## Abstract

A mouse device includes a housing, a switch, a button, and a biasing member. The housing has an accommodating space therein. The switch is disposed in the accommodating space. The button covers the housing and includes a pivotal portion and a trigger portion. The pivotal portion is pivotally connected to the housing. The trigger portion extends into the accommodating space. The biasing member is located between the pivotal portion and the trigger portion and forwardly exerts force to the button in a forward-backward axial direction of the mouse device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mouse device, comprising:
a housing having an accommodating space therein;
a switch disposed in the accommodating space;
a button covering the housing and comprising a pivotal portion, a trigger portion, and an extending portion, the pivotal portion being pivotally connected to the housing, the trigger portion extending into the accommodating space;
a biasing member located between the pivotal portion and the trigger portion and forwardly exerting a force to the button in a forward-backward axial direction of the mouse device; and
an abutting structure connected to the extending portion, wherein the biasing member is abutted between the abutting structure and the housing.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The mouse device of claim 1, wherein the abutting structure is movably engaged with the extending portion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The mouse device of claim 2, wherein the extending portion is a screw, the abutting structure is a nut, and the biasing member is abutted between the abutting structure and the housing.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The mouse device of claim 1, wherein the biasing member is a spring sleeved onto the extending portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The mouse device of claim 1, wherein the housing comprises a retaining wall, the extending portion extends toward the retaining wall, and the biasing member is abutted between the abutting structure and the retaining wall.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The mouse device of claim 1, wherein the abutting structure forms a part of an outer surface of the button.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The mouse device of claim 1, wherein the housing has a through hole, the button further comprises a pillar, and the pillar extends into the accommodating space via the through hole.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The mouse device of claim 7, wherein the housing further has two guiding walls protruding into the accommodating space and connected to opposite sides of the through hole, respectively.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The mouse device of claim 1, wherein an outer surface of the housing is partially recessed toward the accommodating space to form a recessed portion, the housing further has a pivotal hole located in the recessed portion, and the pivotal portion is pivotally connected to the pivotal hole in the recessed portion.
