Mice also work in different ways for example there are those that include balls which determine the position the cursor on the monitor. However, there are those mice that are classified as optical mice where they use camera technology as well as digital processing in order to compare and also track the mouse position. With this mouse, users do not have to clean it as was the case with the mouse that has a ball. Every optical mouse has a small camera which is capable of taking thousands of snapshots pictures every second.

An optical mouse also includes small light emitting diodes (LED) to provide light for the mouse underneath. The light helps to highlight differences underneath the mouse on the surface. The differences are then reflected back to the camera where a digital process is then used for comparing the pictures ad determining the movement direction and speed.
