Abstract
There is provided an optical mini-mouse including a mouse case and a navigation module. The mouse case includes a valley and a flat region arranged along a length direction and the valley extends along a width direction. When the mouse case is rotated about the valley, the navigation module is configured to detect a rotation.
Claims20
An optical mini-mouse, for being operated on a work surface, the optical mini-mouse comprising:
- a mouse case comprising an operating region and an accommodation space arranged along a length direction;
- a navigation module disposed inside the accommodation space and comprising a plurality of image sensors respectively configured to detect a rotation direction of the optical mini-mouse with respect to the work surface and identify a rotation mode according to the rotation directions detected by different image sensors;
- and
- a finger detection module configured to detect at least one of a click event and a slide event in the operating region.
