Tracker Ball. This device is very similar to a mouse itself in terms of the functions that it performs but there is a difference in the physical appearance. An advantage of the tracker ball is that a finger or the palm of the hand is used to roll the ball in any direction so there is an ease of use in comparison to the mouse where the entire arm has to be used. There are also buttons on the tracker ball which work in the same way as a mouse. An advantage that the trackerball has over the mouse is that it can be used on any surface because the ball is on top of the mouse whereas with a normal mouse an uneven surface may hinder its performance and speed.

What are the advantages of opto mechanical mouse?
The laser of the optical mouse may bounce off certain colors and shapes on a mouse pad.There are no disadvantages to a optical mouse. The optical mouse just works better and smoother than the ball mouse, and you never have to worry about the ball getting dirty or hanging. I would suggest getting an optical mouse and throwing the ball mouse away.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a joystick?
Advantages are: its better than a mouse with a ball because the mouse with a ball requires a course surface to spin the ball. Disadvantage: is that if its for a game, you can over swing it and have a hard time hitting whatever your shooting at for instance, and they can be pretty annoying to use.

What are the advantages and disadvantages between an optical mouse and a ball mouse?
The laser of the optical mouse may bounce off certain colors and shapes on a mouse pad. * There are no disadvantages to a optical mouse. The optical mouse just works better and smoother than the ball mouse, and you never have to worry about the ball getting dirty or hanging. I would suggest getting an optical mouse and throwing the ball mouse away. For this you definitly need the opinion of someone who has to sufffer the ball mouse at least once a week. ie: School pupils. I have two IT lessons a fortnight, and at our school you have a choice between overly chunky optical mice or cheap, way too light ball mice. I end up tolerating the ball mice as I am very picky about my mice. I, personally like mice with a bit of weight on them, but the thick plastic outer of the school's optical mice is ridiculous. Generally, schools don't provide pupils with mousemats on the theory that they will be nicked/tooexpensive, so the only way to get the ball mice to operate in a friendly manner is to clean it before use, or use your science book as a substitute mousemat. The moral of this long-winded story is:
What slide the mouse around the mouse pad?
mouse ball
How do you get the ball out of the mouse?
break the mouse on the outside
What is track ball mouse?
A track ball mouse is a mouse that uses an internal ball to track movement, instead of a laser. These have been outdated by optical mice.
What is a mouse with a ball on top?
That's called a trackball. The device stays in place and you move the ball (usually) with your thumb, rather than moving a mouse which in turn moves the ball inside (or with the newer optical mouse, electronically senses the mouse motion).
Is an optical mouse better than the old ball mouse?
Generally an optical mouse provides much better function than an older ball design mouse. The lack of an internal ball to move the mouse reduces the need for cleaning and build up do to the ball itself wearing down.
What are the actions of a mouse?
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.
What is the difference between mouse and a tracker ball?
A tracker ball is both a the ball on top of a stationary mouse and a type of a mouse that has a ball on top. A typical mouse is moved over a pad and has the ball directing the cursor on the bottom, but a tracker ball type mouse has the ball on top of a stationary mouse where you direct the cursor by moving the ball with your thumb, FOREFINGER AND MAINLY WITH YOUR PALM. This type of mouse is sometimes called a tracker ball for short and the ball on this type of stationary mouse is also called a tracker ball. [ delete the following:...It is not a good name. What does it track? Nothing that I can tell. Computer terms were assigned by people who wanted to make it confusing, didn't speak English, or were very confused themselves] It would be better explained as follows. '''A tracker ball is both a the ball on top of a stationary mouse and''' [?a type of a mouse that has a ball on top]. '''A typical mouse is moved over a pad and has the ball directing the cursor on the bottom, but a tracker ball type mouse has the ball on top of a stationary mouse where you direct the cursor by moving the ball with your thumb,''' '''forefinger but mostly with the inner aspect of your palm. This type of mouse is used by people with arthritis or RSI as it saves making the fiddly and speedy movements with the digit joints (which cause some people pain) and directs the cursor by making a round movement after putting your hand over the large glass "tracker" which is on top of the "mouse". I myself was able to work as a secretary doing 100wpm until the age of 59 despite arthritic fingers since my late-40s, because an ERGONOMIC TRACKER MOUSE was recommended and purchased for me by my employers. I can highly recommend the TRACKER MOUSE to anybody - especially to those with arthritic hands and intermittent RSI.''' '''"Tracker Lover"'''
