Abstract
A touchpad module includes a touch member, a bracket, a piezoelectric vibration unit and an elastic element. The bracket is located under the touch member. A portion of the touch member is exposed to a first perforation of the bracket. The piezoelectric vibration unit is aligned with the first perforation of the bracket. The piezoelectric vibration unit has a first surface and a second surface, which are opposed to each other. The elastic element installed on the bracket and contacted with the second surface of the piezoelectric vibration unit. When the piezoelectric vibration unit vibrates, a first reaction force is generated between the first surface of the piezoelectric vibration unit and the portion of the touch member exposed to the first perforation, and a second reaction force is generated between the second surface of the piezoelectric vibration unit and the elastic element.
