The ball inside older mice - was either solid rubber - or a steel ball with a rubber coating.
Tracker Ball: A Trackerball is an Input Device.A tracker ball is a pointing device; it is a mouse lying on its back. To move the pointer, you rotate the ball with your thumb, your fingers, or the palm of your hand. There are usually one to three buttons next to the ball, which you use just like mouse buttons.
Different CPUs communicate in different ways. Intel processors (Pentiums, Core2, etc) communicate to the chipset using the Front Side Bus. AMD processors communicate to the chipset using Hyper Transport.
Track Ball Mouse
Computer modeling means by using a computer to model a situation such as, a computer simulation of a ball bouncing on thin water. By programming a computer to manipulate objects, and play with the figures to see what happens, that is called computer modeling.
The advantage of the E-ball computer technology is that it is portable and it has a large memory. The disadvantage is that the cost of the E-ball is very high and the normal operating systems cannot work in these computers.
This won't answer your question, it is a suggestion. Have you considered using a track ball? Have you considered shutting the hell up!
The laser or ball on the bottom.
Well the mouse sends the movements of it to the computer. A mouse with a mouse-ball has rollers inside of it that move with the ball and from there can operate similar to a keyboard. An optical or 'laser' mouse is much more advanced.
In computing, a track ball is a pointing device, such as the one seen at the bottom of a computer mouse. They work by using sensors to detect the direction in which the user is moving it.
If the ball is on the bottom, it's a "roller ball." If it's on the top and meant to be touched, it's a "trackball."
A Ball Bearing
A "ball mouse" or mechanical mouse is a computer mouse which detects user inputs using a system of servos detecting the movements of a ball (inside the mouse) which rolls on the desk surface. The most common alternative, the "optical mouse" uses optical sensors to detect user inputs. The optical mouse is widely considered to be superior in all important respects, and is therefore becoming much more common then their mechanical cousins.
if the mouse has a tracking ball under it, flip it over and turn the plate that holds the ball to the right(clockwise), remove the ball and using a pencil eraser or a toothpick remove the gunk on the tracking wheels inside of the mouse, make sure to shake or blow out all of the debris and put together. if that doesn't work buy a new mouse
it is a ball or sometime a laser thingy
They both do the same job. And on an older mouse it's easy to see the similarities. An older computer mouse would have a ball underneath. Then as you moved the mouse around the ball would roll and the computer would count the rotations. A track ball was basically a mouse turned upside down. Instead of moving the mouse to rotate the ball, you'd move the ball directly with your fingers instead.

The ball inside older mice - was made of a solid steel ball coated in a thick layer of rubber.
