………………..How do mouse chips work?………………..

As I already know, they have the type of piece at the end of them that is very similar, almost is, the same exact piece that a flash drive would have.Ā As you push the mouseĀ around your desk, the pattern of reflected light changes, and the chipĀ inside the mouseĀ uses this to figure out how you’re moving your hand. Some optical mousesĀ have two LEDs. The first one shines a light down towards the desk. The light from that is picked up by the photocell. “Photocell” is short for “Photoelectric Cell”.

Thanks for reading my post! More posts on the way!!

    Hi Christian,
    This post was very interesting. I like that you cited your sources. I wish you would have included a picture or video to better explain this. I wonder how mice are built?

    Wow! Christian, I knever knew you got $380.00 for your birthday. This blog post was good but three ways you could have made it better are by using Star, Wish, Wonder
    Star: I love how you included how much money you got from your party
    Wish: I wish that you would have added a video to make the post more appealing
    Wonder: I wonder if $10.00 of of the $380.00 was mine šŸ˜‰
