Abstract
An illuminating computer input device includes a base, a housing and a light source mounted inside the housing, wherein the housing is transparent or translucent. An covering layer is applied on an outer surface or an inner surface of the housing. A patterned-window is further formed in the covering layer by removing a portion of the covering layer from the housing. By such arrangement, light generated by the light source is able to transmit out of the housing via the patterned-window so as to create an illuminating effect.
