•Before computer mouse was
invented, DATA WAS
ENTERED BY TYPING
COMMANDS WITH THE
KEYBOARD.
The first computer mouse was invented by
Douglas Engelbart in 1964. It was designed as
a wooden box, with two metal wheels that
make contact with the surface and only one
key.
 1973, PARC invented the very first table
computer Alto, and put it into market. At that
time, these devices possess a special input
interface made by SRI. Alto's users were all
attracted to the mouse, and proved it's potential
market capability
In 1981, Steven Kirsch invented a optics model for
the computer mouse system. This model uses light
instead of balls to trace it's movement. It prevents
dirt from getting stuck inside. For it to function,
users need to have a mouse pad (which is probably
expensive).the material is plastic. A cube with 3
bottoms and a wire.
Years later, computer mouse started using wheels.
They were replaced, however, in 1999 by an Opic LED
design from Microsoft. Unlike the one in 1981, this
generation does not require a mouse pad. Its likely to
admit that the material was the same as the preveous
ones.
Until 2000, Apple released a Pro series of computer
mouse. It was wrapped in transparent plastic, and
push buttons were replaced.
Apple started investigating the wired mouse, hoping to make
it to be less complicated. Finally in 1998, Apple's first USB
interface computer mouse iMac was born. The round shape
confused many of its users, and a nickname 'Ice Ball' was
given to it.
S+ARCK computer mouse was annouced by
Microsoft in 2004. Invented by Philippe Starck, it is
Microsoft's first attempt to put art into its products.
Also, this design works well for the lefthanded
people just the same. Bottom line, it's a two-button
optical mouse with a scroll wheel, runs PC or Mac.
In all these years, very less products could be as
creative as the Talk (VN-CX1) SONY released in
2005. This type of mouse can 'transform' into a
telephone when its users need to. It combined the
typical flip phone and portable computer mouse
together. VN-CX1/B is an optical mouse with 800
dots-per-inch resolution that opens up, clamshell
style, to reveal a VoIP phone. To announce
incoming calls, a blue LED indicator light can flash
or the mouse can ring.
The modified Pro computer mouse invented by
Apple in 2005 contained an all direction rolling ball.
The Magic Mouse, in 2009, simplified this even
more. On the top is a gesture text input design. the
material is plastic as well.
2010, Microsoft pushed out the bendable Arc
computer mouse. When not used, this type of
mouse can be laid flat. When used, it can bend to
adjust to its user's palm shape. Microsoft says that
with the Blu-Ray technic, it allows the mouse to be
used on wood or even carpet
