Mouse Adjusting Device for Dynamic Sensitivity Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Professional e-sport gamers require adjustable mouse sensitivity during games, but existing mice require users to leave the game to adjust settings, leading to errors due to insufficient mouse height adjustments.
Innovation Solution
A mouse adjusting device with a slidable base, sensor carrier, and adjusting element featuring a drive screw and nut, allowing vertical movement of the sensing module through horizontal rotation, enabling users to adjust the mouse height without leaving the game.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If the mouse sensitivity is increased to enable quick movements and micromanagement, then the responsiveness for e-sport gaming is improved, but errors occur when the mouse is not raised sufficiently high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamically adjustable sensing module height mechanism, allowing the mouse to transition between different sensing heights during operation. The sensing module can be raised to a first height for quick movements and lowered to a second height for precise aiming, enabling the system to adapt its characteristics in real-time rather than being fixed
2Reliability
If the mouse sensitivity is decreased to prevent sensing errors, then the reliability of sensing is improved, but the ability to perform quick movements and micromanagement is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable height mechanism allows dynamic switching between sensitivity modes. When the sensing module is at the first (higher) position, the system provides high responsiveness for quick movements. When lowered to the second (lower) position, it provides enhanced precision for micromanagement tasks, thus resolving the trade-off between speed and reliability
3Adaptability or versatility
If users adjust mouse sensitivity during games, then the adaptability to different gaming situations is improved, but the complexity of the adjustment mechanism is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting mechanism is segmented into distinct functional components: a drive screw for actuation, a drive nut for motion conversion, and a ramp portion for mechanical advantage. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function efficiently, reducing overall complexity while maintaining adjustability
Solution Approach 2:
The ramp portion acts as an intermediary mechanical element that converts rotational motion of the drive screw into vertical displacement of the sensing module. This intermediary mechanism provides smooth, controlled adjustment without requiring complex electronic controls or multiple actuators
4Adaptability or versatility
If users adjust mouse sensitivity during games, then the usability for different gaming scenarios is improved, but the time required to adjust settings is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The mechanical adjusting mechanism is designed to be manually operable by the user directly on the mouse device, allowing self-adjustment without needing to access operating system menus or software interfaces. The user can simply rotate the drive screw to adjust the sensing module height, enabling quick in-game adjustments that do not require leaving the game or navigating through multiple settings screens

AI summary
A mouse adjusting device of a mouse used to adjust the height of a sensing module of the mouse includes a slidable base, a sensor carrier, and an adjusting element. The moving base is movably disposed in the mouse. The bottom portion of the slidable base has at least a ramp portion. The sensor carrier is disposed in the mouse and below the slidable base. The sensor carrier with the sensing module is liftable and lowerable in the mouse. The top portion of the sensor carrier has at least a block portion abutting against the ramp portion of the slidable base. The adjusting element has a drive screw and a drive nut. The drive nut is embedded in the slidable base. An end of the drive screw is rotatably bolted to the drive nut, and another end of the driving screw is rotatably exposed outside the mouse.
