The external terminal module20is connected to the audio signal sampling module17and the first input terminal13.1of the controller13respectively. The controller13blocks a signal input of the microphone signal sampling module19through detecting a signal of the external terminal module20. The controller13blocks a signal input of the microphone signal sampling module19when detecting a signal of the external terminal module20. At this time, the controller13detects the signal input of the audio signal sampling module17and/or the signal input of the vibration sensing sampling module18, and controls the light-emitting device according to the signal input. In practical applications, the priority levels of the signal input of the audio signal sampling module17and the signal input of the vibration sensing sampling module18can be set in the programming of the controller13according to requirements. The controller13can control the light-emitting device according to the priority levels of signal input. When the signal input of the priority level is not detected, the light-emitting device is controlled according to the next received signal input. When the controller13does not detect the signal of the external terminal module20, the controller13may control the light-emitting device according to the signal input of the detected microphone signal sampling module19. In this way, the signal input mode may be switched, so that the e-sports players may select different signal input modes according to their preferences or needs to control the table top to emit light.

In this embodiment, the present disclosure set the signal input of the audio signal sampling module17as a priority signal through programming. When the controller13detects the signal of the external terminal module20, the signal input of the microphone signal sampling module19is blocked.
