A function parameter switching memory circuit for a peripheral device is provided. The peripheral device includes a function parameter switching memory circuit, a power management device and an optical sensor. The function parameter switching memory circuit includes a function parameter switching key and a simulation control circuit. The function parameter switching key generates and outputs a physical switch signal in response to a switching trigger action of a user. The simulation control circuit generates a virtual switch signal to the optical sensor. The simulation control circuit analyzes the physical switch signal to memorize a switched-and-set function parameter storage value. The simulation control circuit generates the virtual switch signal according to one of the physical switch signal and the switched-and-set function parameter storage value. The optical sensor performs a function parameter switching process according to the virtual switch signal.

Function parameter switching memory circuit for peripheral device and operating method thereof

A mouse device includes a casing, a scroll wheel, a circuit board, an encoder and a microprocessor. The scroll wheel is partially exposed outside the casing. The circuit board is disposed within the casing. The encoder is disposed within the casing. The encoder issues an encoded signal to the circuit board in response to a rotation of the scroll wheel. The microprocessor is electrically connected with the circuit board, and acquires a rotating time period corresponding to one-unit rotation amount of the scroll wheel. If the rotating time period is shorter than a predetermined time period, the microprocessor generates a first control command. If the rotating time period is longer than or equal to the predetermined time, the microprocessor generates a second control command.
