A mouse is an input device used to control the movement of a cursor on a computer screen. It typically consists of a small, handheld device with one or more buttons that are pressed to select items or activate commands. The mouse is moved across a flat surface, and the movement is translated into corresponding movements of the cursor on the screen. Modern mice can include additional features such as scroll wheels, touchpads, and programmable buttons, which can be customized for specific functions. The mouse is an essential tool for navigating through the graphical user interface of modern computer operating systems and software applications.
