The wireless computer mouse

A wireless computer mouse is a device that allows you to control the movement of the cursor on your computer screen without the need for a physical connection between the mouse and the computer. Here's how it works:

1. Sensor: The sensor is located on the bottom of the mouse and tracks its movement. It may be an optical or laser sensor that detects the movement of the mouse across a surface.

2. Battery: The battery powers the wireless mouse and is usually located inside the mouse itself. It can be a disposable or rechargeable battery.

3. Radio transmitter: The radio transmitter is located inside the mouse and sends the movement data to the computer. It uses a wireless communication protocol, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, to communicate with the computer.

4. Receiver: The receiver is a small device that plugs into a USB port on the computer and receives the movement data from the mouse. It can be a USB dongle or built into the computer.

5. Buttons: The buttons on the mouse allow you to click, scroll, and perform other actions on the computer. They are connected to the sensor and send signals to the computer via the radio transmitter.

When you move the mouse across a surface, the sensor detects the movement and sends data to the radio transmitter. The radio transmitter sends this data wirelessly to the receiver plugged into the computer. The computer then uses this data to move the cursor on the screen. When you click a button on the mouse, it sends a signal to the computer via the radio transmitter, which then performs the desired action.

So, a wireless mouse is a convenient way to control your computer without the need for a physical connection. It uses sensors, batteries, radio transmitters, and receivers to wirelessly communicate with the computer and allow you to control the cursor and perform other actions.
