Abstract

A mouse device includes a casing, a top cover, an adjusting module and a pressing part. The casing is covered by the top cover. The top cover is movable relative to the casing. The top cover includes a saw-toothed plate. The saw-toothed plate is inserted into an inner portion of the casing and contacted with the adjusting module. The pressing part is connected with the adjusting module. When the pressing part is pressed to trigger the adjusting module, the saw-toothed plate is pushed by the adjusting module and the top cover is moved form a first position to a second position. Consequently, a shape of the mouse device is changed. The shape of the mouse device is changeable according to the size of the user's palm.
