History  First mouse was created year 1964 by Douglas Englbart  It was named ” X-Y position indicator for a display system”  Mouse was publiched at 1968 with first grafical OS  Year 1982 came out Commandore 64 with had mouse as accessory

Differend type of mouse’s Mechanical mice  First made mouse’s was looking like boxes they were angular and they had two scrolling metal parts and one button on the top  Ball mouse’s they had small ball under the mice that help the mice roll on the table easier

Optical and laser mice  Optical mice use one or more LEDs to navigete the movement  LED light reflects back on the surface to the sensor’s  Problem with the early optical mice’s was that they needed good surface nowdays that ain’t pronlem anymore

Optical and laser mice  Laser mice’s use the same technic as optical mice but the laser light is much more accurated Figure 1. Optical and machincal mice

3D mice  Known as bats, Flying mice or wands  Used 3D navigation device  Utilized in CAD app. 3D modeling and animation  Newest 3D poiting device is the Wii remote controller. Figure 2. 3D RingMouse Optical-Finger-Mouse-Ring-Mouse.jpg

Main differenses between normal and gaming mice  Main differense is the buttons on the mouse normal mouse has only scroll wheel and two buttons  Gaming mouse has allways four to sixteen buttons  Second differense is the accurate gaming mouse most allways has more then 2000DPI (dots per inch) Normal ball mice dosen’t have so much

Summary  First mice was made 1964  Type of mice’s Ball, Optical, Laser  Atari and Amige used mouse to contorol  Newest 3D poiting device is the Wii remote controller.
