Did you know how the mouse really works: find out

You’ve probably used a mouse today, but do you know how it works? In this video, we explore the different parts of a computer mouse with keen interest on the optical navigation system. Specifically, we’ll look at how exactly computer mice can track their movement on a mouse pad.

Finally, we take a look at the difference between gaming mice and normal mice, and we explore DPI or dots per inch and how different mice have different amounts of DPI.
