Abstract:
A cursor controller used for controlling displacement direction and speed of a cursor by changing equivalent resistance, the cursor controller comprising:a conductive layer; two electrode layers attached on two faces of said conductive layer respectively, wherein a plurality of electrode lines are formed on each electrode layer; one end of each electrode line is connected with a resistor, and a section without any resistor connected thereto forms a vector zone on each electrode layer, wherein the two vector zones are aligned in different orientations; an insulation portion is formed at circumference of said electrode lines or on the resistors; the electrode lines on said electrode layers being contacted with said conductive layer to effect a matrix output signal for controlling the displacement direction and speed of the cursor when an external article is applied to press against one of said electrode layers; and wherein said external article is a press body with a convex face having a positioning portion.
