MOUSE "Computer Mouse"Learn

MOUSE 

It  is  an  input  device  used  to  control  the  position  of  the  cursor  and moves  it  around  the
screen. It is a “point and draw” input device. 

“A Mouse is a point and draw type of
standard input device that rolls
around on a flat surface and controls
the pointer”

The mouse is mainly used in the GUI (graphical user interface) environments. Mouse has a
right  and  left  buttons  in  common.  Many  recent mice  have  a  scroll  wheel  as  the middle
button. There  are  new mice  that  don't  have  a  ball  at  all.  They  use  a  laser  to  sense  the
motion of the mouse instead.
