 20 relative to the base 10 is limited, and the situation of the mouse body 20 detaching from the base 10 after being extended is also avoided.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 12 and 15 to 17. In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to avoid messy wiring, the ball head 31 is provided with a first through hole 311, and the first telescopic member 32 is provided with a second through hole 322 along the axial direction. The first through hole 311 and the second through hole 322 are connected. The first through hole 311 and the second through hole 322 are used for the wire harness 200 to pass through. In this way, when the main control circuit board in the base 10 needs to be connected to the electronic device in the mouse body 20, the wire harness 200 connecting the main control circuit board passes through the second through hole 322 and the first through hole 311 in sequence and enters into the mouse body 20 to connect with the electronic device in the mouse body 20. The arrangement of the first through hole 311 and the second through hole 322 has the following advantages: First, the wire harness 200 can directly pass through the first telescopic member 32 and the ball head 31 into the mouse body 20 without having to go around the first telescopic member 32, thus shortening the path of the wire harness 200. Second, the ball head 31 and the first telescopic member 32 have the function of constraining and fixing the wire harness 200 without the need for additional parts to fix the wire harness 200, making the installation of the wire harness 200 more convenient. Furthermore, by passing the wire harness 200 through the first through hole 311 and the second through hole 322, the arrangement of the wire harness 200 from the outside of the base 10 into the mouse body 20 is avoided, preventing the wire harness 200 from becoming messy.

[0072] Furthermore, since the first telescopic member 32 has a length direction, the extension direction of the second through hole 322 is the length direction of the first telescopic member 32. At the same time, the first telescopic member 32 is connected to the ball head 31, and the extension direction of the first through hole 311 provided in the ball head 31 is the length direction of the first telescopic member 32, so that the wire harness 200 can pass through the ball head 31 and avoids interfering with the rotation of the mouse body 20 relative to the ball 63.

[0073] It should be noted that the connection structure 30 in this embodiment also includes a second telescopic member 33. The second telescopic member 33 is provided with a third through hole 332. That is, the first telescopic member 32 is slidably disposed relative to the hole wall of the third through hole 332. The wire harness 200 passes through the third through hole 332, the second through hole 322 and the first through hole 311 in sequence into the mouse body 20.

[0074] Please refer to Figures 2, 3, and 18 to 20. In one embodiment of the present invention, to further increase the comfort of using the mouse, the multi-directionally adjustable mouse 100 also includes a thumb support structure 60. The thumb support structure 60 is detachably connected to the base 10 and is used to support the thumb. Thus, when the mouse body 20 is tilted relative to the base 10, for example, when the upper operating surface 21 is tilted to the right for right-hand use, or when the upper operating surface 21 is tilted to the left for left-hand use, the thumb support structure 60 can be installed in the base 10 to support the thumb and prevent the thumb from being suspended in the air. Therefore, when the mouse is in use, the mouse body 20 supports the palm, and the thumb support structure 60 supports the thumb, improving the comfort of using the mouse.

[0075] The thumb support structure 60 can be detachably installed relative to the mouse body 20 by means of plugging or snapping. For example, a plugging slot 11 is provided in the base 10. When the thumb support structure 60 is needed, it is plugged into the support slot to support the thumb. Understandably, the base 10 has two plugging slots 11 along the left-right direction. When the mouse body 20 is tilted to the right for right-handed use, the thumb support structure 60 is plugged into the left plugging slot 11; when the mouse body 20 is tilted to the left for left-handed use, the thumb support structure 60 is plugged into the left plugging slot 11.

[0076] Specifically, to accommodate the mouse body 20's ability to rotate relative to the base 10 for adjustment, the thumb support structure 60 in this embodiment includes a thumb rest 61 and a support member 62. One end of the support member 62 is detachably connected to the base 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the thumb rest 61. The thumb rest 61 has a placement groove 611 adapted to the ergonomic shape of the thumb, allowing the thumb to be placed within it. Since the thumb rest 61 rotates relative to the support member 62, it rotates synchronously with the rotation direction of the mouse body 20 relative to the base 10, thus providing support for the entire hand together with the mouse body 20. The rotation of the thumb rest 61 relative to the support member 62 can be achieved by using a pivot. One of the thumb rest 61 or the support member 62 has a pivot, and the other has a rotating ear. The rotating ear rotates relative to the pivot, thus enabling the thumb rest 61 to rotate relative to the support member 62.

[0077] Furthermore, in order to accommodate the rotation adjustment of the mouse body 20 relative to the base 10 via the ball 63, the thumb support structure 60 of this embodiment also includes a ball 63 when the thumb rest 61 rotates relative to the support member 62. The ball 63 is connected to the other end of the support member 62 and allows the thumb rest 61 to rotate. That is, by setting the ball 63 on the support member 62, and with the mouse body 20 rotating relative to the base 10 via the ball 63, the thumb rest 61 can also rotate in all directions as the mouse body 20 rotates relative to the ball 63. This allows the thumb rest 61 to support the lower surface 24 of the mouse body 20 after rotation, and work together with the mouse body 20 to support the hand.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 19 to 22. The multi-directionally adjustable mouse 100 of this embodiment can be equipped with multiple support members 62 of different lengths to adapt to different extension states between the first telescopic member 32 and the second telescopic member 33. In Figures 19 and 20, the support member 62 represents the first length L1; in Figure 21, the support member 62 represents the second length L2; and in Figure 22, the support member 62 represents the third length L3, where L1 > L2 > L3. In other embodiments, the number of support members 62 with different lengths is not limited to three; two, four, or more can be used. Users can change them as needed. This embodiment only uses three support members for illustration.

[0079] Furthermore, referring to Figure 23, to further facilitate the use of the mouse, the support member 62 is provided with a retractable third telescopic member 621 and a fourth telescopic member 622. The third telescopic member 621 and the thumb rest 61 are rotatably connected to the ball 63. The fourth telescopic member 6221 and the base 10 are detachably connected, that is, inserted into the insertion slot 11. In this way, as the mouse body 20 extends and retracts relative to the base 10, the thumb rest 61 can also extend and retract relative to the base 10, so that after the thumb rest 61 rotates, it can support the bottom surface 24 of the mouse body 20, and together with the mouse body 20, it can provide support for the hand, further improving the usability and convenience of the mouse.

[0080] The telescopic methods of the third telescopic member 621 and the fourth telescopic member 622 can be referred to the telescopic methods of the first telescopic member 32 and the second telescopic member 33, and will not be described in detail here.

[0081] Understandably, when the first telescopic member 32 and the second telescopic member 33 are in the retracted state, and the mouse body 20 is in a horizontal position relative to the base 10, the thumb rest 61 structure is not needed and can be removed, as shown in the usage postures in Figures 4 to 12.

[0082] When the thumb support 61 and the ball 63 are rotated, a mating frame 612 is provided on the back of the thumb support 61. A gap 613 is provided in the mating frame 612 so that the ball 63 can be squeezed and deformed by the mating frame 612, thereby being installed in the mating frame 612.

[0083] Please refer to Figures 2 to 13. In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to further improve the comfort of hand use, the base 10 includes a mounting part 12 and a plastic pad 13 surrounding the mounting part 12. The mounting part 12 is used to connect with the connecting structure 30, and the plastic pad 13 is used to support the hand. In addition, by providing the plastic pad 13, which has a certain degree of softness, when the hand is placed on the mouse body 20 for use, the wrist can also be supported by the plastic pad, thus improving the comfort of use.

[0084] In this embodiment, the plastic pad 13 is generally elliptical in shape and is wrapped around the outside of the mounting part 12, thereby providing a larger support area and supporting the hand when using the mouse body 20 in different ways. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting part 12 and the plastic pad 13 are detachably connected, so that the user can remove or install the plastic pad 13 as needed, meeting the user's usage requirements.

[0085] Please refer to Figures 2 to 10, which are schematic diagrams of multiple usage states of the multi-directional adjustable mouse 100 of the present invention. Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the mouse body 20 tilted to the right. Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of the mouse body 20 tilted to the left. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the mouse body 20 stretched relative to the base 10. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the mouse body 20 stretched relative to the base 10 by a small distance. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the mouse body 20 rotated to the left relative to the base by an angle. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the mouse body 20 rotated to the right relative to the base by an angle. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the mouse body 20 tilted forward relative to the base. Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the mouse body 20 tilted backward relative to the base.

[0086] The aforementioned multi-directional adjustable mouse 100, by configuring the connecting structure 30 to include a ball joint 31 and a first telescopic member 32, allows the mouse body 20 to rotate in any direction relative to the ball joint 31, avoiding a single fixed usage posture, allowing wrist joint movement, and alleviating discomfort caused by prolonged hand confinement to a certain posture. Simultaneously, the extension and retraction of the first telescopic member 32 relative to the base 10 further increases the adjustment options for the mouse body 20, not only meeting the needs of users of different heights or seat heights, but also further expanding the user's ability to adjust the mouse in various ways in conjunction with the rotation relative to the ball joint 31. The ball joint 31 has a first through hole 311, and the first telescopic member 32 has a second through hole 32. 22. The first through hole 311 and the second through hole 322 can be used for the wire harness 200 to pass through. The wire harness 200 can directly pass through the first telescopic member 32 and the ball head 31 into the mouse body 20, making the path of the wire harness 200 shorter and eliminating the need for other parts to fix the wire harness 200, thus avoiding the wire harness 200 from becoming messy. The thumb support structure 60 is set to support the thumb and prevent the thumb from being in a suspended state, thus improving the comfort of using the mouse. The base 10 is set to include the mounting part 12 and the plastic pad 13 wrapped around the mounting part 12. The plastic pad 13 has a certain degree of softness. When the hand is placed on the mouse body 20 for use, the wrist can also be supported by the plastic pad 13, which improves the comfort of use.
