4 Types Of Computer Mice Empty
PostSubject: 4 Types Of Computer Mice   4 Types Of Computer Mice EmptySun Nov 13, 2011 4:14 pm




Computer mice have been making computing tasks easier for many years. Over time, mice have been specifically developed to simplify certain tasks. Optical mice offer more fluid movement, and many of these are wireless. Ergonomic mice have been designed to help arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers. With the variety of mice available, you'll be able to locate a mouse suited for your needs. Websites such as Quill and OfficeMax offer a variety of computer mice to choose from, such as:

1. Traditional Mice



Traditional computer mice are the least expensive, as they use a very simple construction. They connect to your computer using the mouse port, although some mice for Apple computers use a USB connection. Most mice will come with a USB connection in case you prefer the USB port over the mouse port.

No special software is needed, although you might need to reboot after connecting if you're using an older version of Windows. This type of mouse does need to be periodically disassembled for cleaning. You should always use a lint-free, static-free cloth for cleaning. This will eliminate damage to your mouse and stop any bothersome lint buildup.

2. Optical Mice

Optical mice are becoming more commonplace. They move more efficiently, since they lack the ball found in traditional mice. Many are designed to be ergonomic, so you'll be able to use them very comfortably. They are especially recommended for users with carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis.

These mice are less susceptible to picking up dust than traditional mice are and require less cleaning. Most optical mice connect to the computer through a USB port. Special software usually isn't necessary unless you need advanced functions enabled for your mouse. You can enable any special functions that you want your mouse to perform by using the driver CD that came with the mouse.

3. Wireless Mice

Wireless mice offer the ease of connecting without cables. This is extremely helpful for gamers and others who need room to freely move their mouse. The mouse communicates with the computer via an infrared port that you attach yourself. Some newer laptops come with built-in infrared ports that allow you to begin using the mouse without special hardware.

These types of mice come with the necessary driver software. You'll normally be able to start using your new mouse within minutes. Wireless mice are optical, allowing for easier movement. Many wireless mice are sold along with a wireless keyboard. If you have a large enough monitor, you can safely sit well back from your computer and still be able to use it efficiently.

4. Laptop Mice

Laptop mice have many of the same features as desktop mice. They feature a more compact design that's well-suited to smaller spaces that laptops are used in. These mice are good for laptop users unaccustomed to trackpads. They also come in handy if your trackpad fails and you don't have a chance to replace it right away. Laptop mice feature a retractable cord with a USB connection or may feature a wireless connection.
