A mouse and a touchpad are both input devices used to interact with a computer. A mouse typically consists of a handheld device that moves a cursor on the screen through physical movement, often featuring buttons for clicking. In contrast, a touchpad is a built-in surface on laptops that detects finger movements and gestures, allowing users to control the cursor by sliding their fingers across it. Both devices facilitate navigation and interaction with graphical user interfaces.
