1. An electronic device with movable foot pad, comprising:
a body with a bottom surface;
a foot pad module, disposed on the bottom surface and used to support the body, wherein the foot pad module comprises:
a first foot pad, fixed to the body;
at least one second foot pad; and
at least one rotating shaft, connecting the first foot pad and the second foot pad, wherein the second foot pad is rotated relative to the first foot pad through the rotating shaft, so that the foot pad module is switched between a first state and a second state, and an axial direction of the rotating shaft is inclined relative to the bottom surface, wherein
in the first state, the body is supported on a platform by the first foot pad and the second foot pad,
in the second state, the second foot pad is rotated 180 degrees relative to the first foot pad in the axial direction and protrudes from the first foot pad, so that the body is supported on the platform by the second foot pad.
