7. Mice can be:
1. Mechanical with a rubber or metal ball that can roll in all directions. Mechanical sensors in the mouse detect the direction the ball is rolling and move the screen pointer.
2. Optomechanical with optical sensors to detect motion of the ball.
3. Optical with a laser to detect the mouse’s movement. Optical mice have no mechanical moving parts but they are more expensive.
4. Cordless infrared mice send infrared or radio waves to communicate with the computer.
