Abstract
A foldable computer mouse including a mouse body, a sensor and an extension part is disclosed. The bottom of the mouse body includes a receiving space and a contact surface, and the sensor is disposed on the contact surface of the bottom of the mouse body. The extension part is pivotally connected to one side of the mouse body and adjacent to the receiving space. When the extension part rotates outwards to a predetermined location, the contact surface between the foldable computer mouse and users is increased. Yet when the extension part rotates inwards to the inside of the receiving space, the size of the foldable computer mouse is reduced for easy storage. When the extension part rotates outwards to the predetermined location, users can operate the foldable computer mouse, and when the extension part rotates inside the receiving space, users can operate the foldable computer mouse as well.
