Is the most commonly used pointing device for personal computers?
Most laptops already have an alternative for a mouse. Some have a mouse pad or touchpad area. Moving a finger around in the touchpad works the same as moving a mouse. Others have a pointing stick in the keyboard, usually between the G H and B keys. It works like a little joy stick. There will also be some buttons below them that work as mouse buttons. Some alternatives to a mouse include a joy stick and a trackball. A trackball is like an upside down mouse where a ball is moved around by the hand. Some laptops also have touch sensitive screens (like an ipad or android) removing the need for a separate pointing device.
