Pointing Devices
The optical mouse:
Inside each optical mouse is a small camera that takes more than a thousand snapshot pictures every second. A small LED (light-emitting diode) provides light underneath the mouse, helping to highlight slight differences in the surface underneath the mouse.
No moving mechanical parts inside
Senses light to detect mouse’s movement
More precise than mechanical mouse
