Abstract
A touchpad module for an electronic device is provided. The touchpad module includes a fixing frame, a touch member, a switch member and an adjusting element. The touch member is installed within an opening of the fixing frame. The switch member is installed on the touch member. The switch member includes a first magnetic element. The adjusting element is accommodated within an adjusting hole of the fixing frame. The adjusting element includes a second magnetic element corresponding to the first magnetic element. Moreover, like poles of the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element face each other. Consequently, a travelling distance of the touch member is adjusted according to a repulsive force between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element.
