The rotating cap defines a receiving groove facing the base, and the rotating shaft extends into the receiving groove and is connected to the rotating cap. The rotating cap is configured to rotate to transmit user touches in a bounded circular area, at least one conductive touch head is located on the rotating cap and in the receiving groove, and moves as the rotating cap moves.
