                      MOUSE


                 A mouse is an input device that helps us select items on the monitor. It is used to play

                 games and draw pictures.

                 Though features of a computer mouse are same,
                 but they are of different types. Some of them use

                 LED light to track the movement of the pointer.
                 They  are called  optical mouse. Some of  them
                 work on a laser light. They are called laser mouse.               Optical Mouse         Laser Mouse

                 These are faster and better in use.
