20120068929 | FIXED MOUSE - Disclosed herein is a fixed mouse. The fixed mouse includes a housing which has an insert depression, a movable body, a portion or the entirety of which is inserted into the insert depression, a direction sensing means which detects a direction in which an external force is applied to the movable body and generates a signal used to move a pointer in a corresponding direction, and speed sensing means which detects the intensity of the external force applied to the movable body and generates a signal to vary the speed of the pointer in response to the intensity of the external force. As such, the direction sensing means for moving the pointer and the speed sensing means for controlling the speed of the pointer are independently provided. Therefore, the production, maintenance and repair of the direction sensing means and the speed sensing means can be facilitated. Furthermore, the degree of design freedom for layout of a product is increased. Moreover, the fixed mouse may be configured such that a user selectively uses the function of controlling the speed of the pointer, thus making it convenient for the user. | 03-22-2012 |
