    Abstract: A computer mouse is provided to make the mouse button easily reachable without being susceptible to misclick. The computer mouse may include an electronic circuit configured to implement operations of the computer mouse. The computer mouse may include a housing enclosing the electronic circuit. The housing may include an opening on one side of the housing and a switch on the side of the housing. The computer mouse may include a magnetically active lever attached to the housing through the opening on the side of the housing. The magnetically active lever may be configured to actuate the switch on the side of the housing to interact with the electronic circuit to provide input to a computing device. The magnetically active lever may be removable from the housing and replaced with a magnetically active lever of a different size or shape.

    Abstract: An input device may include a housing, a scroll wheel having an arresting surface, and a lever pivotable about a pivot axis between first and second lever arms of the lever. A first free end portion of the first lever arm may be configured to engage the arresting surface with an engagement force to arrest a rotation of the scroll wheel with a corresponding arresting force. The input device may further include an auxiliary wheel rotatably mounted on the housing, and a motion converter connected to the auxiliary wheel. The motion converter may be configured to apply a linear motion, converted from a rotation of the auxiliary wheel, to a second free end portion of the second lever arm so as to pivot the lever about the pivot axis to correspondingly adjust the engagement force, whereby the corresponding arresting force may be correspondingly adjustable by rotation of the auxiliary wheel.

    Abstract: A mouse for communication with a processor-based device. The mouse may include a housing having a base surface. The base surface may be configured to face a tracking surface on which the mouse may be placed on. The mouse may further include a plurality of mouse foot protrusions projecting from the base surface. A distal end of at least one of the plurality of mouse foot protrusions may be configured to contact the tracking surface on which the mouse may be placed on and the distal end may include a first color. An intermediate portion of the at least one of the plurality of mouse foot protrusions between the distal end of the at least one of the plurality of mouse foot protrusions and the base surface may include a second color, which may be different from the first color.
