A little history on the Mouse
The mouse is one of the most commonly used peripherals of a computer. It is a pointing device used to navigate and select/deselect programs on the computer. Like all other external devices such as speakers, printer, monitor etc. you require drivers to ensure its compatibility with your machine.
The mouse is an ingenious device which has gone on a long journey of evolution just like all other inventions. It was first invented as a trackball in 1941 and has since seen changes in its shape, functionality and buttons. From the trackball to Apple’s magic mouse, the device that seemed to have little room for improvement is still undergoing splendid development.
