Mouse
-
A
device that controls the movement of the
cursor or pointer on a display screen.
-
the movement of the mouse over a flat surface is mirrored
by a pointer on the monitor screen. Under the mouse is a ball which
rolls and turns two shafts, one for each direction - left/right &
up/down.
-
Buttons on the mouse enable selections to be made from
menus, movement of objects around the screen, and painting or drawing.
-
in your computing life, you reach out for your mouse
whenever you want to move your cursor or activate something. Your
mouse senses your motion and your clicks and sends them to the
computer so it can respond appropriately.
-
Mouse contain at least one
button and sometimes as many as three, which have different functions
depending on what program is running. Some newer mice also include a
scroll wheel for scrolling through long documents.
