A mouse or computer mouse is a pointing device for a computer.

It is a hand-held peripheral that moves freely on a flat surface. It detects motion relative to that surface either by means of a trackball or tracking laser, both of which are located at the bottom of the mouse.

A mouse also has buttons to select an action, usually relative to the position of the mouse pointer. Typically there are one, two, or three buttons. A mouse can also contain a scroll wheel, which is typically used to advance the scroll bar in the open application.
