4.2 Mouse

The mouse is an input device which is guided by hand over a flat
and horizontal surface. The recording of the movement takes place
mechanically or optically. The mouse movement is analysed by the
computer and the cursor is moved accordingly across the screen.
At appropriate positions, the mouse buttons can be used to
activate actions such as inputs, opening and closing files or charts.

The two-button wheel mouse can be used as a two-button mouse
in all operating systems. Under Windows operating systems, you
can use the wheel by turning it to navigate within the application
window and as a third button by pressing it.

The symmetrically designed mice are equally suitable for right-
handed and left-handed users.

Mice may have different plugs with which they are to be connected
to the PC.

PS/2: Insert the round, green plug into the green socket on the PC
before switching it on.

USB: Insert the square, black connector of the mouse cable into a
free USB port on your computer or a connected USB hub.

USB-PS/ adapter: Some mice have a green USB-PS/2 adapter.
Without this adapter, the mouse can be used in a USB socket, with
the adapter in the PS/2 interface. This adapter can only be used for
the mouse with which it was delivered.
