HOLDING A MOUSE


            Look at the fingers of our hands. We place our palm on the mouse gently. Then

            we put our index finger on the left mouse button and the middle finger on the
            right mouse button. These two fingers are used for clicking.

            MOUSE PAD

            A mouse  is  usually kept  on a pad,  which is  called  a
            mouse pad. The mouse pad keeps our mouse free from

            dust and makes it easier to use.

                     ACTIONS OF A MOUSE


            Pointing and Clicking are the two main actions of a mouse. Pointing means to
            point at something using a mouse pointer, whereas Clicking means selecting

            any object or item. Many actions can be performed using a mouse.

                                                                                                    Click
            SINGLE-CLICK

            When we click  the left mouse  button  once, it  is called a

            single-click or click. This selects an item.
