Computer Mouse Button Elastic Element Rebound Restraint
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional computer mice generate rebound force after button press, leading to double-click events due to the longer arm of force, making precise single-clicks difficult, especially in competitive gaming scenarios where buttons are clicked frequently.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating an elastic element, such as a torsion spring, between the top board and button of the computer mouse, with one end abutting the top board and the other end abutting the button's inner side, to absorb and restrain the rebound force, ensuring precise single-click functionality without double-click events.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the button has a longer arm of force, then the button is easier to press, but rebound force is produced causing double-click events
Solution Approach 1:
An elastic element is introduced as an intermediary component between the button and the main body. This elastic element absorbs the rebound force generated by the button's longer arm of force, preventing the rebound from triggering false double-click events while maintaining the ease of button pressing
Solution Approach 2:
The rebound force, which is originally a harmful effect causing double-click errors, is converted into a beneficial effect by using the elastic element to absorb and utilize this energy. The elastic element transforms the harmful rebound into a controlled mechanical response that actually helps dampen excessive movement and stabilize clicking accuracy
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The elastic element effectively stabilizes the button operation, allowing for exact clicks without double-click events, enhancing user experience and performance in gaming and other applications requiring precise button control.
Implementation Method 1
The elastic element is disposed between the top board of the main body and the button. The first end of the elastic element is abutted against the top board of the main body, and the second end of the elastic element is abutted against the inner side of the button, so as to restrain a rebound force from the button

AI summary
A computer mouse capable of restraining rebound force includes a main body, a circuit board, a switch module, a button and an elastic element. The circuit board and the switch module are assembled in a receiving space of the main body. The button is movably disposed on a top board of the main body in an up-and-down manner. The elastic element is disposed between the top board and the button and close to a free end of the button. The elastic element has a first end which is abutted against the top board of main body and a second end which is abutted against an inner side of the button. Thus, the elastic element can restrain the rebound force when the button is pressed, and the button can be clicked exactly without generating a double-click event.
