Since the volume of the slider body 21 is not large, the weight of the weight 32 is smaller, so the number of electrodes that can be disposed on the surface to be tested 321 of the weight 32 is limited, and the present invention is set in a binary manner. The binary count electrode setting area 322 will create more weight options.

Second, there is no need to fix the position of the weight:

When the weight 32 is circular, the electrode 52 to be tested is disposed on the surface 321 to be measured in a concentric circle, so that the weight 32 is disposed at the weight slot 31 at any angle. The detecting electrode 41 Both of the electrodes 24 to be tested can be electrically connected, and a fixing member is not required to fix the position of the weight 32.

Third, get the focus of the mouse:

When the control module 42 transmits the information of the weight of the weight 32 disposed in the mouse body 21 to the computer, the position of the weight 32 is confirmed by using other sensing systems in the mouse body 21, Further, according to the model of the mouse body 21 stored in the computer, the program can calculate the weight status and the center of gravity state of the mouse body 21.

The central region 323 defines the central electrode 51. The measured electrode 52 cooperates with the weight. The weight of the block 32 is set to the complex binary counting electrode in a binary count In the 322, the control module 42 obtains the number and position of the test electrodes 52 by the complex detection electrode 41, and obtains the value of the binary count represented by the test electrode 52, and compares the weight. The weight of the weight 32 can be obtained by the information. Finally, the control module 42 transmits the weight of the weight 32 to the computer, so that the operator can know the center of gravity and the weight information of the mouse device used. The object of the invention can be achieved.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
