Types of Computer Mouse
And the time finally comes. Different type of computer mouse has been invented to put an end to the complicated commands in the old version of operating system.
One of the most interesting mouse technologies invented is the wireless mouse which relies infrared, radio signals or Bluetooth to communicate with the computer. Using no cord, the wireless mouse contains a transmitter to send information to a receiver itself connected to the computer. The wireless mouse is usable from 2m to 10m of the computer.
The cordless mouse uses the wireless communication technology (via infrared, radio or Bluetooth) to transmit data to the computer. And like the wireless, it doesn’t use any cord.
Other specification to consider about different type of mice is the function of the buttons. Depending on the manufacturer a computer mouse can have 1 to 4 buttons. However the most commonly used is the two mouse buttons of which the primary button is located to the left side of the mouse.
Especially for computer games players, some mice have been built with five or more extensive arrays of buttons which give easily access to various functions.
Finally each of the different type of computer mouses seems more usable with the scroll wheel, very effective with long document pages. As a matter of fact the scroll wheel can be rotated up and down to navigate within a page as the arrows “up and down” buttons on the keyboard.
Sometimes instead of the scroll wheel, a center button or a “rocker” button is designed to the same effects. But they have to be pressed at the top or bottom to achieve the same tasks.
Since its arrival the mouse has reduced the frequent use of the computer keyboard but especially has simplified the user to access to various functions.
With this device you can track, drag, select, move files, icons and folders…, draws pictures… navigate all over the applications of your computer.

To facilitate your multiple tasks you can use one of the different types of mice.
The mechanical mouse requires a ball to move the cursor on the screen. To get more efficacies with this type of mice, a flat surface named mouse pads is necessary.
The optomechanical or optical-mechanical mouse is a combination of the optical and the mechanical technologies. It uses a ball but detects the mouse movement optically. It is now the most commonly used with PC.
The optical mouse uses a laser; precisely an optical sensor to help detecting the mouse’s moving. More expensive than the two other types, the optical mouses offer more precision and speed and even can be used on any surface.
To be really useful, the mouse has to be connected to your PC. To transmit data to the computer three types of interfaces can be used:
To be really useful, the mouse has to be connected to your PC. To transmit data to the computer three types of interfaces can be used:
The RS-232C serial port connects the mouse to the computer through a thin electrical cord using a 9 pin connector.
The PS/2 port do the same as the first interface mentioned but using a 6 pin connector.
The USB interface receives various types of mice through a USB connector. One of these advantages to use the USB mouse is the possibility to plug-and-play (it) in front or in the back of your computer case, when it contains these kinds of port.
