具有轨迹球的输入装置

本发明提供了具有轨迹球的输入装置。某些实施方式包括计算机鼠标，该计算机鼠标包括：壳体，该壳体具有底表面；以及轨迹球，该轨迹球设置在壳体中，其中，壳体的底表面包括第一平面区域、第二平面区域和脊状部，该脊状部为第一平面区域和第二平面区域所共有的且将第一平面区域与第二平面区域分开。第一平面区域和第二平面区域可以位于不同的平面上，其中，计算机鼠标配置成在操作时搁置在工作表面上，当计算机鼠标配置成使得底表面的第一平面区域平行于工作表面时，计算机鼠标以相对于工作表面成第一角度的方式倾斜，并且当计算机鼠标配置成使得底表面的第二平面区域平行于工作表面时，计算机鼠标以相对于工作表面成第二角度的方式倾斜。 Certain embodiments include a computer mouse including a housing having a bottom surface and a trackball disposed in the housing, where the bottom surface of the housing includes a first planar region, a second planar region, and a spine both common to and dividing the first and second planar regions. The first and second planar regions can be on different planes, where, when in operation, the computer mouse is configured to rest on a work surface, when the computer mouse is configured such that the first planar region of the bottom surface is parallel to the work surface, the computer mouse is tilted at a first angle relative to the work surface, and when the computer mouse is configured such that the second planar r
