What is the difference between wireless and laser mouse?

A wireless mouse sends signals to the computer through the air rather then having a cord connect the two. Laser mouses have a small laser at the bottom of it. It uses motion sensing to tell how much the mouse moves without having to use a mouse ball. Wireless and laser are independent so a mouse can neither, both, or just one of them.

How are an optical mouse an air mouse wireless mouse different?

Optical mouse works on the principle of image processing techniques while air mouse works on the principle of inertial motion sensing

What is the density of a computer mouse?

A standard, no-frills, mechanical two-button mouse (with cord) weighs between 13 and 15 ounces (370-425 grams).

Your newer optical mice are a bit lighter at between 11 and 13 ounces (310-370 grams).

The mini-mice out there (designed for laptops and confined space use) weigh in at between 9 and 11 ounces (255-310 grams).

Is a touchpad a input or a output?

A touchpad is an input device. It operates on the same principle as your mouse does, taking your movements or gestures and translating them into a form the computer can understand in order to get work done.

Which input device can advanced computer users use instead of a mouse to perform tasks such as opening new windows and saving or deleting files?

your best bet at the moment is either some kind of macro pad or hot key program like autohotkey. there isn't really much in advanced heuristics atm. otherwise it is some kind of touch or pen based input... unfortunately computer input methods/devices is an area of computer technology that has remained mostly stagnant since the creation of computers.

How do you maintain wireless mouse?

If a ball mouse:

Take out the ball every so often and clean in the hole as dust usually collects in that area.

If a Lazer or optical Mouse:

you do not really need to carry out maintanance but try to keep the mouse clean and make sure parts are clean.

What is cost of computer mouse?

It really just depends on what kind of mouse your looking for and where you purchase it at. A typical, wire mouse without laser would be about $10 or less, depending on where you got it. A wire, laser mouse would be about $15 or so, still depending on where you got it from. A good wireless usb laser mouse is about $25. Needless to say, they aren't the most expensive device for a computer.

Why a traveller user trackball instead of mouse?

What Mexican invented the mouse pad?

The mousepad was invented by a young man named Casey Lee DeMarino. Casey spent long hours researching and experimenting with different types of materials in search of the perfect texture on which to smoothly roll a computer's screen pointer device. He eventual discovered, by fortunate mishap, that a rubberized foam material surfaced with a thin nylon sheet provided optimum rolling for computing.

The birth date of this invention is unknown, but is rumored to have gained public appeal in the late 1980's.

How do you move objects using mouse during a PowerPoint slide show?

What isTrack ball mouse?

If you remember the mice used long time ago before optical mice, they used a rubber ball underneath them to track movement. Well, take that technology and imagine the mouse upside down where you only spin the ball while the mouse is stationary. A track ball is a large mounted ball fixed in position apart from its rotation ability that is designed to move the cursor like a mouse except that it is stationary.

What is the function of the right mouse key?

The left mouse button is used primarily to select objects in a graphical interface. Some computing systems allow the user to switch the mouse buttons around, particularly to allow for those who are right-handed. In such configurations, the left mouse button serves an auxiliary purpose, such as opening pop-up menus.

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?

A mouse is the best device for quickly and easily navigating the graphical user interfaces of modern operating systems. However, the mouse's cables can render it difficult to use. Mice are also difficult to clean without ruining them.
