The name "mouse", coined at the Stanford Research Institute, derives from the resemblance of early models to the common small rodent of the same name. Coz it had a cord attached to the rear part of the device, suggesting the idea of a tail.

The computer mouse has long dominated the world of pointing devices in computing, people often refer to any generic computer pointing-device as a mouse. An optical mouse uses a light-emitting diode and photodiodes to detect movement relative to the underlying surface, rather than moving some of its parts — as in a mechanical mouse.
