Traditional mouse was connected with computer through cable or cord, but now these days in the market have to various mouse are available such as wireless mouse, those mice do not need any physical wire to make connection with computer. In technology time, some mouse has some extra buttons for performing other special tasks.
Who Invented Computer Mouse?
Douglas Engelbart is
computer mouse inventor. When computer mouse was created in 1960 In 1972, new mouse was developed, that mouse
known as the “Ball Mouse”.
Optical mouse was designed by Lisa M. Williams and Robert S. Cherry in 1980, in this computer mouse removed the rubber ball and use new technique optical LED.
The first wireless
mouse was introduced by David Liddle and Donald Massaro in 1984 with Metaphor
computer;
Types of Mouse
Mouse is very important
part of computer. Today, in the market have to various different types of
computer mouse are available, and every mouse have own functionality so every
user can be used all types of computer mouse according their usage.

Computer Mouse Parts
with their Functions
- Buttons: Now these days, every mouse has two buttons, one is left and other right. With the help of these buttons, users can be manipulating any objects and text as well.
- Ball/laser/LED: In mechanical mouse have rubber ball that roll on the surface things such as table. In the optical mouse have laser or LED, these parts allow to mouse for movement on x-axis and y-axis directions, and its parallel move the mouse cursor on the computer screen.
- Mouse Wheel: Main objective of wheel in mouse for scroll your document page up and down direction.
- Printed Circuit Board: This board is placed inside of mouse chasses, in that board all electronics components embedded such as capacitor, diode, and register etc. This board takes input in the form of electronics signals when user given instructions by mouse such as clicking, scrolling, and more.
- Cable/Wireless Receiver: Corded mouse have cable for plugging with computer. If your mouse is wireless then require the USB receiver for getting the broadcasted signals such as (Infrared, Bluetooth, Radio signals), and then give input to computer.
- Battery: This component is used in the wireless mouse for running stages. if its battery get down then mouse will not working properly.
- Microprocessor: This is a processor that is embedded on the circuit board of mouse. Microprocessor is the brain of mouse, because without microprocessor every components of mouse are workless.
Other Internal Electronic components are:
- Register – Store data in temporary nature with the help of Microprocessor.
- Capacitor – Help to store electronic information in electric field.
- Diode – For flowing the current in one direction.
- Transistor – For amplify or switch electronic signals.
- IC – This is small wafer, and made of silicon
