ABSTRACT:
A foldable input apparatus for inputting data to an electronic device is provided. The foldable input apparatus includes a connection part, a first input part, a second input part, a first housing and a second housing. The connection part includes a first pivot, a second pivot, a third pivot and a fourth pivot. The first housing pivotally connects to the first pivot, and the second housing pivotally connects to the third pivot. The first input part pivotally connects to the second pivot, and the second input part pivotally connects to the fourth pivot. The first input part and the first housing rotate with respect to different pivots, and so do the second input part and the second housing. Therefore, when the first input part, the first housing, the second input part and the second housing rotate with respect to the connection part, a relative position of the first input part and the first housing as well as that of the second input part and the second housing are correspondingly changed.
