A typical wireless computer mouse. A computer mouse (plural mice, also mouses) [nb 1] is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface. This motion is typically translated into the motion of the pointer (called a cursor) on a display, which allows a smooth control of the graphical user interface of a ...
A gyroscope (from Ancient Greek γῦρος gŷros, "round" and σκοπέω skopéō, "to look") is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. [1] [2] It is a spinning wheel or disc in which the axis of rotation (spin axis) is free to assume any orientation by itself. When rotating, the orientation of this ...
Rotational mouse. A rotational mouse is a type of computer mouse which attempts to expand traditional mouse functionality. [1] The objective of rotational mice is to facilitate three degrees of freedom ( 3DOF) for human-computer interaction by adding a third dimensional input, yaw (or Rz), to the existing x and y dimensional inputs.
Optical mouse. A Microsoft wireless optical mouse. An optical mouse is a computer mouse which uses a miniature camera and digital image processing to detect movement relative to a surface. Variations of the optical mouse have largely replaced the older mechanical mouse and its need for frequent cleaning. The earliest optical mice detected ...

A mechanical mouse jiggler for an Apple mouse. A mouse jiggler is a software used to simulate the movement of a computer mouse. [1] [2] It can also be a mechanical device moving the physical computer mouse. In all cases, it prevents sleep mode, standby mode or the screensaver from activating. Mouse jigglers are also known as mouse movers.

Antikythera mechanism. The Antikythera mechanism (fragment A – front and rear); visible is the largest gear in the mechanism, about 13 cm (5 in) in diameter. The Antikythera mechanism ( / ˌæntɪkɪˈθɪərə / AN-tik-ih-THEER-ə, US also / ˌæntaɪkɪˈ -/ AN-ty-kih-) [1] [2] is an Ancient Greek hand-powered orrery (model of the Solar ...
