Abstract

The embodiments of the present invention disclose a rolling type input apparatus, a method for setting sensitivity thereof and electronic equipment. The method comprises: detecting a rolling direction and the rolling distance of a rolling device (1) in the rolling process of the rolling device (1) and generating corresponding interrupts; identifying the number and the direction of the interrupts; responding to the interrupts once by transmitting a moving event signal (10) for controlling a cursor (80) to move on a screen (8) when the number of the interrupts in the same direction reaches a threshold value; detecting parameters reflecting the speed and the amplitude of operations of a user for rolling the rolling device (1); and setting the threshold value according to the detected parameters. The technical solution can improve the automation degree of the rolling type input apparatus.
