WHAT IS MOUSE ?
• A mouse is an external computer hardware device.
• It allows a user to control the motion of a computer cursor.
• It also select objects on the screen by moving and clicking
the device.
• During the 1980’s, computer mouse became the dominant
way for people to interface with personal computers after
testing with various devices showed it to be the most
convenient and simple to use.
• The mouse works on the basic
principle that the movement of
the device is translated into the
movement of the cursor on the screen.
INVENTION OF MOUSE
The first computer mouse was publicly unveiled in 1968 by its
inventor, Douglas C. Engelbart. It was made of wood.
Mouse Physical Description
• Computer mice come in many shapes and sizes but
are all designed to fit either the left or right hand.
• The standard mouse has two buttons toward the front
(to left-click and right-click) and a scroll wheel in the
center (to quickly move the screen up and down).
HOW THE MOUSE COMES
ITS NAME ?

It just looked like a mouse with a tail, and we all called it that.”
TYPES OF MOUSE
OPTICAL MOUSE
• An optical mouse is an computer pointing device that uses a
light-emitting diode, optical sensor and digital signal
processing ( DSP ).
• This mouse doesn’t have mouse ball and electromechanical
transducer.
• Movement is detected by sensing changes in reflected light,
instead of interpreting the motion of a rolling sphere.
WIRELESS MOUSE
• The Mouse without wire or cord is called wireless mouse
or cordless mouse.
• Most wireless mouse use radiofrequency (RF) technology
to communicate information to the computer.
GSTICK MOUSE
• Gordon Stewart designed the Stick to add a more authentic and
natural feel to artistic manipulations on both Macs and PCs.
• These mouse are Wireless and pocket-sized.
• GStick mouse is like a pencil.
• It can be used for web browsing, office work or whatever you
do with your traditional mouse, with more comfort.
TRACKBALL MOUSE

• A trackball mouse is a pointing device.


• It consists of a ball held by a socket containing
sensors to detect a rotation of the ball. The user rolls
the ball with the thumb, fingers, or the palm of the
hand to move a pointer.
MECHANICAL MOUSE
OR
BALL MOUSE
• A mechanical mouse is a computer hardware input device
comprised of a metal or rubber ball in its underside.
• Moving the mouse causes the ball to roll, and sensors inside
the mouse detect the movement of the ball and consequently
send signals to the cursor on the screen.
FUNCTION OF MOUSE

• Move the mouse cursor - The primary function is to


move the mouse cursor on the screen.

use for a mouse ?
• Smart phones and tablets use a touch screen as their
primary input device, and therefore finger is the
mouse on these devices. With most tablets, we also
have the option to connect a computer mouse and
use it on the tablet.
HOW HAS THE DESIGN CHANGED?
• The computer mouse has definitely changed size getting smaller
and smaller.
• The design has also become more comfortable to hold as the first
computer mouse was quite square.
• Motion detectors have changed from a tracking ball to an LED
light and now a laser. This improves the quality of motion we see
on the screen and also eliminated the use of the mouse pads.
• A scroll wheel is also available on most mouse making it easier to
view web pages and folders.
