Are computer mice compatible with any computer?

No. Different interfaces have been used to connect different mice to different computers.

The earliest mice used their own proprietary adapter. These are known as "bus mice".

The Apple II GS and later Macs used the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB)

After the bus mice, IBM-compatible computers commonly began using serial mice.

The IBM PS/2 series and clones then began using a dedicated port, known as a PS/2 connector.

Intel released USB (Universal Serial Bus) in 1996.

A mouse that fits any of these interfaces should work on any computer with that interface. But you can't connect a USB mouse to an Apple II GS, or an ADB mouse to a PC.

What is the difference between a single mouse click and a double mouse click?

A single click on an Apple Macintosh computer consists of one up and down motion on a mouse. A double-click would consist of two consecutive single clicks with no or very little time between the clicks. (It is important to note that the speed of the "double-click" can be adjusted as long as a mouse is connected to the computer.)

Also, usually, a single click selects an object or icon. A double-click usually opens or launches an application or document. (This is the case when your computer is in the "Finder." You can tell you are in the "Finder" when you see the word next to the Apple icon in top left corner of your monitor/screen.)

All this can become confusing due to some "directions" telling the user to "click and hold." The "click and hold" means to move the mouse arrow over the object, click down on the mouse but do not finish "clicking" by letting go for the up motion of a full click, it is essentially a "half-click." This action usually causes the mouse arrow to "grab" or "hold" the object or icon.

What are advantages and disadvantages of Mice?

Should you use a mouse pad with a optical mouse?

It depends. Primarily, it depends on what your desk is made of. Optical mice won't work at all on my (glossy, smooth, monochrome) desk, for example. Glass is particularly bad, usually. It also depends on the mouse - some of the newer ones have new technology being built into them that work on more surfaces. It also depends on what you are doing with it. If you want/need higher precision, smoother glide (or better grip), less mouse wear, and/or more comfort when using your mouse, you'll want a mousepad of some kind.

What is the difference between computer monitor and television monitor?

You can, but I'd suggest that it's used only for short runs, maybe up to 6 feet, max. The picture quality will probably suffer due to internal signal reflections, causing ghosting of the image or ssome smearing of the video, but it'll work.

How do you clean a roller ball mouse?

Start by removing the ball. On most mice (mouses?) there is a cover on the bottom that can be removed by twisting it counter-clockwise. There may be other designs, but they are mostly self-explanatory.

After removing the ball, blow out any accumulated dust with compressed dust remover or just a sharp breath.

Inspect the rollers inside the mouse. There are three: two thin sticks set at right angles, and a third "idler" wheel at an angle. These will usually have a small line of crud on them. Remove this by scraping gently with an nail file, paper clip, or other sharp tool. Rotate them around to make sure that they are clean on all sides.

The mouse ball itself should look clean and feel slightly tacky. If it has a varnished or dirty appearance, it needs to be cleaned. To clean the ball, use two drops of solvent cleaner (such as Goo-Gone or Goof-Off). Then use water and dishwashing soap to remove the solvent. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reassembling the mouse.

The exterior of the mouse can be cleaned with a damp scrubbing sponge (do not let water into the mouse body). It should then be disinfected with a disinfecting wipe.

Take a moment to clean the mouse pad as well; this is where all the dust and dead skin cells are coming from.

Why do you need mouse pads?

The mouse pad is useful for both the trackball mouse and the optical mouse. When a trackball mouse is used, the mouse pad is a good surface for the ball to catch and roll on. When an optical mouse is used, the mouse pad provides a good non-reflective surface.

Custom Mouse Pad - How do they make them?

They print off an image onto a piece of heat transfer paper then apply that image to the mouse pad using both pressure and heat for a short period of time. Then they peel the transfer paper off and the image is left onto the mouse pad. Theres also a sublimation technique that's very similar except they use special ink that transfers over to the mouse pad without the need for the transfer paper.

The mouse wheel is the scroll wheel. Rather than press the arrows on the scroll bar on your screen, mash the wheel and a directional arrow will appear on the screen. you can control the direction and speed of scrolling with that set of arrows. If you prefer to just scroll down, spin the wheel while the cursor is on the page and the page will scroll up or down depending on how you spin that wheel.

Is a mouse a parallel port and serial port?

New mice are neither serial or parallel, they are PS/2...

So, if you look at the back of the computer it has a different socket than serial or parallel.

Only older mice was serial or parallel.

How do you right click on a mac?

By default pressing the Control (ctrl) key while clicking will be recognised as a right click.

Out of the box, you can also double tap in order to right click. However, this can get very difficult to get used to if you're switching over from a Mac. The easiest way to right click is to go into System Preferences-Trackpad/Mouse and under the One Finger, toggle "secondary click." Make sure it is set to the bottom right corner, and then it will be just like on Windows.

What to do when your mouse doesnt work?

Both GIF and JPG file types are used primarily for images. Each type provides a different set of benefits and deficits. The file's intended purpose will dictate which type you should use.

History

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) file type was developed by Unisys in 1987 and has been a standard image format since then. JPG, also referred to as JPEG, files emerged in 1994 as an image format developed by the Joint Photograph Experts Group.

Benefits

GIF is ideal for simple, solid images such as lettering, line drawings and icons. GIF file size is smaller than JPEG, and this format supports animation and transparency. JPG is a default setting for most digital cameras. JPG files support 16 million colors and are ideal for images that contain blended colors and gradients.

Deficits

GIF files, with a maximum of 256 colors, have limited color variation. JPEG file size is proportionally very large.

Considerations

Because the size for these two types of graphics files is so different, this factor could dictate whether you use a GIF or a JPG file. A 500-kilobyte GIF file will not appear as clear and crisp as the same image in a 500-kilobyte JPG format.

Needs

If you are creating a basic line drawing or animation, the GIF file format will work well. For photographs and multicolor graphics, the JPG format is a better choice.
