Abstract
A joystick-type mouse includes a main body and a mode detecting assembly. The main body includes a controlling module. The mode detecting assembly includes a coupling member, a posture sensor and a magnetic field sensor. A pivotal part is located at a first side of the coupling member and pivotally coupled with the main body. A magnetic part is located at a second side of the coupling member. The posture sensor and the magnetic field sensor are disposed within the main body and electrically connected with the controlling module. Consequently, the mouse can be switched to a joystick mode.
Claims18
A joystick-type mouse, comprising:
- a main body comprising a controlling module;
- and
- a mode detecting assembly comprising a coupling member, a posture sensor and a magnetic field sensor, wherein a pivotal part is located at a first side of the coupling member and pivotally coupled with the main body, a magnetic part is located at a second side of the coupling member, and the posture sensor and the magnetic field sensor are disposed within the main body and electrically connected with the controlling module,
- wherein when the posture sensor detects that the main body is in an upright status and the magnetic field sensor detects that the magnetic part is rotated in a direction away from the main body, the main body enters a joystick mode under control of the controlling module.
