Abstract
The present invention relates to a mouse device having a tilt wheel encoding mechanism. The tilt wheel encoding mechanism includes a scroll wheel, a wheel carrier and a multi-direction switch unit. The scroll wheel is operable by a user. The wheel carrier has a receptacle for receiving the scroll wheel therein such that the scroll wheel is rotatable in the receptacle. By using the multi-direction switch unit to generate plural triggering signals, this encoding mechanism is simplified.
