mouse A computer mouse （plural mice, sometimes mouses） is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface.
This motion is typically translated into the motion of a pointer on a display, which allows a smooth control of the graphical user interface of a computer.
The first public demonstration of a mouse controlling a computer system was in 1968.
Mice originally used two separate wheels to track movement across a surface; one in the X-dimension, and one in the Y. Later, the standard design shifted to utilise a ball rolling on a surface to detect motion.
Most modern mice use optical sensors that have no moving parts.
Though originally all mice were connected to a computer by a cable, some modern mice are cordless, relying on short-range radio communication with the connected system.
In addition to moving a cursor, computer mice have one or more buttons to allow operations such as selection of a menu item on a display.
Mice often also feature other elements, such as touch surfaces and scroll wheels, which enable additional control and dimensional input.
A computer mouse is named for its resemblance to the rodent.
The earliest known written use of the term mouse in reference to a computer pointing device is in Bill English's July 1965 publication, "Computer-Aided
Display Control", likely originating from its resemblance to the shape and size of a mouse, a rodent, with the cord resembling its tail.
The popularity of wireless mice without cords makes the resemblance less obvious.
