PROLiNK PMC1005 USB Optical Mouse

1. Optical Sensor: Optical mice use LED (Light Emitting Diode) or laser sensors to detect movement. These sensors track the surface the mouse is placed on, allowing you to move the cursor on the screen.
2. USB Connectivity: The "USB" in the name indicates that it connects to your computer using a USB port. It's a plug-and-play device, meaning you can typically connect it to your computer's USB port, and it will work without the need for additional drivers (though drivers may be available for advanced features).
3. Design: Mice come in various shapes and sizes to suit different preferences. They typically have two buttons (left and right) and a scroll wheel. Some may also have additional buttons for extra functionality, such as forward and backward buttons for web browsing.
4. DPI (Dots Per Inch) Adjustment: Some optical mice offer adjustable DPI settings. This allows you to change the sensitivity of the mouse pointer. Higher DPI settings make the pointer move faster across the screen, while lower settings make it move more slowly. This can be useful for tasks that require precision.
5. Scroll Wheel: The scroll wheel is a common feature found between the left and right buttons. It allows you to scroll up and down in documents, web pages, and other applications.
6. Compatibility: USB optical mice are typically compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and various Linux distributions.
7. Ergonomics: Mice often have ergonomic designs intended to provide comfort during extended use. They may be contoured to fit the hand comfortably, reducing strain during use.
8. Cable Length: The USB cable attached to the mouse varies in length. Longer cables provide more flexibility in terms of where you can place the mouse on your desk.
9. Plug-and-Play: As mentioned earlier, optical mice are usually plug-and-play devices, meaning you can connect them to your computer, and they will start working without the need for additional software installations.
