A user complains that his new mouse doesn't work right. He has an old system at home and when he has had this problem, he cleaned the ball on the underside of the mouse to fix it, but this mouse doesn't have a ball on the underside. What can you tell him about his mouse

He is using an optical mouse

Explanation:

The computer mouse is a pointing device that identifies and translates two-dimensional motion to a pointer on a display. The use of the mouse cannot be overemphasized, because it ensures the smooth usage of the Graphics User Interface of Operating Systems (OS) and application environments.

There are different types of mice, such as the mechanical (ball controlling mouse), optical and laser, 3D, gaming, ergonomic mouse and so on.

An optical mouse uses Light-emitting Diode (LED), optical sensor and digital signal processing (DSP).

To properly use the optical mouse he just got, he should place the mouse on a mouse pad and avoid using it on glossy surfaces.

The mouse is an optical mouse.

Explanation:

The computer input devices are used to give command or input data to the system for computing. There are different types of input devices, examples of input devices are keyboard, mouse, trackpad, joystick etc.

The mouse is an input device used to control a pointer on the computer screen. Its control is two dimensional and it used for clicking on icons to execute a task. There are several types of mouse, they are optical mouse, mechanical mouse.

The optical mouse has no ball under it, because it is replaced with light emitting diodes which should be used on a dull-sufaced mouse pad to work efficiently. The mechanical mouse uses a ball to track and control the pointer on the screen.
