Different Types of Mouse Input Device

A mouse is a small, lightweight pointing input device. Mouse is moved on a flat surface to control the movement of the pointer on a screen. A mouse usually has two or three buttons. These buttons are used to perform different tasks.
Different types of mouse are as follows:
  • Mechanical Mouse





Mechanical mouse contains a rubber or metal ball inside it. The movement of the cursor depends on the movement of the ball.



This mouse is normally used on mouse pad. Mouse pad is a- small flat pad made of rubber or foam to provide easy movement for the mouse. It protects the mouse from dust and dirt.
  • Optical Mouse



Optical mouse contains no ball inside it. It uses a device that emits light to detect the mouse movement. Optical sensor or laser is used in these types of mouse. It is more expensive than mechanical mouse.
  • Wireless Mouse


Wireless or cordless mouse is a type of mouse that does not require a wire to work. It transmits data using wireless technology like radio waves or infrared light waves. The receiver is connected to the computer through a serial or USB port.

Explain Main Difference Between System Software and Application Software

Topic: Explain Main Difference Between System Software and Application Software            Differentiate between system software and application software Before , explaining the main differences between application software and system software, let us know the definitions of Application software and System software with examples. What is System Software: System software is a set of programs to control all components of computer and to manage overall operations of computer system. Differences between System software and application software System software is used as a base to install and run all application software. Examples of system software include: Operating Systems, like Microsoft Windows, DOS, Unix and Linux Device Drivers like Device driver software of a Printer (found on CD normally provided with the printer) Utility Programs like AVAST anti virus, Disk Scanners and File Viewers etc. What is Applicat...

Explain Data Processing Cycle and Main Activities of Data Processing Cycle

After collecting data, it is processed to convert into information. The data is processed again and again until accurate result is achieved. This is called data processing cycle . Data processing cycle involves following three basic activities: Major Activities Involved in Data Processing Cycle Explain Data processing cycle 1. Input 2. Processing 3. Output 1. INPUT It is the process in which collected data is given to computer after converting into binary form. Input step can be further divided into following steps: i) Planning Here objectives of data processing are defined. For example, in examination system, objective is to process student examination data to get result cards. ii) Data Collecting Here data is collected. Data is the raw material for data processing. This must be accurate for getting accurate results. iii) Input Here data is entered into computer. iv) Verification Here collected data is verified to determine whether it is valid for ...

Advantages and Disadvantages of Mesh Topology

Topic: Advantages and Disadvantages of Mesh Topology Mesh Topology In a mesh topology, every device on the network is physically connected to every other device on the network. Therefore, data can be sent on several possible paths from source computer to destination computer. Mesh topology is more reliable with better performance. Mesh Network Topology is mostly used in wide area networks where reliability is important. Advantages of Mesh Network Topology 1. Since, there are many links to transfer data, Mesh topology gets rid of the traffic problem . Data may be transferred through different links. 2. If one link becomes unusable, it does not disturb the whole system . Other links can be used for communication. 3. Since each node has physical connection with other nodes, therefore, one node can transfer data to many nodes at the same time. Disadvantages of Mesh Network Topology 1. It is very expensive due to implementation of multiple links for each no...
