Abstract
A wired/wireless chargeable mouse, within which is configured a coil winding mechanism that is used to rewind a connecting wire and a connector into the mouse. When using the mouse in wired mode, a charging circuit of a circuit board charges a battery within the mouse using electric power transmitted from a host computer through the connector and the connecting wire. Furthermore, light-emitting diodes of the circuit board produce different luminescent displays corresponding to different states of the mouse.
