  1. The Mouse and Keyboard By Zach Postma

  2. The Computer Mouse

  3. What it is A device used to move a pointer around a screen, it also has one or more buttons to interact with whatever it is pointing at.

  4. How the basic mouse ball works • When you move the mouse, a small ball inside is rolled. • Touching the ball are two perpendicular rollers, when the ball is moved the rollers spin various amounts and speeds depending on what direction and how fast the mouse is moved. • The rollers are connected by a shaft do a small disk with many holes in it. When the rollers spin, the disks spin.

  5. How it works cont. • On opposite sides of the disks there are LED’s and infrared sensors: one for each disk. When the disks spin the light pulses into the sensors through the holes, this pulsing directly corresponds to the movement of the mouse. • The DSP (Digital Signal Processor) in the mouse changes the information from the sensors into binary data that the computer can understand and the computer moves the pointer using that data.

  6. Other types of mice • Optical Mice • LED mouse • Uses a small LED light and a sensor • Laser mouse • Uses a small laser and a sensor • Blue Track mouse • Uses a powerful blue laser and a sensor

  7. Other types of mice cont. • Connection methods • How it hooks up to the computer • Ps/2 connector • Old connector: better than USB • USB connector • New connector • Wireless • Usually uses USB, more mobile but requires batteries and the connection is not always as good

  10. Mouse manufacturers • Logitech • Microsoft • Apple • Mouse Systems

  11. The Keyboard

  12. What it is The keyboard is a device that lets you input letters numbers and symbols into the computer and communicate with it

  13. How it works • You press a key • Pressing the key completes a circuit inside of the keyboard • The processor inside the keyboard compares the location of the completed circuit to that location in it’s character map • The keyboard transmits the character to the computer

  14. Types of Keyboards • Keys: • Capacitive • Rubber dome • Metal contact • Foam element • Membrane • Connection: • Wires • Wireless • Infrared • Radio • Bluetooth

  15. Types of Keyboards cont. • Compact • Ergonomic • Special • Internet • Multimedia • Gaming • Backlit • Virtual
