Abstract
A touchpad press device includes a support unit having two first sides interconnecting between two second sides, and first engaging members proximate to the second sides. A touch unit with a touch switch is disposed above the support unit, and a transmission unit is disposed between the support unit and the touch unit. The transmission unit includes peripheral plates, each of which is disposed above one of the second sides and has second engaging members, and a pressing plate to trigger the touch switch. When one of the peripheral plates is pressed downward through the touch unit, the other peripheral plate turns upward so that the second engaging members thereof engage the respective first engaging members to limit the other peripheral plate from moving further upward.
