An ergonomic mouse has a sliding cap matching the curvature of a normal human palm. The sliding cap may be slid on the top of a hollow body to reach a desired operation position, then fine-tuned and anchored. Thus when the mouse is moved during operation, it can absorb reaction forces to avoid hurting the user's wrist and better meet ergonomic requirements.

What is claimed is: 1. An ergonomic mouse, comprising: a hollow body having a first port and a trough on the top and a housing section in the interior; and a sliding cap having a cap body, an axle and an elastic anchor member, the cap body having a boss running through the first port to pivotally couple the cap body on the top of the hollow body, the axle having two ends located respectively in the cap body and the housing section to allow the cap body to turn about the axle, the elastic anchor member corresponding to the trough for anchoring the cap body on the hollow body; wherein the hollow body includes: a first shell which has the first port formed thereon; a retaining member coupled to the interior of first shell having a retaining trough corresponding to the axle; and a second shell coupled with the first shell having a housing trough corresponding to the retaining trough, the housing trough and the retaining trough jointly forming the housing section; and wherein the second shell includes a plurality of housing members each having an arched notch to form the housing trough. 2. The ergonomic mouse of claim 1, wherein the cap body has a button, the first shell having a second port corresponding to the button. 3. The ergonomic mouse of claim 2, wherein the cap body has a deck corresponding to the button and has a coupling strut running through an aperture of a circuit board for holding the circuit board on the deck to allow the button to depress a switch located on the circuit board, the second port being formed to a size that allows the deck to be moved relative to the hollow body to a selected angle. 4. The ergonomic mouse of claim 1, wherein the boss has a coupling cavity to couple with the axle and has a fourth screw hole formed in the coupling cavity, the retaining member having an opening corresponding to the first port to allow the axle to run through, the axle having a fifth screw hole corresponding to the fourth screw hole to receive a fastening element to run through the fifth screw hole and the fourth screw hole sequentially to couple the cap body to the axle. 5. The ergonomic mouse of claim 1, wherein the axle has an axle ball on one end surrounded by the housing section to allow the cap body to turn about the axle. 6. The ergonomic mouse of claim 1, wherein the first shell has a first screw hole, the retaining member having a second screw hole corresponding to the first screw hole to receive a fastening element to run though the second screw hole and the first screw hole sequentially to couple the first shell with the retaining member. 7. The ergonomic mouse of claim 1, wherein the first shell has a first screw hole, the second shell having a third screw hole corresponding to the first screw hole to receive a fastening element to run though the third screw hole and the first screw hole sequentially to couple the first shell with the second shell. 8. The ergonomic mouse of claim 1, wherein the first shell has a first screw hole, the retaining member having a second screw hole corresponding to the first screw hole, the second shell having a third screw hole corresponding to the first screw hole to receive a fastening element to run though the third screw hole, the second screw hole and the first screw hole sequentially to couple the first shell, the retaining member and the second shell together. 9. The ergonomic mouse of claim 1, further having two stub shafts pivotally coupled to the top of the hollow body and two opposite sides of the sliding cap. 10. The ergonomic mouse of claim 9, wherein the two stub shafts are pivotally coupled to the top of the hollow body and a front side and a rear side of the sliding cap. 11. The ergonomic mouse of claim 10, wherein the trough and the elastic anchor member are located on the front side and the rear side of the hollow body and the sliding cap. 12. The ergonomic mouse of claim 9, wherein the two stub shafts are pivotally coupled to the top of the hollow body and a left side and a right side of the sliding cap. 13. The ergonomic mouse of claim 12, wherein the trough and the elastic anchor member are located on the left side and the right side of the hollow body and the sliding cap. 14. The ergonomic mouse of claim 9, wherein the two stub shafts are pivotally coupled to the top of the hollow body and a front side and a rear side of the sliding cap, the hollow body having a sliding track on the top to allow the stub shafts to move forwards and backwards along the sliding track. 15. The ergonomic mouse of claim 14, wherein the trough and the elastic anchor member are located on the front side, the rear side, a left side and a right side of the hollow body and the sliding cap. 16. The ergonomic mouse of claim 9, wherein the two stub shafts are pivotally coupled to the top of the hollow body and a left side and a right side of the sliding cap, the hollow body having a sliding track on the top to allow the stub shafts to move leftwards and rightwards along the sliding track. 17.
