Where is the mouse?

Probably in small holes or hiding in dark places, like your basement. Frequently visits places where your furniture is screwed.

Is a DVD player an input or output device?

Output. You insert a CD and show (play) the movie.

A DVD Multi Recorder is an output and input device. You can insert a blank CD into it and record even pictures. Then you can click on play and play out of the CD right after you record into it.

What is a mouse cable?

It's the wire that connects your mouse to your computer. The wiring that goes from your computer mouse to the back of the computer or the usb port depending on the gae of the computer and mouse.

Is there an adapter from the USB connector to old type connectors for the keyboard and mouse?

Yes, there are adapters that convert between the old round PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors and USB. They are available from many suppliers including Amazon. I have a couple that came with something else I bought sitting in my assorted connectors/adapters box.

Can you actually remote play PS4 on your PC with keyboard and mouse?

With the new 3.5 update to ps4 you have the option to stream your games to your pc. The program on pc seem to register my keyboard commands but not mouse, so is it even possible to play games that require mouse like any FPS (Battlefield, Fallout, Battlefront..)

What is the difference between a mouse and trackball?

In computing, a mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface. Physically, a mouse consists of an object held under one of the user's hands, with one or more buttons. It sometimes features other elements, such as "wheels", which allow the user to perform various system-dependent operations, or extra buttons or features that can add more control or dimensional input. The mouse's motion typically translates into the motion of a cursor on a display, which allows for fine control of a graphical user interface.

A trackball is a pointing device consisting of a ball held by a socket containing sensors to detect a rotation of the ball about two axes-like an upside-down mouse with an exposed protruding ball. The user rolls the ball with the thumb, fingers, or the palm of the hand to move a cursor. Large tracker balls are common on CAD workstations for easy precision. Before the advent of the touchpad, small trackballs were common on portable computers, where there may be no desk space on which to run a mouse. Some small thumbballs clip onto the side of the keyboard and have integral buttons with the same function as mouse buttons. The trackball was invented by Tom Cranston and Fred Longstaff as part of the Royal Canadian Navy's DATAR system in 1952,[1] eleven years before the mouse was invented. This first trackball used a Canadian five-pin bowling ball. The world's first trackball invented by Tom Cranston, Fred Longstaff and Kenyon Taylor working on the Royal Canadian Navy's DATAR project in 1952. It used a standard Canadian five-pin bowling ball.

When mice still used a mechanical design (with slotted 'chopper' wheels interrupting a beam of light to measure rotation), trackballs had the advantage of being in contact with the user's hand, which is generally cleaner than the desk or mousepad and does not drag lint into the chopper wheels. The late 1990s replacement of mouseballs by direct optical tracking put trackballs at a disadvantage and forced them to retreat into niches where their distinctive merits remained more important. Most trackballs now have direct optical tracking which follows dots on the ball.

As with modern mice, most trackballs now have an auxiliary device primarily intended for scrolling. Some have a scroll wheel like most mice, but the most common type is a "scroll ring" which is spun around the ball. Kensington's SlimBlade Trackball similarly tracks the ball itself in three dimensions for scrolling.

Three major companies Logitech, A4Tech, and Kensington currently produce trackballs, although A4Tech has not released a new model in several years. Microsoft was a major producer, but has since discontinued all of its products. The Microsoft Trackball Explorer continues to be extremely popular (it has no analogous design in production by another company), with used models selling for ~$200 on ebay.

Dell usb optical mouse won't stop randomly scrolling unless if I unpluged what is a possible solution?

A similar question have been answered earlier:

This may be fixed by opening the mouse and check for any dirt or dust caught inside the wheel casing. There are also some reports that putting the mouse in the dishwasher and then let it dry completely may solve the problems, but do not try that unless its a last resort. If neither of this works the only thing to do is to buy a new mouse.

What does MOUSE stand for?

The acronym Mouse stands for the following: {| ! ! | MOUSE Minimum Orbital Unmanned Satellite of Earth MOUSE Manually Operated User Selection Equipment (humor) Hope this helps |}

How do you fix the mouse pad of a Sony laptop that doesn't work?

Try installing drivers for this device. Also try reformatting your PC. If it still doesn't work, consult a hardware PC technician.

Your PC sounds like it is on but there is no power to your mouse or keyboard or wireless modem or monitor what could be the problem?

Is it making a series of beep noises when you start up? Did you install new software recently? Made any changes to your computer in the last month? If so, this may be the cause of the problem. If you hear the beeps, it's a good chance that your BIOS has problems.

Bus width affect a computers data transfer speed?

The bigger the data bus, the more data can be fetched in one go and processed, making the computer faster

How do you play world of tanks?

(basic gameplay controls)

w= forward

a= turns tank to the left

s= reverse

d= turns tank to the right

shift key= is the scope

left mouse button= fires

right mouse button=(hold) moves the camera without moving the turret/gun (click) when aiming at enemy tank locks onto it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

1-3= changes shell

Is it true a mouse is the most suitable input device to play games?

Short answer, yes. The mouse can perform many functions paired with keyboard presses. Since the mouse cursor mainly controls the direction of view, the keyboard W, A, S and D buttons were designed for default first and third person movement. This made it a universal 1PS and 3PS standard so that every game that is released, the learning curve is greatly reduced and they are easier to play instantly rather than back in the old 8-bit, mouseless computer days where you needed to read a manual of controls.

However, the mouse may be versatile, but many people like to use analog controllers such as steering wheels, gear sticks and pedals for racing games, a force feedback joystick and analog thruster slider for flight simulation and analog PS controllers instead o the analog mouse movements paired with digital mouse and keyboard presses.

What food do mouse eat?

cheese, peanut butter, curry, paranthas, rice, crackers, roti, fajitas

How many mouse can a PC have?

One, because the motherboard only has one mouse jack.

Although you may have a USB plug-in mouse your computer system wouldn't communicate with another mouse for it is not programed to.

What are the disadvantages of teaching graphing skills using micro-computer based laboratories?

This will be of necessity a personal answer, based on many years' teaching experience. I found that graphing skills needed to be built up gradually and in a very structured way if students were to actually understand what they were doing. Many of them never really grasped anything more complex than a bar chart, because it was assumed that they could jump easily from that to a curve which shows the relationship between two quantities. In fact this step involves quite a conceptual jump, and if its significance is underestimated, graphs remain something which 'decorates' their experiments instead of informing their learning.

If you are to become good at graphs you need to actually draw them, and allowing a microcomputer to do it for you cheats you of this necessary experience. The value of microcomputer based labs is to generate a lot of data in a short time and to represent that data graphically without delay. It's fantastic if you already understand graphs, but not much use for establishing that learning.

The other major drawback is that you have to understand the limitations of the software which draws the graph, which is an extra layer of learning. (For instance, will it draw a line of best fit, or just join the dots? Do the students know which is appropriate when?)

How many mouse years are in one human year?

The average lifespan of a wild mouse is approximately 3 months due to predators. But it is estimated that the average house mouse will live up to 4 years.
