Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute, now SRI INternational, is credited for inventing first device that we would call a mouse in the 1960s. There were trackballs used as pointing devices in use as early as the 1940s. The first computer with a mouse was probably the Xerox Alto from 1973. The Xerox 8010 Star Information System was the first PC with a mouse used for navigation. It came out in 1981. Steve Jobs saw the 8010 at PARC and that event helped to shape the Mac.
