1. THE COMPUTER MOUSE
By Will Miller and Harrison Graves

2. INTRODUCTION
This report is about the computer
mouse. In the report, we will talk
about the history of the mouse,
the many different types of mice,
and their functions.

3. The computer
mouse helps us to
use a computer or
a laptop. It comes
in many different
shapes and sizes.

4. The first computer
mouse was invented
in 1963 or 1964 by a
man named Douglas
C. Engelbart. It was
so old that it was just
a wooden box with a
little red button.

5. The
present
computer
mouse
can take
about
1,500 tiny
pictures
every
second.
This fact
is based
on the
optical

6. What Types Of
Computer Mice are
There?

7. There are
many types
of computer
mice. Let’s
start with the
mechanical
mouse.

8. The mechanical
mouse is a computer
mouse that contains a
metal or rubber ball
under it. When the
ball is rolled in any
direction, sensors
inside the mouse
detect this motion and
move the mouse
pointer in the same
direction.

9. The optical mouse
is an advanced
computer mouse
that uses light-
emitting diode
(LED), an optical
sensor, and
digital signal
processing (DSP) in
place of the
traditional mouse
ball.

10. A laser mouse is a type of
optical mouse that uses
light to detect movement.
Like all optical mice, the
laser mouse has no
moving parts inside. Laser
is more accurate than the
standard optical mouse
design.

11. The wireless mouse
sends an
electromagnetic (radio)
signal that encodes the
information about the
mouse's movements
and the buttons you
click. The receiver,
which is connected to
your computer, accepts
the signal, decodes it
and passes it on to the
mouse driver software
and your computer's

12. Controls Cursor—
The mouse is
designed to control
the movement of the
cursor, or pointer, on
the computer screen.
It allows movement
along a surface to
help move that
pointer.

We hope you learned some facts
about the computer mouse. Now,
you should know all about the
computer mouse.
