Removable Mouse Button Switch via Bearer Ejection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mice have button switches welded to the circuit board, making it difficult to replace faulty switches or change hand feelings without damaging the device.
Innovation Solution
A mouse design featuring a removable button switch with a release unit that includes a bearer, press-fixing and ejection means, allowing for easy replacement of button switches without tools by electrically connecting and disconnecting them from the circuit board.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If button switch is welded to circuit board, then connection reliability is improved, but ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The button switch assembly is segmented from the circuit board through the use of a bearer structure with electrical connection parts that can be electrically connected and disconnected. This allows the button switch to be replaced independently without damaging the circuit board, resolving the contradiction between connection reliability and ease of repair.
Solution Approach 2:
The bearer acts as an intermediary component between the button switch and the circuit board. It provides both mechanical support and electrical connection through its electrical connection parts, enabling reliable connection during use while allowing easy disconnection for replacement, thus resolving the technical contradiction.
2Stability of the object's composition
If button switch is welded to circuit board, then structural stability is improved, but device complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The button switch assembly is divided into separable components (button switch, bearer, electrical connection parts) that can be easily assembled and disassembled. This segmentation maintains structural stability during use while dramatically simplifying the replacement process, eliminating the need for welding tools and complex procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The release unit enables users to perform replacement operations themselves without requiring specialized tools or skills. The press-fixing and ejection means allow users to easily install and remove button switches, transforming a complex repair task into a simple self-service operation.

AI summary
A mouse with a removable button switch includes: a release unit, including a bearer mounted on a circuit board of the mouse; a press-fixing and ejection means provided with a press-fixing part and an ejection part; and a press-fixing means, the press-fixing means and the press-fixing and ejection means being oppositely disposed on both sides of the bearer, and the press-fixing means being provided with the press-fixing part. In the mouse with the removable button switch in the present invention, because the button switch is not fixed on the circuit board of the mouse in a welding manner, when the button switch is faulty or a different hand feeling is required, the button switch can be conveniently replaced without causing damage to the mouse.
