滑鼠的由來 1964年,年輕的美國科學家道格拉斯·恩格爾巴特發明了滑鼠。
他最初的想法是為了讓電腦輸入操作變得更簡單、容易。第一只滑鼠的外殼是用木頭精心雕刻而成的,整個滑鼠只有一個按鍵,在底部安裝有金屬滾輪,用以控制游標的移動。
在早期的時候,電腦的操縱介面是採用指令模式,也就是說要用鍵盤一個字一個字的輸入,直到所謂的『圖形使用者介面』(Graphic User Interface,GUI)的概念被大量應用於電腦操作後,「滑鼠」這項週邊設備越來越重要因為其細長接線像老鼠的尾巴,所以發明滑鼠的道格拉斯就將它取名為「mouse」,
在中文中,因為它滑來滑去的,所以就叫它「滑鼠」。
滑鼠的英文原名是“Mouse”,1968年12月9日,全世界第一個滑鼠誕生於美國加州斯坦福大學,它的發明者是Douglas Englebart博士。Englebart博士設計滑鼠的初衷就是為了使電腦的操作更加簡便,來代替鍵盤那繁瑣的指令。他製作的滑鼠是一隻小木頭盒子,工作原理是由它底部的小球帶動樞軸轉動,並帶動變阻器改變阻值來產生位移信號,信號經電腦處理,螢幕上的遊標就可以移動。自此,滑鼠和PC就結下了那種難以用言語表達的不解之緣。
滑鼠按其接口類型分,分為傳統的COM、PS/2和USB三種。串口滑鼠用的是9針的D形接口。PS/2滑鼠用的是6針的圓形接口.所以我們購買主板時要注意所購滑鼠應與主板的外部接口配套。P/S滑鼠是目前市場的主流產品,逐漸取代COM滑鼠,科技的發展是沒有止境的,即插即用理論的推出,使得採用USB接口的滑鼠成為將來滑鼠發展的必然趨勢.而USB滑鼠則是今後市場的新賣點。而對於一些有專業要求的用戶而言,選用一種採用紅外線信號來與電腦傳遞資訊的無線滑鼠也成為一種專業時尚。

Mouse with the most common standard features: two buttons and a scroll wheel, which can also act as a third button.
A mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface.

Physically, a mouse consists of an object held under one of the user's hands, with one or more buttons.(Although traditionally a button is typically round or square, modern mice have spring-loaded regions of their top surface that operate switches when pressed down lightly.)

It sometimes features other elements, such as "wheels", which allow the user to perform various system-dependent operations, or extra buttons or features that can add more control or dimensional input.

The mouse's motion typically translates into the motion of a cursor on a display, which allows for fine control of a graphical user interface.

The name mouse originated at the Stanford Research Institute and derives from the resemblance of early models which had a cord attached to the rear part of the device (suggesting the idea of a tail) to the common mouse.
