The various kinds of computer mice are:

Mechanical - These mice have a ball under them which sense movements, and it turns wheels inside which operate switches. These have been obsolete for some time.

Optomechanical - These mice use a ball to turn slotted wheels inside which pass through photocells. They require a mouse pad to be able to move, and are more reliable than the purely mechanical mice.

Optical - These mice use a laser LED and a camera chip inside and does not require a mouse pad to be able to move

Wireless - These are optomechanical or optical mice that use infrared beams or radio waves to work without using a cord between it and the PC. They operate off of batteries and sometimes come with a docking station for charging them.
