Abstract
An axle dock for generating clicking sense for a mouse roller is coupled with a roller axle. The axle dock has an elastic element corresponding to concave surfaces and convex surfaces formed on an inner wall of the roller. The axle dock has a seat which has a mounting section facing the concave surfaces and the convex surfaces. The elastic element is mounted on the mounting section. The mounting section has retain zones for anchoring the ends of the elastic element and a passing zone to allow a force receiving section of the elastic element to pass through and expose and press the concave surfaces and the convex surfaces. When the roller rotates, the concave surfaces and the convex surfaces slide and press alternately the force receiving section to generate a clicking sense to user's hand. The elastic element makes assembly easier.
