The Secret of The Mouse Pointer

This item was filled under [ Uncategorized ]

To we nerds it has never been a secret. We have always known how the pointer moves on the screen when you move the mouse. What has not been known until now is what happens when the movement data is transferred to the computer and how it gets the pointer moving on the screen. There’s a lot of work being done underneath the bonnet, as it were. Check this Flash animation out as it illustrates rather clearly the inner workings of the common computer mouse. Don’t worry, you don’t need to understand Japanese at all.
