Abstract
A touch input device with a button function is provided. The touch input device includes a touch module, a triggering switch, a coupling module, and plural movable pads. The plural movable pads are disposed on the coupling module. The coupling module is disposed on the touch module. In addition, the coupling module may be swung relative to the touch module. When the touch module is depressed, the coupling module is pushed by the plural movable pads. Consequently, the coupling module is swung to push the triggering switch that is disposed over the coupling module. Since the plural movable pads are directly disposed on the coupling module, the force to push the triggering switch is directly transmitted from the plural movable pads to the coupling module. Under this circumstance, the touch input device can provide an enhanced tactile feel to the user.
