1. Optical Mouse: This type of mouse uses an optical sensor to track movement. It has a light-emitting diode (LED) or laser underneath that illuminates the surface, and the sensor captures the reflection to determine the movement of the mouse.
2. Wireless Mouse: A wireless mouse connects to the computer without the need for a physical cable. It uses wireless technology, such as Bluetooth or a USB receiver, to communicate with the computer. This allows for greater freedom of movement and eliminates cable clutter.
3. Gaming Mouse: Gaming mice are specifically designed for gamers and often come with additional features. They usually have higher sensitivity, customizable buttons, adjustable DPI (dots per inch) settings, and ergonomic designs to provide better control and comfort during gaming sessions.
