Avago Technologies has announced a series of small form factor (SFF) optical mouse sensors with an integrated chip-on-board (COB) LED illuminated optical navigation system that is the thinnest in the ...

If your pointing device is a mouse, turn it over. The chances are you’ll see a red LED light if you’re not seriously old-school and your mouse has a ball, this light serves as the illumination for a ...

In this tutorial, I will show how you can handle the optical sensor inside a cheap optical-mouse for your next microcontroller project. Hope, this will allow your preferred microcontroller to look at ...

I have seen only one other mouse from Genius thus far, when we looked at the DeathTaker, not too long ago. It was small, compact, was stylish, had plenty of buttons, and even offered a weighting ...

AZIO's EXO 1 is very much worth its cost! It functions well, feels good, and it glides smooth as silk. Even though we eventually got used to it, the compact shape may be a turn off to some large ...

Unlike a mechanical mouse (which uses a ball) or a laser mouse (which uses a laser), an optical mouse uses a reflective LED light in order to track movement, which is why the best mousepads for ...

When you flip the optical mouse over, the red and blue lights should turn on. This light has the role of a sensor that recognizes the movement of the mouse, but by applying that sensor and modifying ...

One of the attractive features of early optical computer mice was their lack of moving parts. The idea is that fewer moving parts translate into less mechanical wear and longer life. But even though ...
