1. Technical Field
The disclosure relates to a mouse, and more particularly to a mouse having a shape of a hand.
2. Description of Related Art
When a user manipulates a mouse, a wrist joint of a hand rests on a table surface the whole time, and fingers operate a left-click button, a right-click button, and a scroll wheel of the mouse. However, it is very uncomfortable for the user to operate the mouse in that position for a long time.
Therefore, what is needed is a mouse to overcome the described shortcomings.

As shown in
When the upper cover 10 is engaged with the bottom cover 20, the opening 2 and the receiving space 7 are defined between them. The receiving space 7 receives the hand. The receiving space 7 defines four finger-shaped receiving portions 3, 4, 5, and 6, and defines a palm-shaped receiving portion 8. When the hand is received in the receiving space 7, the thumb is received in the first receiving portion 3, the index finger is received in the second receiving portion 4, the middle finger is received in the third receiving portion 5, and both the ring finger and the pinky finger are received in the fourth receiving portion 6.
The bottom cover 20 has a wheel 21 in the first receiving portion 3, has a first key 22 in the second receiving portion 4, and has a second key 23 in the third receiving portion 5. The bottom cover 20 also defines a recess 24 in the receiving portion 8. The wheel 21 is on the left of the first key 22 and the second key 23. The recess 24 is adjacent to the opening 2. Each of the first key 22 and the second key 23 includes a spring clip and a contact board attached to the spring clip. A first contact board 220 is under a first spring clip 210 of the first key 22, and a second contact board 230 is under a second spring clip 240 of the second key 23. In an original state, the wheel 21, the first key 22, and the second key 23 are not electronically connected to the circuit board. When the wheel 21, the first key 22, and/or the second key 23 are operated by the hand, the wheel 21, the first contact 220, and/or the second contact 230 respectively establish an electronic connection with the circuit board in the bottom cover 20. The wheel 21, the first key 22, and the second key 23 serve as a scroll wheel, a left-click button, and a right-click button respectively of a conventional mouse.
An angle of about thirty degrees is formed between the wheel 21 and a line parallel to the opening 2. Therefore, when the thumb operates the wheel 21 in the first receiving portion 3, the thumb is in a comfortable position. When the wheel 21 is rotated by the thumb, the electronic device moves the display interface up or down accordingly.
When the user does not press the first key 22 and the second key 23, both the contact boards 220 and 230 do not contact the circuit board. When the user presses the first key 22, the contact board 220 contacts the circuit board to establish an electronic connection, and the electronic device performs a corresponding function in response to pressure on the first key 22, such as selecting an object. When the user presses the second key 23, the contact board 230 contacts the circuit board to establish an electronic connection, and the electronic device performs a corresponding function in response to pressure on the second key 23, such as opening a menu.
The recess 24 has a shape of a wrist joint. A depth of the recess 24 is about 9 mm. Therefore, when the user manipulates the mouse 1, the hand is in a comfortable position in the receiving space 7.
Although the present disclosure has been specifically described on the basis of the exemplary embodiment thereof, the disclosure is not to be construed as being limited thereto. Various changes or modifications may be made to the embodiment without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure.
