Mouse
Mouse is the another input device used in computer.Mouse is a device that controls the movement of the cursor or pointer on a display screen.
A mouse is a small object you can roll along a hard, flat surface.
Its name is derived from its shape, which looks a bit like a mouse,
its connecting wire that one can imagine to be the mouse's tail,
and the fact that one must make it scurry along a surface.
As you move the mouse, the pointer on the display screen moves in the same direction.
Mouse contain at least one button and sometimes as many as three,
which have different functions depending on what program is running.
Some newer mouse also include a scroll wheel for scrolling through long documents.
There are three basic types of mouse:
1.mechanical: Has a rubber or metal ball on its underside that can roll in all directions. Mechanical sensors within the mouse detect the direction the ball is rolling and move the screen pointer accordingly.
2.optomechanical: Same as a mechanical mouse, but uses optical sensors to detect motion of the ball.
3.optical: Uses a laser to detect the mouse's movement. You must move the mouse along a special mat with a grid so that the optical mechanism has a frame of reference. Optical mice have no mechanical moving parts. They respond more quickly and precisely than mechanical and optomechanical mice, but they are also more expensive.
