The mouse
The mouse, introduced in 1984, was one of the first non-keyboard devices
to be used with a computer. The mouse is a device to move your cursor
or activate a program, open a file, etc. The mouse senses motion and
button clicks and sends a signal to the computer, which interprets the signal.
Below is an introduction to the features of a mouse. For additional information
about the operation of your mouse, consult the online Help information provided
with your computer.
Positioning the mouse
- Position the mouse at the same level as the keyboard and close enough
that you can use the mouse without having to stretch or lean over.
- When you use the mouse, hold it lightly with all fingers and click
gently. Move the mouse with your entire arm instead of using only your
wrist.
- Avoid resting your wrist or forearm on your work surface while you move
your mouse.
