An electroluminescent keyboard includes a plurality of membrane switch structures, a plurality of keycaps, a plurality of electroluminescent elastic members, and an electrode layer. The electroluminescent elastic members are arranged between the keycaps and respective membrane switch structures for emitting light in response to an electric current or an electric field. The electrode layer is arranged between the electroluminescent elastic members and respective membrane switch structures and electrically connected to respective electroluminescent elastic members. The electroluminescent elastic members emit light when the electric current passes through the electrode layer or the strong electric field is applied to the electrode layer. The light-emitting element and the backlight module that are used in the conventional keyboard are not included in the electroluminescent keyboard. In addition, the light could be effectively controlled to be guided to a desired luminous region of the keycap. As a consequence, the illuminated keyboard is very cost-effective.

A dual mode input device, e.g. an optical mouse, is capable of performing data input function by moving the input device. Alternatively, the dual mode input device can also be an optical trackball. By turning the dual mode input device upside down, a trackball can be mounted to or exposed from the bottom surface to perform data input function by manipulating the trackball so that no movement of the input device is required.

Dual mode input device

A mouse device includes a mouse main body, a roller, a rolling shaft and a switching mechanism. The roller is disposed within the mouse main body and partially protruded from the mouse main body. The rolling shaft is sheathed by the roller and has plural saw-toothed structures on the periphery thereof. The witching mechanism includes a metallic piece stand a first resilient element, a metallic piece, an indentation, a push rod and a fixing hook. By means of the switching mechanism, the mouse device is operated in a clicking-feel-imparting mode or a clicking-feel-lacking mode.

A succession Chinese character input method comprising the steps of: (a) inputting a Chinese character, and(b) fetching succession Chinese characters relative to the inputted Chinese character from a database of vocabulary of common succession Chinese characters and/or a database of vocabulary of self-edited succession Chinese characters, (c) and/or displaying fetched succession Chinese characters on a display screen, (d) selecting the desired succession Chinese character from the display screen for input. The database of vocabulary of common succession Chinese characters is prepared by collecting common succession Chinese characters subject to the characteristic that there is a successive relationship between every two concatenate Chinese characters in a Chinese sentence. The database of vocabulary of self-edited succession Chinese characters is prepared by collecting the inputted succession Chinese character which is automatically stored in the database of vocabulary of self-edited succession Chinese characters for further selection. So as to increase the chance of inputting the Chinese characters by selecting Chinese characters from the display screen directly and to achieve a simple, convenient and fast input effect.
