The invention provides a flying shuttle mouse and an input method. The flying shuttle mouse comprises a base, an upper cover, a photoelectric sensor, a key switch and a communication module, can detect the rotating action acting on the upper cover through the photoelectric sensor, produces a corresponding rotary signal according to the position change before and after rotation of the upper cover, detects a pressing action acting on the upper cover through the key switch, sends a rotating signal, a first pressing signal and a second pressing signal to a computer through the communication module according to the corresponding first pressing signal or the corresponding second pressing signal produced based on different pressing durations, utilizes the first pressing signal to control the computer to call out a preset control menu, utilizes the rotating signal to control the computer to switch operation options of the control menu, and utilizes the second pressing signal to select the operation options in the control menu. The design efficiency of computer aided design can be improved, and user experience can be improved.
