Project Report: Working and Types of

Computer Mouse
1. Introduction
A computer mouse is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion
relative to a surface. This motion is typically translated into the movement of a pointer on a
display, allowing users to interact with a graphical user interface (GUI). The mouse is a key
input device in modern computing.

2. History of the Mouse


The first computer mouse was invented by Douglas Engelbart in 1964. It was a wooden
shell with two metal wheels. Over time, the mouse has evolved significantly with
technological advancements, becoming more ergonomic and functional.

3. Types of Mouse
- Mechanical Mouse: Uses a rubber ball to detect movement.
- Optical Mouse: Uses LED and sensor to detect movement.
- Wireless Mouse: Uses RF or Bluetooth technology for communication.
- Laser Mouse: Uses laser beam for high precision tracking.

4. Internal Components of a Mouse


A typical computer mouse contains:
- Sensor (optical or laser)
- Buttons (left, right, middle)
- Scroll wheel
- Circuit board
- Microcontroller
- Communication interface (USB/Bluetooth)

5. Working Principle
The mouse sensor detects movement and sends data to the computer, which moves the
pointer accordingly. Buttons and scroll wheels generate input signals to perform specific
actions on the screen.
6. Ports & Interfaces
Modern mice connect via:
- USB (most common)
- PS/2 (older computers)
- Wireless (Bluetooth or RF receiver)

7. Troubleshooting and Maintenance


- Ensure clean surface and optical lens
- Replace or recharge batteries (for wireless)
- Update drivers if not detected
- Use alternate ports if malfunctioning

8. Diagram of Computer Mouse

9. Conclusion
The computer mouse is a fundamental component of personal computers. Understanding its
types, working, and maintenance is essential for students in hardware and networking
fields.
