How does a trackball mouse work?
A trackball is a pointing input device just like a mouse. It just gets the input from the user in a slightly different manner. Instead of moving the mouse around on a desk, the user just rolls the ball in the corresponding direction.
This is advantageous in situations where there may not be enough room for a proper mouse, and is sometimes claimed to be more comfortable for carpal-tunnel sufferers.
How do you convert serial port key board or mouse to usb port?

IMPROVED:
Please note the answer above is for converting a USB to PS2 connector, NOT USB to Serial Port.
A USB to Serial Port adapter does not, to my knowledge, exist. So please verify if you want a PS/2 (small, round connector) or Serial Port (long, flat connection with many pins)
Also, the color of the adapter may vary.

Optical Mouse
All mice have moving parts. There is no such thing as a computer mouse not having moving parts. And before you pop off (or mouth off or whatever you want to call it), the "buttons" that you use to "click" an icon or link and the scroll wheel of the mouse are moving parts. As a matter of fact, the entire mouse is a moving part. Unless it is a trackball mouse, in which case only the trackball and the buttons are the only moving parts.

What are different types of output devices?
For computers, the main output devices are the monitor, speakers and printer (or multi-function device, like printer/scanner/copier). You could also consider an external drive (hard drive, CD/DVD burner, flashdrive or thumbdrive) to be a sort of output device, although that's using the term very loosely, because they are really data storage media.
Generally when you perform this action, it will move the file from its location to the new one, unless you do this across drives. In that case, you will have dragged a copy of the file to the new drive and the original one will still be in its original place. When you are dragging a file, keep a sharp eye on your mouse cursor while your finger is still holding the left button. If you see an arrow on the file, it means it is about to make a shortcut to the file, but it will still remain at its original location. If it's a plus symbol, it is about to make a copy of it. If you see nothing else, it is about to move the file completely.
To completely remove and place a file to another drive, highlight the file, press CTRL+X to cut it from its location (you won't lose it unless a paste action is performed), then go to the other drive, open the folder where you want it to go and press CTRL+V to paste it. If it is a large file, it is safer to press CTRL+C to copy the file instead of cutting it in case it suffers an error in transit and you may lose both. When the copy is successful, you can delete the original.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of an optical mouse?
Advantages:
- Less moving parts = less likely to break
- Easier to maintain, does not require cleaning
- Higher sensitivity
- Works on a wider variety of surfaces
Disadvantages:
- May have problems on glossy surfaces such as glass
- Higher sensitivity
- Many optical mouses have lights in them, which some people find annoying.
An electrode excites photons causing them to give off light. the light goes further back into the laser, there it is bounced off of a mirror to give it time to reach a high enough veloctity. When it gets to the other end fo the laser it hits a semi-silvered mirror which reflects half of the light back into the laser to repeat the process with other light from more photons. The rest of the light continues through the mirror and becomes the laser beam.
What is the function of left button in the mouse?
The left button, which is the primary button as default to many mouse settings, is to command the basic way of communicating with the computer to act.
It may have various functions defined for it. Particularly for the left-handed.
Why is the mouse often called a pointing device?
This is because the mouse icon on screen is often an arrow, and in computer jargon the user "points" at a part of the screen.
Pointing is done by moving the mouse until the tip of the arrow on screen is at the desired place, such as a menu title.
Which type of computer has a integrated mouse?
The most common type of computer with an integrated monitor and keyboard would be the laptop. However, with the advent and popularity of various mobile computing devices, you may want to add various tablets and smartphones to the list as well.

What happens if you right click your mouse button?
yes. we can do.
if you want to change the function of right click as left click and left click as a right click. yes you can do . go on control panel > mouse> here you can change the property of mouse. you could make right click as a left click and left click as a right click.
does the change occur within the mouse (the signal transmitted by the mouse) or does the change occur within the computer (how it reacts to the signal transmitted by the mouse)? I assume the change occurs within the computer, unless the mouse has a built in receiver and can react to instructions from the computer.
When you move a mechanical mouse the roller ball transfers it's movement to two slotted?
When you move a mechanical (computer) mouse, the roller ball transfers its movement to two slotted encoder wheels that have two sensors that detect the position of the wheels. The sensors are mounted an odd half number of teeth apart, giving two pairs of pulse trains that are 90 degrees out of phase with respect to each other. Running these pulse trains through logic comprising some XOR gates and a flip-flip, you can drive an up/down counter in such a way that the count represents the horizontal or vertical position of the roller. At the point where a change is detected, either by a movement of the roller or a change in status of a button, a message is sent to the computer that includes the button status and the delta-x and delta-y of the roller since the last update. The computer driver then integrates that into mouse messages that drive (typically) windows.
What is the input component of a computer?
