ABSTRACT
Since its invention in the mid 1960’s the computer mouse has become well renown as a satisfactory and effective tool that enables users to interact with a computer. It is by far the most common form of pointing device on the market at present (Greenstein, 1997). It is defined as a hand held device consisting of a small plastic box that can fit under the palm of finger tips attached to the computer by a wire, and its functions as, movement on a flat surface is used to generate cursor movement. Mice have one to three buttons that may be pressed to perform such functions as changing menus drawing lines or confirming inputs. Movement of the mouse is detected mechanically or optically (Arnaut, 1998). Despite these relatively simple explanations, rapid technological advancements in the computer industry have already enabled wireless solutions to be developed and a wide variety of different styles created in an attempt to improve performance.
